"Far from promoting teenage sex, it is designed to encourage young people to delay losing their virginity <b>until they are sure they will enjoy the experience</b>," he said."<br />(my emphasis)<br /><br />So don't just go out and behave promiscuously; wait till you know you'll enjoy it, <i>then</i> behave promiscuously. Am I the only one who does not see a great deal of difference between the two?<br /><br />"But some educators said the pamphlet would lead to more casual sex among teens."<br /><br />Well, that's something, I suppose.Cardinal Polehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606972767215157799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632463161266737914.post-7474350867993674512009-07-15T02:34:16.179+10:002009-07-15T02:34:16.179+10:00Thanks for your comments, Louise and Matthias.
