UK: NHS recommends pupils have an 'orgasm a day' to reduce risk of heart attack and stroke

The NHS is telling pupils they have a 'right' to an enjoyable sex life in a leaflet being sent to schools.

It encourages them to consider an 'orgasm a day' as a way reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke.

And if they can't get sex, the leaflet says children should consider masturbation.
 

The advice appears in guidance circulated to parents, teachers and youth workers. It says experts have for too long concentrated on the need for 'safe sex' and loving relationships - while ignoring the main reason people have sex, for enjoyment.

But family groups condemned the guidance last night, saying it would encourage children to have underage sex and could lead to rising rates of sexually-transmitted diseases.

Around 40,000 teenage girls fall pregnant every year in the UK - the highest level in western Europe. More than half end up in abortion.

The leaflet has come to light just a week after it emerged that a £6million initiative to reduce teenage pregnancies more than doubled the number of girls conceiving.

The Government-backed scheme tried to persuade teenage girls not to get pregnant by handing out condoms and teaching them about sex. But a study in the British Medical Journal found girls on the scheme were 'significantly' more likely to fall pregnant than other girls.

Now criticism is focused on the new leaflet, entitled Pleasure, which has been drawn up by Sheffield primary care trust.

Teacher Teacher I need to go to the bathroom!

No you don't Johnny, just go into the supply closet you'll find some tissue there and some porno mags.

What's the incidence of heart attack and stroke among teenagers?

Don't know but I bet it's higher when you are masturbating.

[big'ol_freeper]

That’s all wacked out.

[Islander7]

Is there any mention of sharing the experience with someone of the opposite sex?

What do the Muslims think of this? I'll bet this is going to chap their arss.

It’s time for Monica Lewinsky to get back into government.

[Maelstorm]

The cost of sexual permissiveness far out weighs the cost of such bug bears as tobacco use, obesity, environmental quality, etc. The total once you add in the cost to provide for the resultant children, the resultant disease, the prisons for those resultant children who are born to broken homes and the cost of the chaos such lost children produce in acting out is trillions of dollars. No one seems to care. It isn’t a religious issue it is a costly issue.

Go away troll! I see your pattern quite clearly. Go make someone else look bad. FR does not need the likes of you.

[wardaddy]

Even though there is zero scientific evidence that an orgasm a day prevents heart attacks

I'm living proof it doesn't prevent heart disease

Thats funny.
When my brothers were teenagers my dad sat them down and told them if they masturbated they would go blind.
They said they were laughing so hard they could hardly breath, he stormed out of the room.
You see he was nearly blind.

only once a day? that was just a start when I was just a pup.

This is an out and out infringement of religious freedom and the rights of parents to raise their children as they see fit.

Of course everyone will go blind.
