Horny teens evaluated in new UW study
RADICAL new research from a recent University of Washington study found that educational programs do indeed affect youth pregancy rates but that those same youths were undeterred from their primal, pubecent, sexual urges. This comes as little surprise to anyone who has ever been a teenager.
I personally feel that the best way to discourage teen sexual activity, or at the very least encourage proper use of contraceptives is to subject teens to the God-awful STD sideshow they made my generation watch. The Bruce still has nightmares.
Well, at least sex-ed is a step in the right direction. One can’t hope to legislate morality, though it happens all the time. These programs may be our best chance to keep the up-and-coming philanderers from replicating.
Sterilization is out, as is rubber-banding. The STD sideshow of which The Bruce speaks might be the next best thing. The key to a clean bill of health is mortal fear, it would seem.
I, too, am haunted by the memories… but I can’t say it didn’t work.

I occasionally look up “genital warts” and “herpes” on the google picture search just for this purpose. That girl with the big ears might not be worth it after all…
