Appearances are deceptive.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America recently published the following article entitled: Abstinence-Only: Breeding Ignorance. In this poor excuse for factual information, IPPF attempts to debunk claims about the ineffectiveness of condoms. I would like to take two of these claims and analyze them.
First there is the following statement:
Imagine a driver's education course in which teachers show students grisly photos of traffic accidents but never tell them to stop at red lights or buckle their seat belts, and you've a pretty good idea of what abstinence-only sex education is like.
The above statement is not only erroneous, it is down right deceitful. To begin with abstinence education is about teaching teens, who shouldn't be having sex to begin with, about the dangers of having sex. Driver's education is about teaching children how to be safe when driving. The problem here is that those being taught driver's ed are preparing to drive, Abstience education isn't about teaching children how to prepare for having sex.
When talking about Abstinence Education relative to IPPF Sex Education, the following is more appropriate:
IPPF: Remember to fasten your seat belts and make sure your airbags work before you decide to slam into a wall at 50 mph.
Abstience Education: What are you doing slamming into a wall at 50 mph to begin with?
Wearing the seat belt definitely makes you safer, but not much. Not being in the situation to begin with actually solves the problem doesn't it?
If I did run a sex education class - I would explain the act of sex. I would tell the kids statistics about STDs and teen pregnancy. And types of birth control, how it’s used, & the rates of how effective that type of birth control is. And all the *wonderful* side effects that no one really talks about when there prescribing this shit for you. Like bloating, weight gain, migraines, severe cramping, bleeding for over a month, etc.
Female Condom
Follow the directions on the condom package for correct placement. Be sure the inner ring goes as far into the vagina as it can. The outer ring stays outside the vagina.
Guide the penis into the condom.
After sex, remove the condom before standing up by gently pulling it out.
Don't reuse condoms.
Male Condom
Put the condom on before any contact is made.
Unroll the condom over an erect penis to the base of the penis. (Uncircumcised men should pull back their foreskin before unrolling.) The unrolled ring should be on the outside.
Leave about 1/2 inch of space in the tip so semen can collect there. Squeeze the tip to get the air out.
Pull out after ejaculating and before the penis gets soft.
To pull out, hold the rim of the condom at the base of the penis to make sure it doesn't slip off. Don't reuse condoms.
And also the menacing topic - STDs. Explain what they are; example : Genital herpes is a recurrent, incurable viral disease. And just what it means to have them.
First episode Acyclovir (Zovirax) : 400 mg orally three times daily for 7 to 10 days
200 mg orally five times daily for 7 to 10 days
32.00 to 37.00 (generic) Famciclovir (Famvir) 250 mg orally three times daily for 7 to 10 days Valacyclovir (Valtrex) 1 g orally twice daily for 7 to 10 days
Recurrent episodes Acyclovir 400 mg orally three times daily for 5 days 38.00 (brand)
200 mg orally five times daily for 5 days 32.50 (brand)
800 mg orally twice daily for 5 days 50.00 (brand)
Famciclovir 125 mg orally twice daily for 5 days
Valacyclovir 500 mg orally twice daily for 5 days
Daily suppressive therapy Acyclovir 400 mg orally twice daily
3.50 to 4.00 (generic) Famciclovir 250 mg orally twice daily 6.50 (brand) Valacyclovir 500 mg orally once daily (in patients with < 10 episodes per year) 3.00 (brand) Valacyclovir 1,000 mg orally once daily (in patients with > 10 episodes per year)
** Oral **
During the first clinical episode, the goal of systemic antiviral drug therapy is to control the signs and symptoms of genital herpes. Daily suppressive therapy is recommended for use in patients who have six or more recurrences per year. Three antiviral medications have been proved in randomized trials to provide clinical benefit in patients with genital herpes: Acyclovir, Valacyclovir and Famciclovir.
** Older Man with Herpes **
Clinical experience with systemic Acyclovir in the treatment of genital herpes has been substantial. Topical therapy is less effective than systemic therapy, and its use is not recommended. Two newer antiviral agents are Valacyclovir and Famciclovir. Valacyclovir is a Valine ester of Acyclovir with enhanced absorption properties when administered orally. Famciclovir, a pro-drug of Penciclovir, also has high oral effectiveness.
Of course not everyone needs ALL this medication & I’m sure there are several that do the same thing. But that’s the point - do you really want to have to worry about this shit? And I know a thing or two about this, some of friends have it.
I was *lucky* enough to have friends who was open about his disease and the hassle it was, as well as other friends who made many mistakes & had children way too early. By getting to see that I learned a lot. And I personally chose not to have sex till I was 18 years old. Now, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t judge anyone for having sex before me, God knows plenty of my friends did, but I, myself, had plenty of other things to worry about other then sex, STDs, or pregnancy.
Which leads me to my next idea for my Sex Ed education -
I would find someone in that high school that has experience with teen pregnancy and/or STDs, which wouldn’t be that hard in Corpus! And request that they tell there story. Get everyone thinking - “Holy crap if this happened to Steven…” It would drive home the idea that this can happen to you.
And I would explain abstinence, basically not having sex. But to me it means so many other things. Mainly
NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT :
Teen Pregnancy
STDs
Stretch Marks
Emotional Drama
Not to mention everything that goes with it. I would have rather worried about school, getting a scholarship or a promotion. Or even my dream car. Then have to worry about what meds to take & having “a talk” with whoever I wanted to sleep with letting them know I have this horrible disease and if the want to have sex they may get it too.
So do you still want to fuck me?
Something to think about, it at least gives me an idea about what I want to convey to my children. Not to mention all about how hard it is to raise children.
Doesn’t it just want to make you jump someone’s bones? LMAO!
