Here are several reasons why I support organizations like Planned Parenthood and the general sex education all children should receive.
Scenario one: Person A (either Girl or Guy you choose) decides to wait to have sex till marriage. Person A meets Person B (again Guy or Girl) who has had sex in past but now wants to wait till marriage. Does Person A know if Person B has an STD? Has Person B ever been tested for STDs? How does Person B know that they might have an STD?
**IT'S NOT ABOUT SEX PEOPLE! IT'S ABOUT SAFETY!**
Scenario two: Person A is married to Person B. (As much as I vigorously oppose cheating and think it's the cowards way out of situations.) Person A cheats on Person B. What then? Person A might have not only ruined trust but possibly their own health.
STDs aren't just from sex either. You can be born with them if you're mother was infected. A bad blood transfusion, making contact with someone who is bleeding. An STD does not mean you slept around or are a big slut (either male or female).
An STD can happen to anyone and no one says "Hey I'd love an STD" so not knowing the signs/symptoms or the precautionary measures you have to take does not make you a more righteous person. It makes you uninformed.
Abstinence is the only 100 percent way to stay free of STDs (by way of sex) or babies but it doesn't mean you aren't vulnerable.
