Here’s an idea: Telling teenagers not to have sex doesn’t work, but if parents and teachers talk to them about it, the taboo and mystery are gone. It even makes it seem more ‘clinical’. Sex may even become less appealing to kids if they hear about it from adults. Of course they won’t refrain, but it may slow them down some.

Let’s waste money telling adults not to have sex, because it was working so well with teenagers. Pathetic.

You can bet my kids will have real sex education because I will tell them every thing they need to know and then some, because I care about my kids and want them to have the knowledge they need.

James said: “People are going to have sex whether you tell them not to or not. If we taught them to do it safely weâ€™d have a heck of a lot less AIDS infected pregnant 15 year olds.”

Why, oh why don’t they (the abstinence-only crowd) get this yet??? In the entire recorded history of the human race, telling people not to have sex has NEVER worked, not in 6,000 (give or take) years! Why is it supposed to work now, all of a sudden? It won’t. So not only is abstinence-only evil, it’s also pathetically naive and downright stupid.

We should absolutely not be giving these people money!

The USA Today says that now the federal government wants to target 20-somethings with its no sex outside marriage crapfest. Nevermind that 90% of us have already had sex (and what is up with you other 10%?). Glad to see the government has solved every other problem in the world.
