I don’t have a problem with it at all, and I’m pretty sure Wendie doesn’t either, it’s just that it’s confusing because it’s like, “Oh, she’s promoting abstinence…wait…I think? What?”

This is just crazy. Sex is important and healthy, women should be encouranged to embrace and enjoy it – this involves getting informed about how your bits work and how to get them working for you.

You can have great sex without getting pregnant or catching an STD! I’m starting my own group- ‘Women for better sex’.

Someone needs to carpet bomb Bristol Palin’s house with condom packets.

i agree with coral’s post. of course abstinence is the safest form of STD prevention/birth control. some people can practice abstinence, and some can’t, which is why contraception education is so important. what’s wrong with talking about both? i see no contradiction in that.

I think Bristol Palin is the poster child for what happens when you stress abstinence over good sex education. Trying to make teenagers repress their powerful, natural sex drives makes as much sense as preaching abstinence to adults.

If the people pushing abstinence were also promoting sexual techniques that don’t get you pregnant or STDs, like masturbation, oral sex with condoms, etc., I might think it was worthwhile. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt they are doing that; it would make too much sense.

Hayden didn’t say she’s abstaining though, did she? She just said be smart and educate yourself.

I think it is more along the lines that we can all pretty much assume Hayden is not abstaining from sex. Unlike Bristol, who may have something to talk about with her experience of teen pregnancy, I don’t really see the point of Hayden talking to me about abstaining, when she doesn’t do it herself (most likely!).

I do think it’s a subject we need to talk about more, I don’t think abstinence only education is correct in any way, I think people need to be educated and learn safe sex practices. I guess I just can’t take her seriously telling me to remain abstinent.

ok, ok, I know this is gonna sound pretty shallow and it’s an important and serious subject and blahblah, but what the hell is Panini wearing? She looks like a 35-year old…and those rolled up sleaves…oh my… she is a great example though if you want to know how you shouldn’t wear your clothes.

I like the fact that these young women are making it a point to talk about sex. It really isn’t talked about nearly enough and the fact that these very young girls (19 year old’s?) are willing to do so is empowering. I don’t see anything wrong with Hayden’s quote.. She means, Abstinence is the best choice but if you are going to have sex then use protection and educate yourself, whats wrong with that?
