I'm a touch curious, I have to admit: are 'faith-based' abstinence programs ones related to religious organisations? As compared to people who are abstinent for other reasons? (Practical, personal belief, asexual, etc.)

Okay. I wasn't sure, because, in my head, I imagined "faith based" as kind of... "have faith, and God will keep you a virgin!"

Which I find a little on the questionable side, even as a Christian.

It answers the questions fine. And thanks for commenting - I don't mind people dropping in for these questions at all!

And I'm particularly glad to hear from someone who's lived in non-western countries, because I know that there's a big gap between even Australian and US sex-education lines. All I can say is, thank heavens the Australian government hasn't started supporting abstinence-only programs.

My own upbringing is heavily Christian and my mother was sitting me down and telling me about sex (with help from a book about sex called 'Where Did I Come From' - it's a by-word in Australian adolescence of the 80s-early 90s) by at least 10.
