Circular logic.
Surprise, surprise. Teenagers, who pledge to keep their viriginity, are more likely to engage in oral and anal sex, and are just likely to contract STDs! Teaching abstinence-only to teens may only lower the chance of them using protections during their first sexual experiences. And the defense by the abstinence-only group?Leslee Unruh, president of the National Abstinence Clearinghouse in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, called the study "bogus," disputing that those involved had pledged true "abstinence."
"Kids who pledge abstinence are taught that any word that has 'sex' in it is considered a sexual activity," Unruh said. "Therefore oral sex is sex, and they are staying away."
So let me get this straight, teens that pledge no-sex would stay away from any kind of sex, therefore anyone that had sex did not really pledge. What kind of circular argument is that?!
Oh, a second question, if the kids avoid anything that has sex in it, do they run away screaming whenever they enter a concert hall and see half a dozen jazz musicians on stage? You know, a sextet.
