Just Say Duh
Told you so. Seems that abstinence-only education leads to fucking like bunnies.
First of all, I am going to need a new keyboard and a fresh cup of coffee. That synopsis was priceless.
Would you like to know why I lost my virginity 3 days before my 18th birthday? Because I was SICK OF WORRYING ABOUT TRYING TO REMAIN ABSTINENT. Seriously... the stress of "saving myself" was killing me. I figured if I just got it over with, I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. I was right. I never worried about remaining a virgin again. Now, this was almost 20yrs ago and it was just a small evangelical movement. I can only say that these results do not surprise me.
The surest way to make a teenager want to do something is to tell him he can't.
"Abstinence only sex education programs have had no impact on teenagers' behavior." - This is incorrect and misrepresents the facts as stated in the research. Abstinence only is COUNTER-PRODUCTIVELY impacting on teenage behavior. The implications for drug education policy are clear and obvious. /Blair
