A state in Northern Malaysia is providing sex education for elderly couples in an attempt try to lower rising divorce rates. This isn’t the first attempt by the Malaysian government; they have also implemented newlywed sex courses and free honeymoons for couples in crisis.
For a country that’s hitting the third world mark you would think they would want to spend their money on more important things and just throw some free porn in front of the couples in hopes that would help them, but then again, that’s just my theory and what do I know?
I guess this weekend long seminar for elderly couples aims at “bringing back the joy in sex” and shows long time married couples how to get their partner’s libido going again.
It is totally rare for a Muslim majority country to be so open when it comes to sexual health but come on people, we’re talking about elderly couples here, not newlyweds! Do they really need to spend money on trying to get them back in the sack with each other? It’s not like they’re going to be making babies. The only thing they’re going to be making is bad visions in the minds of those who read this article and then picture two elderly Malaysians having nasty sex.
I guess for a country where three out of every 10 marriages are ending in divorce, officials are just trying to keep couples and families together by making courses available that are aimed at retaining intimacy.
Last year, the country organized a sexual relations course for newly married couples and encouraged them to bathe together and use exotic fragrances to “arouse sexual desire”. They have also asked local cosmetic firms to introduce specific perfumes that are targeted for couples because a lot of the couples that were divorcing said it was not only because of a lack of sex, but because of their partners bad body odor!
This whole initiative seems like something that you would watch in a movie, or even a really bad porno. But, it’s all real! I wonder if the American government would hop on this band wagon…
