From my experience as a sales assistant in a pharmacy, most customers who request for emergency contraceptive pills didn't consult doctor for it. They came for the "morning after pill" mostly without prescription letters. In fact they are not educated about RISK of overdosing the pills. These would usually result in hormonal imbalance of the body and may increase risk of cancers caused by sex hormones.

Sex education should involve both boys and girls. During my secondary school, Kotex did a seminar on women's health, generally to educate the the girls about menstruation. It's sad that the boys are excluded from this seminar. When I was 17 years old I had no idea about women's menstruation. I only know that they bleed sometimes but, didn't know the reason why. I learnt it after I'm in college.

It was unfortunate to know how much our youths missed such an important knowledge. With entertainment media extensively sexualizing actors, actresss, musicians(SNSD), proper sex education should be disseminated. The media portrayed the standards of how man and women should be. The lead to a majority of women to believe that she has to be beautiful so she can be ordained with respect by society. To be beautiful is fine however, what's evil is the obsession of beauty.

I believe boy should be educated about women's health extensively as this would help to curb irresponsible sexual behaviour. I'm sure it is common for most ladies to be pressured for sex by their man. As a man, I believe it's NOT because man don't understand women but, they are not properly educated about what a women is.
