The trouble is, it's been proven over and over again that trying to get
adolescents to abstain from sex is futile.


Decades ago, one of the big fundie churches in Jacksonville (and there
are many of them) insisted its teens take pledges to abstain from
premarital sex. Five years later, the result? More unwed pregnancies
among these teens than among the same demographics in the general
population.

I've never understood the "hangups" Americans suffer about sex and force
upon their teen-agers. If you are practicing consensual safe sex and you
are teens of about the same age, you're doing what comes naturally.
