Berlin Senate plans to introduce sexual exploration spaces in daycare centers


Berlin Senate plans to introduce sexual exploration spaces in daycare centers

The Berlin Senate is considering the introduction of designated spaces for sexual exploration in daycare centers, according to a proposed educational program draft obtained by JUNGE FREIHEIT.

Referred to as “individual experience spaces,” these rooms aim to facilitate children aged zero to six in experiencing bodily pleasure. The draft emphasizes the importance of supervised play and exploration, with an emphasis on mutual agreement among children.

While the program promotes a sexually-friendly environment, it discourages anal or oral penetration due to safety concerns. Additionally, the draft emphasizes gender sensitivity and proposes the use of picture books to support positive attitudes towards sexuality.

Similar initiatives have sparked controversy in the past, such as a “body exploration room” concept in Hanover. Despite potential backlash, the draft for the Berlin program remains unchanged as of February 22, 2024, and has been circulated to some daycare centers.
