The New York Times posted a really interesting article on 11/16 about the way sexuality is taught in schools (Teaching Good Sex, by Laurie Abraham). Primarily, the article dealt with the way the subject is handled by a private school in Philadelphia. This particular program doesn’t shy away from the tough questions that can accompany such a subject. Instead of just talking about safety, they discuss pleasure, personal rights, communication, and even explore the insecurities that plague so many of us, even into adulthood. I was really impressed with the piece and recommend it highly. I think we’re a long way from being able to do something like this in public schools, but it would be great if we could at least begin having the discussion.
Great Article on Sex Education
Finding Truth 
Enjoyed this article. I personally am a bit torn. While I want to encourage my son to wait till marriage before entering into a sexual relationship for a number of reasons I realize there are plenty of folks that are not raising their children that way. Also I realize that I was rasied with this view of abstinence and still had premarital sex. Teenagers and hormones you know, luckly my expereinces were with my now wife. I can see the benifits of a class like this even though I might not like a lot of what it teaches. Thought provoking for sure.
