Abstinence Only

…but anal sex first!

Teens who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are more likely to take chances with other kinds of sex that increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, a study of 12,000 adolescents suggests.

The report by Yale and Columbia University researchers could help explain their earlier findings that teens who pledged abstinence are just as likely to have STDs as their peers.

Whoops.

Are kids today really stupid enough to not understand how disease is transmitted?* Reminds me of a certain someone with whom I used to work who believed her boyfriend when he said “You can’t get pregnant if I only stick it halfway in.”

Hey hey hey, look who’s got a bun in the oven.

Sounds to me like we need more sex education**, not less.

** In the homes. In the schools. Wherever. Because these kids are dumb.
