I don't get it. What's more to say about it?

"Abstinence is not having sex until you get married. It's the only guaranteed safe choice. 100% guarantee you will not get pregnant and 100% guarantee you will not catch a disease from having sex. The decision to have sex is an important one not to be taken lightly and will have lifelong consequences no matter how safely you do it."

That's what I remember from my sex ed classes. What else is there? Do you need a textbook to illustrate how not to have sex? A scientific analysis of exactly why not having sex prevents pregnancy? Discussion of clinical trials that measure the likelihood of contracting an STD while not having sex?

They seemed to not be shy about showing scary movies about what happens if you don't use protection.....why not show some scary movies about what happens to some kids who did use protection but somehow it failed? That could ballance out things a bit......plus, they didn't seem to mind repeating themselves over and over again about safe sex, why not repeat themselves over and over again about abstinence?

My point is....the way it was presented made it pretty clear that the adult world pretty much expected us to be having sex and that the whole "abstinence" speil might as well have been told with a wink wink.

While the message I got out of sex ed was, "Promiscuous sex is risky. It's really risky. My god it's risky. So risky that we're going to spend hours and hours explaining what you'd need to do to protect yourself. Look, here's some horrific pictures of what happens if you fail to protect yourself. If you have sex, no matter how hard you try to be safe, this will always be a risk."

What better promotion of abstinence can there be?

I'm actually shocked any adolescent male would hear
