Ignoring the fact that encouraging sexual activities out of children is just plain out wrong, this kind of activity is not the responsibility of government.

Sexual activity is normal, healthy human behavior, even in people as young as 15 or 16; the taboo against it is cultural, not biological. The government should, however, encourage those who are going to engage in sexual activity anyway to do so in a responsible manner.

That's the most completely ignorant statement I've ever read.

It is an obligation of the government, however, to do what it can to protect the health and welfare of its citizens. If the government does not promote sex education, and as a result both unwanted pregnancies and STDs become an out of control epidemic, then this will have a serious and negative impact on the social fabric and resources of the country, and the government is failing in its obligation to the people.

STDs can still be transferred via Oral Sex. If anyone believes that teenagers are going to get all excited about getting it on and then stop at Oral Sex, I'd like to show them some real estate in the Florida swamplands.

I agree, and that's why I said in a previous post in this thread that encouraging oral sex wouldn't work. I am all for encouraging responsible sexual activity in those who are going to be sexually active anyway.

well, the most lethal of the baddies is unlikely to be passed on through oral, aids.

You can still get most other STDs and they are all quite nasty and can permanently alter your life.

So long as they give a class on oral Sex Technique and Ettiquette, then it should be all well and good... most 16 year-olds I'm sure would have a very umm.. "hard" time getting it ready for round two action if the female (and conversely, the male) was adept at delivering the cunnilingus, then all would be well, and healthy skin would abound...

They have a huge teen pregnancy rate and their solution is to give people condoms and contraceptives? I wonder if anyone is smart enough to think that maybe they are promoting sexual behavior by offering these items? It's just wrong to promote that sort of thing. Having children at such a young age is not healthy (that's why you must be 18

duh). Sex is a method of reproduction and can be used for pleasure, but that is only a side effect. Well, hopefully more deadly STD's will develop and the stupid part of the population will be killed off. That's the best I can hope for.

I'm sorry, but I'd smack my kid silly if he/she was engaging in sexual activity prior to the age of 16...whether it was in a responsible manner or not. There are a lot better 'normal, healthy, human' behaviors that they can be engaging in at that age. AND I wouldn't want the government telling my child otherwise!

Amen to that. Those Brits are sick :disgust:

If the dam English guys would just put a condom on or just not orgasm so dam quickly and pull out. Or get in to a relationship then work things out with the pill it would be fine...........

btw I live in England and read that and think dam wtf? Why didn't they pass that when I was in school and U16

Just plain wrong? So sex is wrong? Or is only pre marital sex wrong? Why is it wrong? For the same reason not tithing the church is wrong?

i guess when your right hand's yer best friend, you won't have to worry about your wish coming true.

// best way to deter sex: have a really old and nasty women teach sex to the kids, that should deter them by scarring them for life. imagine picture of May Young popping into your mind everytime you think doing the nasty, that's better than preaching abstinence!
