Would you rather a kid get proper info on condom use, anatomy, menstruation, STDs, and sexual health, or not be shown anything deemed to be offensive by some adults, such as *gasp* vaginas, penises, and diagrams detailing their mechanisms.
A kid/teen is curious... if they don't get responsible answers, they'll find answers wherever they can. It could be porn, where condom use is very rare, and other unsafe practices are shown as "cool." Or it could be their buddies, who know very little, and often have erroneous info on sex.
Education gives you the power to make an informed decision. Absence of education gives you a much less-informed decision, because you might not know all the precautions/possible consequences/FACTS of life.
