When i was younger i went for every skirt that flapped in the breeze...As long as it was a female that didn't look to bad and wasn't smelling..fair game.I was fortunate that it was the time it was and not now.If i lived the same way i did then now...it would only be a matter of time until i was dead,or worse..

I have to agree with you, abstinence works. The only problem with that is that it isn't realistic. Humans have a very strong urge to procreate. That is why there are over six billion of us crowding this planet. We need to deal with the realities of sexual intercourse and sexually transmitted diseases. People are going to screw around whether they should or shouldn't. Education along with birth control and condoms will reduce both unwanted pregnancy's and std's. Sticking your head in the sand and calling for abstinence only will solve nothing. -

Where did you pull that stat from? Condoms are around 97% effective if used correctly. The problem with your way of thinking is that if you don't teach kids how to use condoms the right way, they will use them wrong. They will break. So if you don't teach kids how to use a condom the right way, they will end up pregnant or with an STD. So you can't teach to abstinence. It doesn't work. You can tell kids, as I was told, that abstinence is the only way to truly protect yourself, but you have to teach them the rest. I was taught the right way and I have survived when a lot of my friends didn't.

About a decade ago, I read the fastest rising rate of STDs were among the sexually active elderly.
