Comment on Love by Fruit Taster

Good thoughts all around! One of the issues with love is that people often mistake or misinterpret what they feel as being love. The most common one is that the butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling is Love, and that once this feeling is gone, that means you don’t love the person anymore. It takes maturity and a willingness to dig deeper to find more profound, more meaningful, and more durable definitions of love. Otherwise you become a serial dater.

Thank you for your insightful comments, Kristin! I particularly appreciate the way you balance religious beliefs with empowering and educating youth. Your idea for a follow-up article is excellent and I have added it to my list of topics!

Teaching about contraception was not associated with increased risk of adolescent sexual activity or STD. Adolescents who received comprehensive sex education had a lower risk of pregnancy than adolescents who received abstinence-only or no sex education.

Abstinence-only education did not reduce the likelihood of engaging in vaginal intercourse (OR(adj) = .8, 95% CI = .51-1.31, p = .40), but comprehensive sex education was marginally associated with a lower likelihood of reporting having engaged in vaginal intercourse (OR(adj) = .7, 95% CI = .49-1.02, p = .06).

The question from the pro-abstinence perspective is if sex ed causes more sex. I learned about drugs in school and it didn’t teach me to go out and do them. If I did though, I would know about clean needles and which drugs are more addictive than others. It doesn’t have to be a debate of pro-premarital sex vs. anti-premarital sex. I think compiling some research about sex ed not causing more kids to have sex would make for a great follow up article.

The fact is that learning harm reduction strategies are not a free pass to let go of your own personal morals and values. All Christians stray from their belief of the righteous path, sexuality related or not, at points in their lives. Putting youth who fall off their path in harms way is not a religious virtue. I think there is room in the lives of people who have religious beliefs surrounding sexuality for both absence education and sex education.
