Despite an encouraging decline in teen pregnancy, the U.S. still lags woefully far behind the rest of the developed world when it comes to teenagers not really knowing how their reproductive organs work and consequently using contraception incorrectly (or not at all).
If premarital sex made the baby Jesus cry, he'd be a pretty hoarse, colic-y baby. Because evangelical teens, despite the fact that they're told day in and day out that bumping uglies before God says it's okay is wrong (like going to hell wrong) are having all kinds of secret sex with each other. And because of their…
What happens when a group of pro-abstinence college kids who are not untalented at making graphics but could use some advice when it comes to slogans (um, we all know JT brought sexy back in 2006) reject their parents' world of "sky-high rates of divorce, abortion, and STDs; a world bored with sex and bored with…
For your latest news in Everyone Being Surprised When Humans Don't Have Sex (Especially Pretty Ones) And Scandalized When Humans Have Sex (In General) Think Like A Man and Californication actress Meagan Good, who began dating her pastor fiancé DeVon Franklin last year, told Life & Style that she and Seventh Day…
This is going to come as very upsetting news to Republicans fighting tooth and nail to take sex education back into the stone ages, but a new survey has found that teenage girls these days are waiting longer to have sex, and when they do finally go for it, more of them are using the most effective kinds of…
What goes on in abstinence-only sex ed classes besides a whole lot of not talking about contraception? Slut shaming! At least, that's what's happening in one Boulder, Colorado middle school, where parents are questioning the merits of a demonstration where students were asked to spit food in glasses of water and then…
Hong Kong, the socially conservative southern Chinese metropolis, has a problem — none of its citizens seem especially eager to have sex, which is the result, say sexperts, of living in a crowded, expensive city where tiny, shared living spaces present all kinds of hurdles to uninhibited fucking.
New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention bears good news: in 2010, America's teen pregnancy rate was the lowest ever recorded. Experts credit a combination of birth control availability and abstinence, but I'm tempted to credit this statistical dip to my favorite form of contraception— good old…
Concerned that their precious children are not learning to be terrified enough about the deadly consequences of sexual intercourse, lawmakers in Tennessee have added language to their abstinence-only sex ed curriculum that warns students of the dangers of "gateway sexual activity" in a desperate effort to make sure…
The Utah House has passed a bill that would allow schools to stop teaching sex education classes altogether, and prohibit those rogue schools that do teach it from giving any instruction on the use of contraception. The bill is the work of Rep. Bill Wright, a Republican, and you'll never guess what inspired him to…
Many have suspected that not all Christian young people save themselves for marriage. Now there's data to prove it.
After years of sexual education that willfully denies the possibility that kids are going to have sex no matter what, some schools in Texas are starting to teach curriculums that information on contraception. This is partly because it isn't as cheap to yell, "Don't do it!" to teens as one might think, and there's less…
Starting this year, students in New York City will receive state-mandated sex education. That's a change from previous years, when kids had to learn about HIV but not necessarily sex per se.
What could make a low-budget comedy about abstinence even more awesome? Why, a creepy cameo by recovered prostitution customer Rev. Ted Haggard, that's what! We dare you to watch as Haggard stares into the lens after delivering his non-joke. If the movie's producers raise the $2 million they need to make a…
The Candie's Foundation's stated mission is "to educate America's youth about the devastating consequences of teen pregnancy through celebrity PSA campaigns and initiatives." But a close look at their 2009 tax forms shows that there's far more "celebrity" than "initiatives" involved. That year, the foundation paid…
A new study from the Guttmacher Institute indicates that of their many sources of sex education (some of it partial and inaccurate, of course), some teens disbelieve the Internet.
Teens are apparently getting it on less often than they used to — and while abstinence-only education may be a factor, it's not the whole story.
Disinvited from Washington University, Bristol Palin now apparently wants to take her abstinence message to UC Irvine. She will not be stopped until she has ended the scourge that is college sex once and for all!
Washington University in St. Louis is bringing in none other than Bristol Palin as the keynote speaker for its Sex Week, in an effort to make the event friendlier to students who aren't having sex.
