I don't think anyone has a problem with abstinence. It's definitely a wise decision for many, especially teenagers. And no one will argue it is the best method of preventing the spread of STDs.
​
The problem is when abstinence is sold as the ONLY option and any alternative means you're going directly to hell where you'll be..... well you know how it goes. That is irresponsible and a disservice to humanity.

Sex Education
Abstinence IS taught in every Sex Education class in US public schools (not sure about the UK but I'm assuming it's pretty much the same). What exactly are you wanting to happen?
​
Would you like to see them specifically stop teaching about the what-if's and stricken everything after "..but if you do decide to have sex..." from the curriculum?
