Actually Mat, the christian part was a counter to someone else i suspect will be posting in response to my post. I'm sorry if it seemed like i was cynicaly addressing you as that was not my intent.
I agree with you that std rates have gone through the roof, and nothing will stop those that experiment sexualy from contracting them besides condoms. they are a safe and cheap solution that has a proven effectivness.
I'm sorry to say that your children will have sex before marriage statisticly and that given that the average age has stayed at 15-16 for nearly a century, the chances are good that no matter what you teach your children they will experiment.
At the same time as std's have risen with condom distrabution, teen pregnancy has actually fallen in the last decade despite what the news may say for shock value. It's a conundrum with no answer.
I hope as a parent you will not be angry or upset if your son or daughter is engaged in intercourse before marriage, but rather simply concerned that they do it safely if they are doing it.
