Sex education and religion, can we all agree?

Question

That abstinence is not the solution, after all, look at what happened to Mary?

Answer 1

I'm laughing so hard I can barely type.

How utterly irreverent...and yet absolutely hilarious. Your question hit me like a Mack truck, I did NOT see that coming. Thanks for the laugh.

And for the record, when you look at it that way, you're right, lol.

Answer 2

Abstinence is not the solution. I know way too many parents who avoid even speaking about sex with their kids other than to say "Wait till you're married". Most of the kids don't even know anything about sex (other than how to do it) and usually are the one's that end up in more trouble than those kids whose parents talk to them about how to be responsible about it.

ROFL!!! First time I've ever laughed so hard at a question that I wore my backspace key down to a nub.

Thanks for the laugh *wink*

Answer 3

There is nothing wrong with abstinence as long as you don't drill it into your kids that sex is bad and be afraid of it. When my daughter is old enough to go on her first date I plan and having a VERY frank discussion about sex and how it is natural but that waiting is best. I waited and I turned out ok.

Answer 4

abstinence is the solution the only reason virgin mary conceived was because she was fulfilling prophecy from the old testament and God couldn't use a touched woman(not a virgin) to conceive His Son because then the world would call them nuts...... and back to the point if all single people were abstinent then we wouldn't have to worry about the father taking care of the baby, who's your baby daddy and we wouldn't have a problem with the amount of sexually transmitted diseases

Answer 5

USA - reliant in great part on abstinence; large parts of the population hostilt to open sex education and CERTAINLY to available contraception. Result - enormous teenage pregnancy problem and abortion rates.

Netherlands - dependent mostly on open, honest sex education, availability of contraception where needed. Result - much lower incidence not only of pregnancy and abortion, but of pre-teen sexual contact of any kind.

Draw your own conclusions.

Answer 6

Abstinence is *a* solution, just like abortion. It's really 6 of one, half dozen of the other if you look at it right!

Answer 7

Sex education can be found in many verses of The Bible, its really horrible thing to read to your children have a good look at many sections its a great book for Hue... heff that is! lol

Answer 8

With all the sex education we've had in our public school system for the last thirty years, teen pregnancy rates continue to rise. How simple does it have to get? They're obviously not getting it. Abstinence is one sure way of guaranteeing no unwanted pregnancy, or STD.

Answer 9

as long as that's age appropriate I have not any actual problems with intercourse-ed. regardless of ways a toddler is raised, or who his/her father and mom take place to be... temptations are TEMPTING; i.e. human beings decide for to do them. information on my own (e.g. abstinence purely education) does not supply somebody the required power to stand up to temptation. you should strengthen a guy or woman's character, self-accountablity, very own accountability, etc. To this end: Explaining the outcomes that intercourse can bring about toddlers or illness(particularly obtrusive till you're a tween/youngster) and what which ability to the girl and her destiny, the boy and his destiny... those warnings and cautions can help. ideally all toddlers will wait till they're married to start living sexual lives. This (regrettably) infrequently happens. So can we bury our heads interior the sand and forget approximately with regard to the subject, or can we talk with our young ones? I vote for option #2 - communication with my toddler approximately sexuality and its place interior the human situation and how it replaced into meant via God for use. intercourse isn't evil individuals - it needs for use accurately; i.e. interior of a marriage blessed via God.

Answer 10

You know, this may not set well with my fellow theists, but the more I was told as a young boy that pre-marital sex was a sin against God, the hornier I progressively got. So much so that I reproduced 3 times-- before I was 16 years old!!! (twice with one girl, once with another).

If they had not told me this stuff, chances are it never would've caught my attention so strongly.

Answer 11

while abstinence is a way to practice, X//D or not practice safe sex, its not gonna werk to just tell kids not to have sex an not educate them about sex ♥
