no, it's usually because religion gets interjected.

That's what I meant to say. Those other words just blurted out from somewhere. :o)

And this is a shame, because it's really easy and quite appropriate to educate young people within a religious framework.

The difficulty is that there are many religious frameworks. Sex education in the schools comes into conflict with some of them. The worst conflict occurs when parents insist that sex education occur in the home under their religious framework. Which sounds good, even desirable, but it usually means the kids learn sex education behind the garage looking at dirty mags. At least that's what we did when I was a kid. I think today they go into the school restrooms and watch their friends have sex and record it on their cell phones for later review.

Throw into the mix, the Cosmopolitans, et al, that are in the grocery check out line touting the best new sex tricks you've never heard of; or the commercials that are really selling sex as the attraction of the product in question, e.g., have you seen the one for hair color on the guys beard where he gets tackled by some babe; TV, the movies ... I'm sounding "old" aren't I?
