Singapore's renowned "Dr. Love" on Tuesday launched an SMS sex education campaign in Indonesia, the first of its kind in the world's most populous Muslim nation.
Indonesians are invited to send a text message with any sex-related question to a panel of volunteer local doctors who will either send them a message back or use their question to help compile information on a website.
The brains behind the idea, Wei Siang Yu, who is nicknamed "Dr. Love" for his flamboyant methods of teaching Singaporeans about sex, told a press briefing his scheme would turn conventional sex education on its head.
"In over one month I think we will get a lot of SMS questions and these SMS questions will be answered and compiled into a pool of questions and answers," he said.
These are to be used to create an artificially intelligent "avatar" or virtual character which will later guide people online to the information they want.
"This is not about putting foreign content in Indonesia. This is for Indonesians to participate in public and community-generated health care," the doctor said.
"This is a revolution of the whole landscape of sex education where now you can ask a question in privacy, anytime anywhere."
One survey cited during the press briefing estimated that some 57 percent of young Indonesians learn about sex through their friends or pornographic movies.
The text message programme will be rolled out to Malaysia next, followed by India and China.
