For my $0.02- I don't now, nor have I ever been able to comprehend where people get off thinking that telling someone simply, "don't do it" is a viable deterrant to ANYTHING. It worked for Nancy Reagan and drugs [sarcasm] and it's REALLY working for reducing sexual activity in young people [also sarcasm].

You don't have to give the kids lessons in positions and fingering technique, but how about simply telling them, 1. the reasons why sex is dangerous, 2. how to best protect themselves.

I've always equated the "abstinence only" approach to trying to reduce car accidents by suggesting everyone just stay off the road, just because it's "the only way to be sure". Bullshit. Teach them the harsh reality of young pregnancy, STD's, and arm them with humankind's best weapon of all time: knowledge.
