So, telling kids to delay sex does not help them to delay sex. But telling kids about the wonders of condoms DOES help them to delay sex.

I call BS.

I call BS on ALL “sex education.”

It has been shown over and over again that the more people are “taught” about sex, regardless of whether that “teaching” is how/when/where/why to do OR not to do it, the result is more sexual activity.

I don’t have a link, but I just read a study about sex offenders. Those who went through an intensive group therapy program-—where they sat around for hours talking about sex acts with other sexual offenders-—actually ended up doing more sex offenses than those who didn’t go through the program. Seems that talking/thinking about sex, regardless of context, leads to more sex on the brain, which leads to more acting out of sexual urges.

I say “duh.”

I have never understood how “sex” can even be turned into “sex education.” It takes about ten minutes to explain the biology of the reproductive process. After that it’s all about values.

You know they are not sitting around in high school sex education classes talking about values. They are talking about sex acts, regardless if it is in the context of doing them or not doing them.

That leads to more people doing them more often.
