Up To 50 kids may be exposed to the AIDS

Waiting to have sex like Tuff is describing really seems to me to be a tad bit unrealistic.

See, it sounds like a great idea, right, but the thing is that sexual attraction is a very strong force. When you have a perfect, 36-24-36 (or in my case 36-24-40) girl in front of you, in her bra and panties, like "take your pants off" are you really gonna sit there and say, "nah, its safer for me not to, lets just watch a movie"?

Hell NO!!! you're gonna put on a condom and have lots of fun, and hopefully, end up with a great girlfriend who may end up being your wife one day. (Ideally, anyway.)

The notion of human error in condom use is a little weird to me too. Proper condom use is not rocket science. They even put INSTRUCTIONS on the damn box nowadays. INSTRUCTIONS for god's sake! As if i needed them before. Honestly, i knew how to use one properly when i was 13, before they even had the instructions; there were hundreds of websites, if you were serious enough to want to know how to be safe, that taught how to use a condom.

Seriously, if you're too stupid to use a condom the right way, i have a hard time understanding how you got laid in the first place. Maybe the girl was just as stupid. And if that's the case, then there's really nothing that can be done, because abstinence simply does not work.

Teaching kid’s abstinence is a foolish waste of time. A young couple, I am sure you remember being one if you still aren’t one, have racing hormones and “doing it” on the mind. I am not just referring to Banquo’s reference about boys, but also the teenage girls sitting behind my family at the movies this weekend as Zac took off his shirt during a scene of High School Musical 3. No bones about it they wanted to screw his brains out (made me miss my youth) but my point is that girls are every bit as into “doing it” at that age as guys, it just gets down-played and the horndog aspect of guys gets up-played. Promoting the use of condoms is the only real option. Admit that the horny kids are going to “do it” and give them what they need to avoid pregnancy and disease, while simultaneously teaching them to be respectful and considerate like a parent should already be doing.

Yes I did take the family to High School Musical 3.

well I have managed to control my raging hormones, actually I should say "I managed" because I'm 21 now and more or less out the other side. Yes, teenagers want to have sex, and yes a fair number will when quite young but the current attitude of "well they're going to do it anyway" is far too blarsae (sp?) for me. I'm all for safe sex and condom ussage but I think its worth teaching children that sex is more than just a fancy way to masturbate and it involves another person. At the same time you do take all kinds of risks when you have sex, no matter how small, and that should be acknowledged.

Apparently the freshers at my Uni this year were given a condom in the welcome pack this year. That pretty much assumes they'll be doing it in the first week with someone they've just met.

am I the only one who thinks there's something wrong there?

as to the original AIDS thing, anyone thought it might be someone piecing ears rather than lots of teen sex?

Every time the uni's send out mail here, a condom is included.

That's not realy an answer to my point.

In any case, you're Norse. You whole view of sexuality up there is very different to Britain.

[CrossLOPER]

That's not realy an answer to my point.

I think you're taking the gesture too literally.

Your point doesn't really matter, my reply was a little something I call "additional information"
