Sex education, often known as family life education, is the process by which people learn about sex. It offers information about human reproduction, sexual anatomy, emotional relationships, sexual health, unintended pregnancy, immature sexual relationships, reproductive rights and duties, and other facets of human sexual behaviour. This paper is a report of a study aimed to find out and compare attitude towards sex education among youths and elders in different church denominations in Aizawl city. The sample consists of 5 females and 5 male youths from each denomination and 3 elders from each denomination (7 church denominations) respectively. The study reveals positive attitude towards sex education among church members, regardless of gender. Younger members are open to learning about it, indicating growing awareness and changing societal perspectives. Elders of other churches also have a generally positive outlook, with no significant opposition. This suggests a shift from traditional resistance to a more tolerant attitude, possibly due to contemporary issues, health consciousness, and better educational initiatives. This suggests sex education is becoming a more common topic in churches.
