Let's Talk About Sex-

Or lack thereof. well, more accurately, the abstinance movement currently ruining millions of young people all over the world, forced to make a promise to god that their young bodies are all too likely to break for them, and when their will slips, it's ever more likely that they won't use a condom, not knowing how bad things can get not using one until afterwards. Thankfully, my antipodean education involved lots of "use a fucking rubber or you won't get a fuck", in not so many words, and for most of the youths who actually paid attention in class, it makes sense that when it's not on, it's not on. It won't stop teenage pregnancy or AIDS (there's just too many dropkicks to prevent it), but it can at least slow it down to the point where it is not such a critical issue, less likely to trap people in "the poverty cycle".
