Sex Ed for the youngsters

I've just read an article regarding Nadine Dorries' (MP) insistence that girls should be taught to say 'no' to sex. I very much agree with this but I also think boys should be taught this too. Not only is it quite the cosmopolitan world out there but anyone being taught Sex Ed is usually underage and should therefore be taught how wrong it is for them at that age, not just how to make it safe.

I also read that the girls are taught how to put a condom onto a banana. We never had that at school. Thank God - why would I want to touch that slimy little critter? I'm 25 and still don't want to. My rule is: if the guy wants sex, he can put it on himself.

There is too much sex advertised to these kids. You can't watch any of the soaps without seeing it displayed in one way or another. Rosie Webster from Coronation Street is a prime example. She was still a schoolgirl when they started pimping her to the nation. It's very disturbing and terribly the wrong message to be sending to its young, impressionable viewers.

Surely there is a better way to tell the kids not to have sex till they're old enough...?

To quote Coach Carr from Mean Girls: "Don't have sex because you will get pregnant...and die!"
