Experts say sex abstinence program doesn't work

“Those adolescents who choose to abstain from sexual intercourse should obviously be encouraged and supported in their decisions by their families, peers and communities. But abstinence should not be the only strategy that is discussed”

Programs teaching U.S. schoolchildren to abstain from sex have not cut teen pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases or delayed the age at which sex begins, health groups told Congress on Wednesday. via Reuters

Sex is a strong feeling and no matter what your mind is telling you your body has it's own language.

Hasn't the religious community failed at this already. When did it turn into our governments job to try to promote abstinence. If teen pregnancies are what we are trying to prevent, then let's teach how not to get pregnant. This could include abstinence. But we need to be more realistic. Hey how about we focus on improving our economy and young women's chances at being successful in life before she considers bringing children into it. How it is better to bring a child into the world if you have the means to care for it. Unlike I did. Talking from the been there point of view here. Until then, condoms, condoms, condoms, or abstinence.
