Many who pledge abstinence at risk for STDs

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7232643/

"...The latest study, published in the April issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, found that teens pledging virginity until marriage are more likely to have oral and anal sex than other teens who have not had intercourse. That behavior, however, “puts you at risk,” said Hannah Brueckner, assistant professor of sociology at Yale and one of the study’s authors.

Among virgins, boys who have pledged abstinence were four times more likely to have had anal sex, according to the study. Overall, pledgers were six times more likely to have oral sex than teens who have remained abstinent but not as part of a pledge..."

2. They better be getting two strong doses of sex education!! One in

public school on disease and one when they are 14 about all sorts of details. Pledges are absolutely no excuse to not educate a child about disease.

Shit women get uterine cancer at 35 from one STD. Aids will kill you at 25 if you get it young. If the schools do not teach them..the schools should be sued.

5. DEAD Wrong!

You can contract STD through oral sex!

If your partner "Has been around the block a few times", and you're a Virgin, you can contract STD if you perform oral sex on your partner.

Go check out you friendly neighborhood sex shops. They most likely will have oral dams for sale to prevent transmission of assorted diseases. Some of the diseases can be fatal.

Like AIDS, for instance.

Oh, yeah. Ignorance, while bliss, can kill.
