For Christians on this board - what is the religious conflict with urging your kids to remain abstinent but also telling them that should have have a failure of willpower (as humans are prone to do) that they should always take measures to protect their health and future by using a contraceptive (whatever that might be).
Well I'm a Christian, and I think I said how I'd handle it. I wouldn't see it as a conflict in teaching them safe sex, but I would not teaching
that the choice to have sex or not before marriage is an equal one. I'd teach them it's wrong, and they should know they are doing wrong IF they decided to do it, and at the same time, I wouldn't just limit the discussion to what is wrong, but what would be best for them. Why I would think marriage should be the ultimate station to get your freak on in. Again, most folks wouldn't go there, but I'm prepared to.
It sounds like some, particularly those who don't have kids, have a misconception about what "sex education" really involves. Contraception is a very small part of sex education. It's more about values, decision making, intimacy, and relationships. It's not simply a matter of telling a kid to wait for marriage to have sex, or teaching a kid how to use a condom.
Beach, I agree with you in part, but how often does that conversation really take place in homes - even amongst non-religious people? Most parents get wierded out when it comes to "the discussion", and many try to pass it on to the other partner "you tell them, no YOU tell them".
and her mouth cannot get pregnant. It's that simple.
. I'd pay money to be in on that convo!!!
For that one 240, if you have kids they will be ALL girls!!!! lol!
