PUPILS at Banwell Primary School are to feature in a BBCtelevision programme highlighting changing attitudes to sex.
Three 11-year-olds in their final year at the West Street schoolappear in Sex Life on January 13 on BBC2. The programme questions howchildren learn about sex and examines if there is a link with whenthey first have sex.
It is one of three programmes on the nation's sex life startingthis Sunday.
One deals with middle-aged women and the dating game and the otherwith couples who have been together for many years. In the secondepisode, broadcast at 10pm - well after the watershed - the childrencan be seen openly discussing adult issues.
The children were filmed in sex education classes and theirresponses to questions outside class are thought by experts to berepresentative of attitudes of youngsters across the country.
In one scene 11-year-old James says:
"Tarts are nice, you don't want someone boring who won't doanything." Another boy says of James' last girlfriend: "She letsJames do what he wants to her and we all know what that is."
Others are more reticent. Helena says she will snog a boy - butnot until she is at least 12 years old.
