There is only one fool-proof method that will prevent STDs and unwanted
pregnancies; abstinence. This is what the emphasis of any sex-education
in schools should be.

A spokesperson for the National Abstinence Education Association (NAEA)
says a new report sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) on the effectiveness of comprehensive sex education is
misleading and even dangerous.
NAEA's executive director, Valerie Huber, says the CDC-sponsored
analysis titled "The Effectiveness of Group-Based Comprehensive
Risk-Reduction and Abstinence Education Interventions to Prevent or
Reduce the Risk of Adolescent Pregnancy, Human Immunodeficiency Virus,
and Sexually Transmitted Infections" in the March issue of the American
Journal of Preventive Medicine ignores important findings that
contradict the overall effectiveness of the comprehensive risk reduction
strategy that is predominate over abstinence education in schools.
"In fact, it puts a big warning flag in front of any policy makers who
would want to use their findings for changing or amending sex education
policy in America," Huber notes.
She thinks it was dangerous for the president to make the decision in
his 2013 budget proposal to eliminate all funding for abstinence
education, especially in light of these erroneous conclusions.
"It seems like they are perennially interested in pushing an agenda that
is very much in keeping with their voter base, but not with young
people's health," the NAEA spokesperson laments.
Huber goes on to warn that implementing in public schools programs that
have not been found to be effective will likely do more harm than good.

spins his dangerous preconceptions in a positive light. If you and
your ilk were honestly concerned about people's health, you wouldn't
have actively campaigned in AIDS-ravaged Africa against condom use
either.
You're against safe sex because it isn't in line with your church's
teachings on birth control, not because it isn't safe. You're not
fooling anyone, and it's disgusting that you try.

DO NOT WORK.
Orlando, Florida used to have an abstinence-based sex ed curriculum.
But then, Orlando teenagers were surveyed to measure their knowledge
of sex-related health issues. The results were appalling. The
survey showed that Orlando teenagers believed, among other things,
that you could prevent AIDS/HIV by drinking a capful of bleach, and
that Mountain Dew could prevent pregnancy. Based on these findings,
the Florida Legislature moved to implement a more comprehensive sex
education curriculum.
Let's just stop with the abstinence-only wankage. It is not effective
and it puts our teenagers at serious risk for all kinds of health
risks.

For abstinence to work as a world wide solution it has to have a more
powerful motivation than the motivation for love and sex. What is more
powerful and motivating for the human race than love and sex?

Evidence does not support the use of abstinence only sex education.[1] It
has been found to be ineffective in decreasing HIV risk in the developed
world,[2] and does not decrease rates of unplanned pregnancy.
According to SIECUS, the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the
United States, an organization that promotes comprehensive sex education[12]
in the United States,[13] a "...study, conducted by Mathematica Policy
Research Inc. on behalf of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
found that abstinence-only-until-marriage programs are ineffective."[14] In
2007, the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy published an overview
of policy and research on "programs designed to prevent teen pregnancy and
STD/HIV" titled Emerging Answers 2007.[15] The report included a
comprehensive metastudy examining research on the efficacy of
abstinence-only as well as comprehensive sex education. Despite "[t]wo less
rigorous studies suggest[ing] that abstinence programs may have some
positive effects on sexual behavior", Emerging Answers concluded that
"studies of abstinence programs have not produced sufficient evidence to
justify their widespread dissemination." In contrast, the report judged the
evidence for comprehensive sex education favorably, finding it effective for
a wide range of students.

dipshit. You cannot undo hundreds of thousands if not millions of

> Words without action is meaningless.
> Abstinence is 100% effective.
Abstinence is unrealistic. Completely and totally unrealistic.
Especially with kids. Tell them "don't do this!" and many will, just
to spite the grownups telling them such things.
Do you know why? It's not because they are bad kids, most certainly.
One reason I already mentioned is the biological drive of humans to
mate. We are rampaging balls of hormones and lack life experience as
kids and make mistakes. Remove wisdom and add an awakening sex drive,
something proven to peak for men at around the age of 18.. and you are
going to have kids fucking no matter how much people like you preach
at them.
The real reason tho? Kids don't like it when you lie to them. They are
smart. They know when adults feed them bullshit and abstinence only
education DOES NOT WORK. Why do you think so many repressed youngsters
go hog wild when they go away to college? As soon as kids figure out
that the adults around them fed them propagandist bullshit, they
rebel. Better to educate children as to the real consequences of what
they do and how to be safe then feed them bullshit that won't serve
them in the end.
You are also forgetting an important issue.
1 in 4 women will be raped in their lifetimes, most of them by someone
they know. What do you tell to those girls, hmm? Teaching them to
abstain from sex doesn't educate a rape victim about what will happen
to her body if she gets pregnant or worse.
Oh right, you bigots don't like to talk about those women.
You just like to blame them for their fate and move on.
