Cool. This man rocks. Thanks Vatsayana!
By the way India banned sex education? I was taught more than bees and birds!
Yes, in 2009.
Thank you 🙏
@Vatsayana. Can you give some links/reports on this please? India banning sex education. I was under the impression that the current health minister spoke about it in 2014. But India never banned it.

Mr Vatsayana, in India, Parliamentary committee reports are not binding on the government. They are mostly ignored. To the best of my knowledge, this too was. I searched for a government order that bans sex education in India. Couldn't find one. Please give a copy of that order or a news report on government banning sex Education.
The adolescent education progrmme known as AEP which was originally meant to be introduced in schools across the country to teach sexuality education was withdrawn following the RS report by respective states.
I see some posts that deliberately try to show India in a bad light. Like those reports of New York Times, Guardian etc. Don't make sweeping statements about India that India has banned sex Education? When? Who?
I admire your patriotism. But pls do some research of your own. Sex education without talking about safe sex and masturbation is like teaching how to make omelette without eggs, which is what a majority of Indian schools do even now. If you got more than that consider yourself lucky.
Can you give some links to that? Education is a subject in the concurrent list in India. So knowing which states could withdrew sex Education from AEP run by HRD ministry will be interesting to know.
Mr Vatsayana. I am just asking a simple question. can you please give a news link or copy of government order/orders that banned sex education? After that you can question my patriotism. I am a patriot Indian. Period.
This is the problem with you guys. You sent a report of NCBI, an American agency. It says sex Education was banned in six indian states... Don't you even have an Indian source. India has only six states?? Don't fall prey to Western propaganda while posting in the name of an Indian sage!
If you have the ability for comprehension pls read the RS report which I shared first, drafted under the leadership of a "very patriotic" Indian and then argue. But I doubt you will get it even if you read.
Hey, you are misleading the readers. Parliamentary committee reports are not binding on government. please show the copy of the order on banning sex Education in India or a news report that said so. Please apologize to the readers.
The one thing Prawin Ganeshan had in abundance when he came back to India after his masters in business management from Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, was an appetite to take big risks.
Hailing from a business family in Tamil Nadu’s Tirupur, a place known for its cotton knitwear exports, Ganeshan wanted to do something unique. So in 2013, at the age of 26, just four years after India banned sex education, he opened what is arguably the country’s first brick-and-mortar sex shop in the busy commercial hub of Tirupur.
“I was prepared for all kinds of backlash,” says Ganeshan, founder and CEO of Kamakart.com. Instead, the reaction he received was overwhelmingly positive. His shop became so successful that in less than two years, he opened a branch in Chennai and then another in Bengaluru. “It was rocket speed growth,” says Ganeshan who now runs a chain of 10 sexual wellness shops all over South India and one in Sri Lanka under the name Kamakart.com, selling everything from condoms to long distance app-controlled vibrators.
(He was also the co-partner of Kama Gizmos, the recently shuttered sexual wellness shop in Goa, allegedly over lack of trade license.)
His 10 sexual wellness shops located all over South India now boasts of a combined client base of 3 lakh (with over a lakh repeat customers) and receives a daily footfall of 10 to 30 customers per shop. But his biggest windfall came last year, when sales reportedly spiked from 100 to 300 per cent following coronavirus.
“I always knew sexual wellness had great scope for growth in India. The business is now way beyond our expectations, growing at a rate of 25 per cent, month on month” he says.
