Everyone is so worried that kids will have more sex if they have more information about it. This is the equivalent of sticking one's fingers in one's ears and saying, "la, la, la, la, la," instead of just listening. How well does ignoring sex ed work? Look at our teenage and out-of-wedlock pregnancy statistics versus any developed country sometime.
It might be helpful if we stopped being so scared of everything, including sex, and actually talked about it. Information helps people, not ignorance. For those of you waving Bibles, what's that joke about the preacher's daughter? The more repressed people are the more deviant behavior arises. Don't believe me? Think about whether there is a connection between saying you're being "bad" when you eat chocolate cake and our obesity problem. Now transpose to being "bad" about sex.
