Oral sex lessons to cut rates of teenage pregnancy

Encouraging schoolchildren to experiment with oral sex could prove the most effective way of curbing teenage pregnancy rates, a government study has found.
Pupils under 16 who were taught to consider other forms of 'intimacy' such as oral sex were significantly less likely to engage in full intercourse, it was revealed.
Britain's teenage pregnancy rate is the highest in Europe. In 2002 there were 39,286 teen pregnancies recorded. The government has spent more than £60 million to tackle the problem but so far failed to halt the rise.
A sex education course developed by Exeter University trains teachers to talk to teenagers about 'stopping points' before full sex.
Now an unpublished government-backed report reveals that a trial of the course has been a success. Schoolchildren, particularly girls, who received such training developed a 'more mature' response to sex.
The study by the National Foundation for Educational Research found youngsters were 'less likely to be sexually active' than peers who received traditional forms of sex education, dispelling the fears of family campaigners who believe such methods actually arouse the sexual interest of teenagers.
Now the government will recommend the scheme, called A Pause, to schools throughout England and Wales following the success of the trial in 104 schools where sexual intercourse among 16-year-olds fell by up to 20 per cent, according to Dr John Tripp of the Department of Child Health at the University of Exeter, who helped to design the course.
Teachers who sign up to the course are primed to deal with queries from pupils on all kinds of sexual experience. Those behind the course stress the scheme does not suggest teenagers experiment with oral sex. Instead they say A Pause promotes the message that other forms of physical intimacy are safer than full intercourse.
'It teaches people assertiveness skills and that they should be only as intimate as they feel comfortable with,' said Tripp.
A Department for Education and Skills spokesman said the report's verdict would be made available to all schools. 'All teachers respect peer-reviewed material, and this will help influence their decision,' he said.
Clinton was just being as comfortable as possible when he substituted a cigar.
No pregnancy resulted from that alternate sex style.
Hey...seriously, this stuff is way out of hand. Schools shouldn't be the number
one source as being responsible for the sexual conduct of their students.
Parents are bailing out of being the prime source for controlling their kids
behavior.
Most parents seem to want someone else to teach these things because they
aren't comfortable doing it, are too busy to take time to teach their own kids
proper behavior. And yet, when their kids get pregnant, they blame the schools.
That's pure B.S. And furthermore, when schools do make attempts at sex
education, many parents rise up in rebellion at the course content. So...it's a
catch 22. They can't win either way.
Bottom line...Parents should be responsible for their own kids sex education.

There both bad but I think Tennesee is worse. This is another example of why any future children of mine will not be attending public screwl. I agree with OX sex ed is something that is strictly a parental responsibility and that to many parents skirt it. It also another example of how insane everyone in Europe really is.

But seriously all jokeing aside.
schools Teaching Oral sex as a substatute for intercourse?
Ca mon This is stupid to even concider.
Now days with Porn rampant on the internet and everywhere else
the very idea that children dont know about sexual ideas is nieve
We as parents Must teach them
Just like we must teach them about guns and hot irons and stoves
Its all part of being responsible adults.
But I still want to be an english school boy.................
Most kids are wanting sex by the age of 8 or 10 or even younger.
thats physical reality.
I remember when I was that age and I was interested
And so was everyone else.
No one wants to admit it when they are grown.
sorry to burst anyones bubble.
we are being un truthful to ourselves if we decide to believe that 10 year old boys dont have an interest in sex.
it isnt as strong as it will get in later years but it is there.
by about 16 a normal boy can think of almost nothing else
the curiosity and desire are normal and natural
most grown women(mothers) havent a clue about how to handle a situation like this so............ they dont
and since so many young men are raised by their mothers ..........
the young men in question have to learn from eachother or from pornography.
this leads to unacceptable learned sexual behavior.
and the cycle continues
So at least the British are trying something.
I dont see how it would help but then I am not British
