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.

Consider? It’s pretty much an automatic.

And who would know more about masturbation than a bunch of government bureaucrats? At least this time we are getting advice from the "experts".

Even though there is zero scientific evidence that an orgasm a day prevents heart attacks....its just another example of pervert adults getting off on kids getting off.
But as a side note, only one a day? Oh wait they aren't Italian.....

Yep, all the sex you can eat and free booze, the new "Bread and Circus" ideology!

Author Steve Slack, director of the Centre for HIV and Sexual Health and NHS Sheffield, denied the document promoted underage sex.

In related news, spokespeople for B. Hussein 0bama denied that ACORN had ever engaged in criminal behaviors and stressed that it's members were 'just as patriotic as anyone else'.

Government has been screwing us for years. Now they want us to screw ourselves, too....

There are days when I think they really do deserve domination by a bunch of angry mullahs.

Well, if the kids are of the Mohammedian persuasion, goats and camels will relieve their urges.

They need a leaflet for that?

What moron thinks a teenage boy needs the government telling him to masturbate?

That is like the government putting out a guidance document telling fish to swim.
