The study above seemed to suggest otherwise, but what your missing is that abstinience education is the base that starts off keeping things down. To use another, sillier example. Absitence education is like telling people that snakes are dangererous. While condom education is snake handling lessons. That snakes are dangerous are enough to dissuade most people from handling snakes... while snake handling lessons helps more people... and nothing really helps others. |
People don't have a natural and extremely powerful biological urge to play with snakes. It's not a very good example at all. People simply want to have sex - their body tells them to and the combined might of the media tells them to. A teacher telling them not to doesn't seem to work according to the majority of studies.
