i agree that it would be nice if people were more "selective" about who they were "taking their clothes off for"... but really, if they're doing it safely, i don't see why it's anyones business how many people someone has slept with.

and yeah, teens are doing a lot of self discovering, but maybe sex and sexuality is part of that?

"Comprehensive sex ed only has %5 abstinence."

Well no fucking shit, seeing as there are so many types of contraception.

And her insisting that abstinence only works.

[melamserious]

Especially seeing as all you have to say about it is, "Of course the only way to be sure is to not have sex at all, but if that's not the case..."

The interviewers were vapid. The abstinence woman talked way too fucking much.
