Anyway, anyone who doesn't think Absistence education doesn't work, is as dumb as people who WANT abistence ONLY education.

Absitence education is the most successful education.  It's just not perfect.  Hence why you want to teach ways to safeguard vs those still stupid enough to go through with it at a young age.

Abstinence education is like saying to people don't do drugs...

The vast majority of people aren't born with a drug addiction, but nearly all people will naturally experience sexual arousal. So no, it's not like saying to people don't do drugs at all.

There's a scene in the first episode of The West Wing, in which Toby is in a meeting involving some religious people. One of those people says "Show a teenage boy a condom, and his mind will turn to lust", to which Toby responds "Show the average teenage boy a lug-rench and his mind will turn to lust". There is simply no analogy with drugs.
