Abstinence Only Idiocy
Over at Positive Liberty, Jason Kuznicki presents a few intellectual arguments against abstinence only sex education policies. Not wanting to dilute the intellectual tenor of that post, I chose to post my comments here. Please allow me to present a more practical example of the idiocy of abstinence only sex education.
I recently had a teenager explain to me his idea of safe sex: you simply do not allow the female to be on top. You see, if the female is on top she enjoys herself too much and it is hard to get her off before it is "too late."
Abstinence only education at work. I did my best to disabuse him of his notion that he was well informed, but I'm not convinced anything I said sunk in. It's likely only a matter of time before he gets his girlfriend pregnant and wonders why. After all, he never let her be the top and he always pulled out in time.
