Abstinence-only Sexual Education

See, I knew he was practicing abstinence while wanting something more. . .

And he's like, 'I paid for the full hour, you've only been here for 15 minutes,'
and then he came back in the room. And I started dancing and that's when
he, you know, touched me and tried to get on me and that's when I pushed him away."

Two hours before Cho chained shut three public entrances to Norris Hall and started his rampage there, he gunned down his first two victims in a dormitory across campus. In between, a package was mailed to NBC containing Cho's videotaped tirade and written manifesto about rich "brats" and their "hedonistic needs."

Wow, from what I hear a lot of you have been mislead

Wear a condom and you're good to go. Of course, there is always a risk, but that goes with anything.

I've never had a cold sore either though. Lucky I guess?

There was a case of herpies, spread by simply touching the infected spot. And almost all the highschool wrestlers were infected in MN last year. It was hilarious, because the swim team and the wrestling team always rip on each other. So it was a really good win for the simmers, being able to say that the wrestling team got herpies from wrestling around with other guys. =) Funny couple of weeks. (It was only a case of temp herpies.)

There is no such thing as temporary herpes. You are now a poster child for the poor quality of sex-ed in America.

MUST I dig up the newspaper article to prove it to you?

It was a case of herpies, that was treated and was completely gone in a few weeks.

And this had nothing to do with sex. It was a transmitted simply by touching each other. You are now a poster child for the poor quality of educational reading in America.

Actually Fred, herpes is a virus. You can't 'cure' a virus.

Also Fred, finals are over for me! Your bag will be done this weekend

sorry fred, we dont accept facts here, only unproven opinions.

unless your facts are incorrect, i can accept that.

Although certain therapies can prevent outbreaks or reduce the risk of transmission to partners, no cure is yet available.

The Department of Health and Human Services Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

There is no treatment that can cure herpes.

An interesting little article I just read...

Not really trying to comment on this latest discussion, just thought it was an interesting tangent to this little debate.

http://www.livescience.com/health/07051 ... pside.html

The herpes family of viruses can have a surprising upside--it can protect against the bubonic plague and other bacterial contagions, at least in mice.

Research into whether a similar mechanism applies to humans and other mammalian hosts should be conducted, said viral immunologist Skip Virgin at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "There may be symbiotic advantages to chronic infections with these viruses."

These new results do not mean people should go out and get infected with herpes, Virgin stressed. They probably already are. Nearly all humans become infected with multiple herpes virus family members during childhood. These germs not only include the herpes simplex viruses, which lead to cold sores and possibly genital herpes, but also the diseases responsible for chickenpox and "mono," as well as several less well-known ailments. Herpes infections have bedeviled animals for more than 100 million years.

After the initial period of infection, these viruses enter a dormant state known as latency. Many lurk for the lifetime of their hosts "as permanent passengers" without causing overt symptoms, Virgin said.

Virgin and his colleagues experimented with viruses highly similar genetically to ones that cause mono and other diseases in humans. These germs normally cause fatigue and ruffled fur in mice, although the researchers used dose levels too low to cause symptoms.

The scientists discovered latent infections with these viruses could protect mice from bacterial infections, including Yersinia pestis, which causes bubonic plague, and Listeria monocytogenes, which causes one kind of food poisoning, findings detailed in the May 17 issue of the journal Nature.

The herpes viruses spur the immune system to boost levels of a protein hormone called interferon gamma "that in effect puts some immune system soldiers on yellow alert, causing them to patrol for invaders with their eyes wide open and defense weapons ready," Virgin said. As a result, the bacteria grew more slowly and were less likely to kill the mice. Future research can investigate whether these latent infections protect against other viruses.

Still, while people might benefit from symbiotic relationships with the herpes family of viruses, they can also have serious consequences, such as deafness, blindness, encephalitis and cancer.

"The presence of these viruses seems to be a two-edged sword," Virgin told LiveScience. "I am quite concerned that we be sensitive to these true human tragedies while recognizing the potential of a new way to view these infections."

Uncovering any potential benefits of these viruses in humans will prove hard, Virgin cautioned, "since nearly all humans are infected with these viruses at a young age, so it will be hard to find people without them for comparison."

oo ooo.. I remember back to sex-ed.. Too bad the only things I really remember are: 1, "Penis" *pause* *laughter* < The first day, it was funny I guess.. and 2, "ONE in THREE college students have an STD" All I can say is that teenagers are naturally rebellious.. Example: mom "Go clean your room." Did you ever? Example: commercials "Don't drink and drive, drink responsibly." Do you know one person that has ever been drunk and done anything mildly responsible? The answer is, most of the time, no. Here is my final example, and my final thoughts on abstinence-based sex ed.. teacher "Don't have sex, if you do, wear a condom." There's two things they did wrong in that one sentence. One, dont have sex, in teen terms, get busy! Two, wear a condom.. you get the point.
