Teaching the young about sex

What are we teaching young people about sex? 

Too many parents have abdicated their roles as mentors to the young because their own experience has been painful.  They don't have the fortitude to counter the toxic societal message that casual sex is free, fun and only recreation.

Janice Shaw Crouse gives us some Straight Talk About Casual Sex

We cannot expect young people to act responsibly when adults - whose thinking is sometimes clouded by their rationalization of their own hurtful and toxic sexual experimentation - are irresponsible by not providing the best possible information to encourage self-discipline and self-control, which are the surest keys to young peoples' long-term well-being.

Her truths
1. Casual sex impairs the ability to establish a lasting emotional bond.
2. Casual sex leaves young people alone and lonely.
3. The "sexual revolution" has produced dramatic increases in sexually transmitted diseases.

She has the facts behind them.
