3. I don't think it's bad to encourage abstinence, BUT ...

Edited on Sun Oct-14-07 12:04 PM by Akoto

I don't think it should come in a religious context, and it should not be at the expense of genuine sex education. Young people need to learn about things like contraception/protection, STDs, and just how the whole process works. I found that aspect of biology really interesting while in school, and learning about in detail never drove me to go out and have wild sex.
