From 1920 to 1930 did divergent social changes appear, so called ‘the age of date’ which brought forth the issues of love and sex between male and female. It caused the need of sex education, which gave birth to a social atmosphere of how to deal with sex and date around 1933. Kim Pilley, as a founding member of YWCA in Korea as well as an representatively woman educator, published the book Sex Education. In that book, Mrs. Kim covered up the issues of sex and marriage in a broad way that her explanation did not reach to the unmarried youth, but also to the married couples. A few distinct facts appear in her discussion. Firstly, she accentuated the importance of how to make sex-desire a noble characteristics conducive to a socially positive production. Secondly, she did not disregard an economical phase of marriage at the expanse of that of mind and body in marriage. Thirdly, she stressed a legal aspect of marriage. To this fact should the presider of the marriage, specifically the pastor, pay more attention than the married couple do. Conclusively, Sex Education makes a scrutinized summarization of sex education itself in the time when only the necessity of sex education attracted social discourses.
