There is only one way to prevent aids, SDS to say nothing of the heavy emotional toll after a breakup ... and that is NOT to have sex outside a marital relationship. That's what needs to be hammered into the skull. It's simple science.

You don't teach kids to jump out of high trees, off tall bridges or take on the morals of a bed-hopper. Promiscuous sex focuses the individual not only away from education at a crucial age; it encourages an emotional rollercoaster that has no structure. It fosters unwanted pregnancies and various sexually-transmitted diseases. There are a ton of negatives and few positives.

Not that preventative measures should not be taught, but the emphasis be on the good side of saving sex until marriage should as the target. It's the glue that holds a marriage together. It's strictly a biology lesson - it has to be made real.

Preventative methods need to be taught, but directional emphasis needs to be hammered home! Abstinence-only programs and a lack of discussion about birth control methods is one-sided foolishness. At the same token, you don't teach drivers education without insisting the student stop at stop signs. There are certain rules to be emphasized and observed.

All the science of good sex education should be taught but let's get real about the risks. You're never going to stop the Aids epidemic by passing out rubbers in Africa. Let's get real and tell the kids: one man, one woman and no outside sex is the only safe sex.

Our kids should not be lied to about the joy without consequence of having multiple partners, pursuing alternative lifestyles and pushing the envelope in the sexual arena. The blatant perverse use of the powerful sex drive to sell music, consumer goods and ideas can be exposed as the subtle hype trigger it is.

Sex is a lot like atomic energy - it should not be used indiscriminately, but rather in a safe, controlled environment.
