Why can't they speak the obvious truth:
Abstinence is refraining from any contact with the private parts of another person. Period.
In "Stranger Danger" lessons, the private parts are simply defined as those that would be covered by your bathing suit.
How hard is it to teach that?

You might add, 'sex' to the list
As in..."I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky"

Dear liberals:
Please stop defining words to suit your own perverted needs. This ain't Wonderland and you ain't Humpty Dumpty.
Thanks.

I would call abstinence the lack of penetration.
By that I mean Penetration of the Oral, Anal and Vaginal orifice by the partners sexual equipment.
I dont call stroking or fondling a sexual act. Foreplay although it gets one into some pretty big sweats at times is not the sexual act.

The chart must have been designed by Slick "I-didn't-have-sex" Willy.

I don't like your definition.
Did you ever try to eat just ONE potato chip?

People in this country worry too much about who's having sex with whom. That said, a sex ed program that doesn't define "abstinence" accurately is pretty sad.
To: sgtbono2002
Laws against rape and child molestation require you to abstain from sexual relations with the other person. How much "abstinence" is involved?
Running around the bases is still playing around even if you don't go "home".
How is oral (3rd base) not permissible while mutual masturbation (2nd base) is?

The sex positive agenda seeks to lift all moral judgement regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, or number or species of partner.
Hardly something the schools should be indoctrinating students with.
Welcome to FR.

Since when did the term abstinence change to include the two most ineffective forms of birth control possible? Well, actually, the second and third least effective. The least effective being intercourse and just playing the odds against pregnancy- "Poke and Hope"- if you will.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
I was told by my sons health teacher that withdrawal and rhythm are considered abstinence because [sexual partners] are refraining from what they want to do. STOOPID!

To: Prodigal Son
True.
I don't know how they think they've brought abstinence into the picture.

People in this country worry too much about who's having sex with whomI don't worry about that. This is about children and what their parents should know. They're paying for this and these are their children.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Both Planned Parenthood of Maryland and the Catholic Archdiocese of Washington agreed with the parents that the definition was faulty. Uh..... no fooling.
To: Jersey Republican Biker Chick
I am surprised they did the proper thing for one time. You and me both. I'm flabbergasted, actually.
