OK, first things first, you can't help but admit that the original, biological purpose of sex is for reproduction. That's not the only reason people have sex, but it is a typical result. Now that that's out of the way:
Personally, I don't feel that warning people about potential risks of contraceptives is bad, as long as they don't try to force abstinence. Before kids go having sex, protected or unprotected, they need to know about the risks involved and decide for themselves if it's really worth it in their case.
Exactly. The only reason anyone would be making things up is if they had an ulterior motive. Although, I'm sorry, but there are side effects to both the Pill and IUD's--but there are side effects to every medication, and ill effects to nearly every surgical procedure. Also, although condoms are a great help in perventing the spread of STD's, even they aren't 100% reliable-not only do they break occasionally, the latex has naturally occuring pores, making it possible (albeit unlikely) for nasty diseases to get through on occasion
( ... )
...considering divorce and adultery are not one and the same, I'd have to disagree. Not to mention the huge variety of factors at work during that time period, and that condoms already existed in 1960.
Oh, and the Kinsey reports. Don't forget them. Adultery was suprisingly prevelent, especially with society so deadset against divorce.
