As a "consumer" who was sold "sexual choice," I would like to let you know that premarital sex today is not the "product" it's been advertised to be.
My generation would better benefit from being taught the cost versus benefit of these life-affecting choices, rather than be subject to a political agenda that assumes that all young people will choose to have sex and all they need is contraceptive information. Knowledge of contraceptives is important, but it's more important to know that the sexual choices made today can affect young people their entire lives.
In all honesty, can anyone truly say that their lives were better off because they engaged in sex early and often? I just wonder how many people who have led active, promiscuous sex lives regret that choice as compared to the people who lived chaste lifestyles? How many people who have decided to live monogamous lifestyles have had to deal with issues like HPV, HIV, abortions, STD's? And I haven't even mentioned the emotional trauma of being used sexually.
Yet we still have this group of people who insist on instructing kids to "do what they're going to do anyway".
As I've always contended, it's like telling a kid that it's OK to smoke as long as the cigarettes have filters. Or It's OK to do drugs as long as they are made safely by pharmaceutical companies.
I'll never get it.
