Yup. I remember those films. Made me want to run right out and get a puss filed sore speckled disease of biblical proportions.

It occurs to me that this whole "telling kids about sex will make them (want to) have sex" may be a sad consequence of our understanding of advertising campaigns. I'm thinking here of cigarette companies being held responsible for getting kids hooked because of alluring ads in TV shows, magazines, and on movies. With cigarettes and hair products and diet plans (and thigh masters), we know pretty certainly that ads can and do change behavior. That being said, people need to differentiate: sex ed is not sex advertisement - which anyone who has sat through a movie about VD would know.

Let's not forget McSame once dated an Orlando stripper who went by the name Marie The Flamethrower... I'm positive he practiced abstinence. Sex being for procreation and all... Ugh.

begin sarcasim Gee Jessica don't you realize that if you tell teenagers about sex they'll just run right out and try it? Better not to educate them at all, or better yet tell them that it's evil, and unless it is sactioned by Gawd they'll burn in hell for eternity! end sarcasim
