Vaguely unrealistic analogy time
"Don't play on the iced up pond kids, its not safe. If you do it you may fall in and drown or freeze."

"Don't play on the iced up pond kids, its not safe. If you do it you may fall in and drown or freeze. Some of you may find yourself in a position where you are on an iced up pond, either through careful thought or through peer pressure, or maybe you'd been drinking. If you do find yourself on a frozen pond, here are some methods for maximising your safety...
...none of these methods will guarantee your safety so remember - the best thing is not to get in that situation in the first place."
Education.
I would rather kids not only be made aware of the risks of an act they are naturally attracted towards, but also how to minimize that risk. Perhaps some kids will have sex because they think it is safe with protection (because they weren't paying attention or whatever), but I think that cost is a hell of a lot lower than the cost of relying on kids to simply do what they are told, which many won't and when they don't, they do things in risky or dangerous way.
To avoid going over previous stuff, there is an open thread on this subject already.

filming it
I think that the filming of endevours might be drifting from sex education onto sex and morality, but I suppose its a valid enough sub-topic. With that in mind, and tentatively awaiting a smackdown from the appropriate party:

How does filming it change the inherent act?
I woiuld say it changes it drastically.
The question isn't 'to what magnitude does filming the act change things' but rather in what way does recording the act onto a ribbon of magnetized rust alter the act? To me it carries the implication of 'Does filming an act alter the morality of that act?'. I assume the next question would be 'Does selling the film of said act have a moral implication?'
Not to my moral system, but it does to others since it could be viewed as a sort of prostitution. Still, I'd like to see your point of view on it - if you think it is suitably on topic.
