Schoolgirls in a central Polish town will soon be told to stop flirting so that boys can learn to communicate on a "platonic level," a newspaper said Wednesday.

The Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper said new guidelines on sex education for teachers prepared by school supervisors in the central town of Lodz pointed out what it called a difference in the development of girls and boys:"She can only desire men she loves, whereas a boy does not want her as a whole, but is only interested in her body."

Schools in Roman Catholic Poland will be required to introduce sex education when a new law on family planning and protection of the unborn child comes into force March 16.
