Teenage and Gen-Z sexualities have often been characterised or misunderstood as immature, unruly and require guidance of even disciplining. The Ministry of Education’s Teachers Handbook, “The Teenage Years”, was developed to impart mainstream social morals on sex and sexuality in high schools, and which in its earlier incarnations, contained exaggerated fears about the excesses of certain practices such as masturbation. These images play the role of public information posters, meant to disseminate the values of yesteryear.
Accompanying these images is a sultry narration of a passage about masturbation from the handbook.
