    I would argue that there are certain types of people that will forcefully shoot down sexual urges and never masturbate. The devout.. stuff like that. Then people with actual weird developmental psychiatric problems or maybe rape victims.

    That's just nonsense. No one is actually stupid enough not to know the consequences of sex. Education has literally no connection to the topic, because even if schools don't teach it (and they do, a lot) society does. All over the place.

    Sex education is almost universal in US schools but its content varies. Most schools teach abstinence and give basic info on STDs, while birth control and how to access STD and contraceptive services are taught less often. Parents are scared to do it, teachers are restricted, and you think that society does a good job?

    The Netherlands has the lowest abortion rate in the world. Good sex education is one of the reasons why.

    Education in the sense you describe might as well be product placement for Trojan. As it stands people are informed by schools as to the mechanics of sexual reproduction. Including the consequences. It's really not hard to grasp (HA! TWSS), and the only reason that people would cite 'lack of education' as a reason for unplanned pregnancy is as an excuse.

    That's just nonsense (he... he). Properly educating teens on which forms of birth control are there and how to properly use them isn't product placement. DRIVERS ED IS PRODUCT PLACEMENT FORE DODGE!!!

    Countries with lack of education seem to have a far higher birth rate then ones with a vast amount of education, one can concluded they intersect.

    NAH MAN, IT TELLS ME TO DRIVE MY FORDS.

    In school, I haven't had too much sex education, the only thing I can remember are a lesson on how to put on a condom in biology (although I was never really paying attention anyway), and a giant fuss about some non profit organisation that built a single school in Africa, jumped around a bit and returned like they saved the entire fucking continent.

    Same here, sans the Africa bit. Sex is not complicated.

    What more would you ask of sex ed than explaining what sexual reproduction is, what its consequences are, and the life impacts that it can have?

    Plants are alive, better start eating rocks, vegans! No wait, there are bacteria on them, they're sort of living as well...

    Witty... but seriously, taking the life of something, that will one day be a full human, at conception is akin to killing them when they are 20 or 30 or 40 or any age.

    The same still goes for plants, but then it's okay. Really, just meaning something's alive doesn't really mean anything in and of itself.

    I saw a video that perfectly addresses the thing you just said.

    EDIT: Found it.


    I'm posting this because I already addressed this nonsense in one of my previous posts.

    Your life was worth just as much when you were conceived as it is now. Sperm are reproduced. Human embryos are not, they are one of a kind. You take it away, you take away one of a kind.

    Not really. You compare a clump of cells to 26 years of life experience. My post to you still stands.

    Embryos are reproduced to. That's why its called reproduction. Sperm is unique to, if it wasn't we would all be clones.
