This question is timely for me, as I recently watched the 2010 documentary Let's Talk About Sex, which, "takes a revealing look at how American attitudes towards adolescent sexuality affect today’s teenagers." The film examines how American society's attitudes toward sex–and specifically sex education–are hurting our young adults.

It seems to me that abstinence is unrealistic.

I am very much in favor of teaching abstinence

It depends on the goal

I thoroughly believe teaching safe sex is far more effective than teaching abstinence.
