07DAD, thank you for your reply. I agree that we should educate our youngsters about sex. However, while I believe we should educate teens about sex, I don’t think there is a need for them to have it. I understand that teens have a biological urge to have sex, which can be chalked up as an evolutionary instinct. This is only natural because their bodies are telling them to reproduce. Teens in this day and age have no business reproducing - not specifically sex…actually getting pregnant (IMHO…other cultures may disagree). As I mentioned, teens mostly have sex for the wrong reasons. As for those who have sex because they are in a “deep, committed relationship” (this seems to be an acceptable reason for most)…I don’t believe they are in one. How can a teen be in such a relationship…teens don’t even know what love is at that age. I worked during college with a clinical psychologist during specializing in adolescence and this is an issue that came up often.
