Oral sex lessons to cut rates of teenage pregnancy;

Pupils under 16 who were taught to consider other forms of 'intimacy' such as oral sex were significantly less likely to engage in full intercourse, it was revealed.


Can we feel a violent "erosion of our family values" etc etc type backlash coming?

This story had 3 times the next rated story Media outlets won't show beheading video I suspect because the headline makes the content moot.

Of course, a certain amount of guilty curiosity about how the subject is taught. Do you think they use those medical sketches they showed us in school or just send the whole class round the back of the bike sheds with a porn video and some hankies?

They say death sells and "if it bleeds it leads" but clearly teen sex trumps that card.

I forgot that my folks read this blog...
