Sex Ed Works

More good news that sex education works! Not abstinence only education, but real, live sex education can indeed stop teenagers dead in their tracks. Sex rocks! Sex rules! But first you should know what you’re doing before you do something that gives you some sumptin’, sumptin’ (like an STI or a baby). Cause that sumptin’ is some thing you may regret for the rest of your life.

Here are three recent findings from a study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health:

Males who received sex education didn’t have as much sexual intercourse as those who had no sex ed.

Approximately 71% of boys and 59% of girls who were taught about the birds and the bees postponed sexual intercourse longer, until at least age 15.

Males who were taught about contraception were 2.77 more likely to use birth control the first time they did it.

Sure, it’s statistics, and it’s not perfect, but it’s better to put these type of statistics in the bag, then not to bag it at all. And one of my favorite bags is Crown.
