Let's continue!
​
Seriously, not everyone shares the same views on sex. Some people are legitemetly curious and want to try it. It's not necisseraly a bad thing either, I don't belive that the only "good" sex is within marriage.
​
Sex is amoral. From a fundamentalist's point of view, God has put boundries around sex in the form of marriage. Sex + monogamous marriage between a man and a woman = the basic family structure. Is the sex outside of marriage bad? No. Are the results of that sex bad? Yes. Premiscuous sex leads to pregnancy, STDs, and negative emotional issues IE guilt, anger etc. Sex within marriage just leads to pregnancy. Yes, there are emotional issues, but they aren't the same.
​
I think making people feel guilty about their desires and imploring them to curb or fear them is wrong. By all means no one is encuraging the promotion of promiscuitey, however telling kids to run the other way from sex all together is just as inapropriate IMHO.
​
And that is your opinion, and I have mine. We disagree. I know that telling people to have self control will benefit them in the long run.

Re: Sex is sexy
The problem with sexual education in this country is our cultural heritage of puritanism. People are embarrised / ashamed to talk about sex as adults, or to children.
​
I agree with you that parents should teach their kids about sex and alot do not. You are correct there.
​
As a result we end up with a society that turns it's back on sex in the classroom and towards "the forbidden topic" in our entertainment.
​
I disagree. Have sex education in the classroom all you want. I did. The biological process of sex is a natural science and should be taught. Specific questions, normally embarrasing to kids, should be asked. Where I draw the line is that schools should not teach my kids about condemns and promote sexual activity.
