Is that it? Are we honestly scared of the slope being that slippery?
Just like violence, eating habits, drug use, or really anything that could have a big influence on a person's life, sex needs to be handled realistically and carefully. Sweeping it under the rug isn't doing that. If it were, abstinence-educated kids wouldn't have hilariously higher rates of pregnancy than those realistically educated in what sex is. I think we'd agree promiscuity shouldn't be glorified, but sex in general? That's a different story.
