When It Comes To Abstinence Teens, Adults Aren't Speaking The Same Language

You'd have thought that, since Genesis 2 shows a pretty clear story of how prohibition invokes the prohibited and presents it to desire/mimetic drive thus making it likely that 'fall' will take place, Christians would have a 'naturally' more nuanced view of things like education regarding things that are not good to do. But not so, and it is likely that many of the abstinence programmes alluded to in this research are church-based 'just say no' sorts of thing.When It Comes To Abstinence Teens, Adults Aren't Speaking The Same Language: "'Abstinence-only programs often only look at the negatives of sex, not the positive. This is especially important for young women who need to have control over having sex and having safe sex,' Masters said. 'With these programs you often hear 'sex just happens' and adolescents are having less safe sex. This detracts from adolescents having a choice, and this leads to more dangerous sex with more sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancies.'" It just seems that the more research there is on this, the more it seems that broader, holistic, consent and choice based approaches make sense overall. It's obliquity again. Sometimes to achieve something you have to approach it indirectly and recognise that what you are looking for is a side-consequence.
