Us democrats or not-conservative-enough people are encouraging sex because we invest in condom companies.
Just like Gore and his Prius factories.

Pressure would be telling them not to have sex. Or to have sex.
Try to remember your teen years. You're just an erection with an awkward body behind it, and that's really what it is. The only way to have adult sex only become the norm would be by curbing the hormones in our teens through some drugs.
It's a part of us. We're animals, we're geared to reproduce, and we're wired so that naturally, we want to do it most at 16-17-18. Women have their sexual peak later in their 20s, but the novelty and appeal of sexual desire and activity is something that's hard to say no to.
As a species, if we were wild, it'd be fine to have sex at 14, 15, 16, with or without protection. But it's the fact that we live in a society such as ours, where 18 is set as baseline for most things of adulthood, that makes it "dangerous" to have teen sex.
Sex is not part of adulthood exclusively, no matter how strange/wrong it may seem. Biologically, its there from ages ~13 and up.
So educate, so that they can do it safely. Cuz they're gonna.
