Contrary to popular belief, feminism isn't about having women live a particular way. Feminism is about people being able to choose whatever life they want. That people are free to live a reactionary life if they so please, as long as they choose that life for themselves, and that they did have other options for their lives.

This also applies to the sexual arena. Peoples needs and urges are different, there is no doubt about that. Some people want lots of sex, some people want less. Some people are perfectly fine with one night stands, others want to keep it within a relationship. That's all good, they should all feel free to choose what they want for themselves. Peoples boundaries are different, and we need to respect those boundaries. Having sex without really wanting it is dreadful, it will cause all kinds of problems.

However, I do not believe that we should teach abstinence. I do not believe that less sex among teenagers is a goal at all, I believe sex is healthy and good for you, period. I believe we should teach the positives. And, we should teach people about respect for other peoples boundaries. The two go hand in hand IMO, sex is only good when it's done with respect for each other. Nobody should force, and nobody should feel forced.
