How to update wife that her hair-down-there is a little raging?


Recent studies seem to indicate that abstinence-only sex lessons doesn't actually prevent kids from have sex; on average, teens who pledge to remain virgins do so only for roughly four to five months longer than those who have comprehensive sex instruction. In terms of teen pregnancies and STD's, comprehensive sex childhood completely has abstinence-only beat- in countries where on earth comprehensive sex education is qualified, the numbers are always lower.

I know that it's conterintuitive, but we've get to start seeing that abstinence-only sex education, for adjectives its talk, simply can't deliver. It doesn't do what it say it can.

I definitely suggest you read Judith Levine's book "Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Our Children From Sex", which discusses many studies which have shown the failure of abstinence-only sex education.

Hope that help!
