This Morning viewers have been left 'sickened' by a sex expert's plans for the national curriculum.

Nadia Bokody wants masturbation to be taught in schools to children as young as 11-years-old.

She cited research that over half of British women can't accurately label the vagina and one in three young women experience pain during sex.

Nadia wants kids to learn about the function of the clitoris and have an understanding of what sex is supposed to feel like.

While she believes it would be beneficial for both sexes, the sex expert thinks boys are far more comfortable with their sexual organs.

Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford seemed shocked and questioned if she was encouraging kids to have sex at a younger age.

Speaking on This Morning, she said: "I think the benefits of masturbation are really around creating a lot more body autonomy - particularly for young girls.

"There's so much stigma and mystery surrounding women body parts. By acknowledging masturbation is essentially taking that bit of taboo away."

Nadia said more youngsters are having sex and young girls in particular are entering puberty sooner than ever before.

She said: "By 11 they need to have an understanding of their bodies. The curriculum at the moment medicalises the sexual organs and creates a lot of shame about. It's pro celibacy.

"My stance is if we can teach young girls to understand they bodies more and the function of things like the clitoris to actually give girls an understanding of whats sex is supposed to be like."

Eamonn asked if she was suggesting that boys are "more comfortable with the practise".

Nadia replied: "I think it's beneficial for both sexes. Socially we're more comfortable with boys labelling their genital area. It's acknowledged in humour messages we see on TV."

Masturbation is taught to 14-year-olds in Finland, Austria and the Netherlands.

Shocked This Morning viewers took to Twitter to shoot down the idea.

One viewer said: "I really can’t see a class of 11yos sitting, listening sensibly while the teacher explains the function of the clitoris"

Another added: "I can sort of see where she's coming from but still.....yuck"

A third said: "NO masturbation should NOT be taught in school sex education I would be horrified if my 11 year old daughter was taught stuff like that"
