The procedure utilized by the writer in this study was the philosophical method of induction and deduction. The analysis was interpreted from the related literature which contained pro and con views, opinions, and studies about sex education and related areas by various individuals.

In this philosophical method of research the writer designed the study which elicited the kinds of facts needed to test the hypothesis. It was a subjective process. The writer chose a descriptive study and assembled the data that fit the purpose of the study.
