Why are people talking about oral sex like it's "safe sex"?
I'd say we're not done with the sex education
True Yanari, its not safe. I was just making a sophmoric joke about the fact that promoting people to practice oral sex is a good thing.
If i had to be serious; i would say you would have to try to provide teen agers with a source in which they can get unbiased, unfiltered information about sex that is accurate. Not just what they heard from friend or saw in a movie or on internet.
Maybe promote internet sites or other methods in which teens can ask questions and get feedback from health professionals about sex with complete anonymity ensured so they feel free to ask the questions.
Also showing graphic videos kinda like the dont drink and drive horror videos about STD's would scare children into condoms. And as trickybeck mentioned creating an atmosphere where condoms are looked upon as the "norm".
In the end your never gonna find a complete solution to the problem. Also the situation will evolve and change over time, how it should be tackled in 2004 and 2014 is gonna be different.
But as i posted earlier, the whole abstaining from sex and ignoring everything else is a poor method of dealing with it. I think that putting the fact that abstaining is the 100% way to be safe is very good to mention but i also think that ignoring educating children about sexual health will exacerbate the problem.
There is no easy solution, but we cant just go with the crackpot, not gonna work solution just because there has not been a "perfect" solution presented.
