You have probably heard by now how massively the Bush administration's sex education efforts based on abstinence have failed. They have poured millions of dollars of precious funding into "education" programs which exclusively offer teenagers abstinence as a form of birth control and sexual health. This approach turns out to be more ideology than efficacy. That's the conclusion of a study by the nonpartisan National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, which noted:

"At present there does not exist any strong evidence that any abstinence program delays the initiation of sex, hastens the return to abstinence or reduces the number of sexual partners."

    Surprise surprise.

    In fact, a lot of them teach irresponsible practices like not using condoms and a number of them teach that sex is as dangerous as a drug addiction. Really stupid shit.

    People are going to have strong urges, thus it's far better to teach them how to be safe when they act on them.
