SEX.....Abstinence.....bullshit

Today I picked up a paper from the news-stand. One particular article caught my eye. For international readers, this is a singapore paper. So the headline reads smth about are teenagers getting bolder these days followed by numerous voyeuristic shots of couples making, frenching and petting in public.

On the other side of the paper, it showed the stand of 6 external sexual education companies, their take on current teenagers behavior. They talk about teenagers now is different compared to teens 15 years ago, where internet and tv were not rampant and making out in public is not a big deal as shown on drama serials or movies.

Having said that, several sex education vendors would promote abstinence from premarital sex. I think it is rather absurd to promote such things in this era. We must be realistic as teens are having sex early and teaching abstinence is irrelevant to the group.

And some vendors say its time we deal with reality to educate students on how to use condoms, deal with internet pornography and cyber relationship.

All I can say HEY! the reality is we all have steriod hormones in our body called TESTOSTERONE.

To those educators, do u think that people living thousand of years ago has not practiced on abstinence, do u think that having sex before marriage is considered one of the seven deadly sins to certain religion. Why are people whose religion who says having premarital sex is bad. But why are people still doing it?! From Medieval age to Victorian era and Dynasty to dynasty.

Its because most if not all human species have hormones! And when it rages, it will cripple one side of our brain which is essential for logic and judgment. I'm not saying that sex education vendors will not be successful in preaching abstinence but now? really? I think the effect will not make a huge impact on the student population.

It's quite a joke for them to say it's time we deal with reality. You mean last time the sex education we've gone through are fictional happy ever after? No wonder abortions went up from 11,933 in 2007 to 12,222 in 2009.

The only way to stop unwanted teen pregnancies is to remove all testosterone once a baby is born, which unfortunately is impossible. In this case, unwanted teen pregnancies are here to stay! AND abstinence from sex till marriage for ALL to follow is filling up a fishing net with water, effortlessly futile!

It all boils down to self control
