Karen, I think the Dutch have possibly the best record here. Sex education is open and detailed, at school as well as home; condoms and other contraception are readily available; and the result, in a society historically rather open and accepting of sex (in many varieties) is the lowest rate of teenage pregnancy in Europe, as well as very low STD rates etc. Here's a couple of links: news.bbc.co.uk news.bbc.co.uk Of course, the Netherlands is (IMHO) one of the most admirably civilised countries in the world; multilingual, modern, mercantile capitalist but socially very liberal, stable and prosperous... very good. As for these definitions of 'illicit' sex - does that mean I've never had licit sex? I've never slept with a woman who was married (AFAIK), nor even in a steady relationship with another man, everything's been consenting and voluntary (understatement <g>)... so I'd hardly define my last ~17 years as illicit. Although possibly indecent at times.
