From the British Medical Journal: Abstinence-only programmes don't work. Can I get a "no shit," over here? For that matter, can I get you to spread the word? (I almost wrote "If you're reading this right now, and oppose STIs and unplanned pregnancies, repost this link in your journal.")

That's about all I have to say over here. It's nearly my vacation time: I'll be in Colorado from the 5th to the 11th, and San Diego from the 13th to the 18th. Food?

I don't think I'd want to sit in on one, but what the heck goes on in an abstinence only class? It takes something less than 30 seconds to say "sex is bad, don't do it", what's the rest of the class time spent on? Watching horrifying videos of the results of sex? Learning about the benefits and sanctity of marriage?

Maybe they spend some time telling you that condoms don't work.

Also they probably go over the same stuff as a comprehensive program on "Hey, ever wonder how babies get made? NOW YOU KNOW. All right, get over your giggling. Okay, moving on..."
