Didn't think of that Warren, good point.

My point was not thinking that they are going to teach 5 year old to shag FFS it was stating that they should be looking to educate young teenagers about sex in a more detailed manner in school.

I do work for local authorities creating publications for teenagers about safe sex, from the group meeting with young teenage mums, it shocked me that the majority of them knew sod all about how you can get pregnant and relied on a load of myths and had little knowledge of std's etc.

Some of the stuff they believed was crazy, for example you can't get preggers if:
Your standing up during
You shower afterwards
it's your first time

The list goes on, and they though that sti's could only be caught of prostitutes and tramps.

This is material designed for clinics, youth centers etc, but really, this stuff should be compulsory in schools so that EVERY child is aware
