Does Abstinence Only Work?

I'm not busting your chops or anything joepole. I enjoy reading your posts. But the original story was on school age students and abstinence. Not to many extramarital affairs going on in junior high. As for porn, what couples do in their bedroom is their own business. But we don't want to teach porn in schools now do we?

Just trying to keep my posts ON TOPIC in the hope of doing my part of raising the level of discussion on this board which I like.

The girls keep mentioning the affairs and the porn (and my opinions from other, older discussions) so I thought I'd reply.

np, I don't mean to be the board police or anything. At times, "Abstinence only" does seem to an unrealistic approach in today's society IMHO. It's just not a consistent message where other messages bombard our children everyday on TV, Internet, etc. I don't have the answer other than to raise my kids to be conservative and uptight about sex just like my ancestors before me.
