Like the most obvious: birth control. Duh. Why do people still believe that merely talking about birth control will lead people to the conclusion that they should be out using it? It seems our HHS buddies assume we’re all just a bunch of sheep, that whatever they tell us to do, we’ll do, be it using birth control (and thus, having sex) or not having sex at all.
You’ve gotta cut them some slack though. Because everybody knows that just talking about things like condoms and birth control pills gets the kids all riled up, it makes ‘em horny as hell. Whew! I know nothing got me all worked up pre-twenty-nine like a rousing lecture on condoms. And certainly nothing made me want to go out and get laid more than a hearty discussion about birth control pills.
Come on. Does anyone else find it just the tiniest bit insulting that our government is trying to shove every alternative besides abstinence under a big, proverbial, shaggy rug? And all while wearing a great big smile on their faces while they tout the benefits of the Virginity Pledge. Kind of makes you wonder: is it the Department of Health and Human Services that’s behind this program or is it really a bunch of Stepford Wives?
But I’ll play along, just for fun. Let’s say that a large percentage of under-twenty nine-year olds stop having sex. What happens when these poor, inexperienced souls eventually get married and haven’t the slightest clue as to how to put on a condom? Or they have no idea what days during a woman’s cycle are best (or worst, depending on your goals) if they’re trying to get pregnant? Where do these people learn about birth control other than reading some random article online? If we keep ignoring birth control education in our schools, people will just keep getting their information from the same places they’ve always gotten it. And correct me if I’m wrong, but that doesn’t seem to be working all that well, otherwise our leaders wouldn’t have deemed it necessary to have this abstinence-only business in the first place.
