That is essentially what I'm getting at--change the way of thinking in adolescents and teenagers and you end up with more responsible adults. The reverse we have already witnessed. It took only one short generation (only ONE!) for teenage sexual experience to go from being an abnormality to being the norm. That happened with the advent of widely available contraception. Take away that safeguard--which is not a safeguard at all--and you will see teens, particularly girls, hanging on to their virginity longer. Not all of them, of course, because there are still so many girls out there whose female role models, their moms, are--to put it bluntly--sluts.

Well I would suggest that you would have to also educate on the dangers of oral and anal sex. Handjobs....no one wants thumb herpes. Kids will do what they can unless there is a wholesale change in how society views sexual relations. If that is a goal of anyones’ I wish them the best of luck because in principle, I completely agree. It’s the means and the methods that worry me.
