Reply #11: I got NO sex ed in school

[Warpy]

but I had the kind of mother who got into hot water for telling teenagers in the neighborhood where babies came from and how to avoid them.

I always say knowing the facts about birth control and what happened when some selfish guy refused to wear a condom or I didn't have a place to put in the diaphragm or I wasn't on the pill or screwed 'em up caused me to be a late bloomer, sexually speaking. That's also been the experience in most of western Europe where complete sex education is provided.

Girls who are taught abstinence are taught a lot of herbal romance and fail to think ahead and protect themselves, something studies are showing in no uncertain terms.

I'm just wondering how many young girls will have their lives ruined by having babies too early before people come to their senses and reject this nonsense. Some never will, I know, but the majority will have to act eventually.
