Listen "Sexual Health is Public Health - The Problem with Abstinence Only Sex Ed: Part 1"
Episode Synopsis
Sex ed is one of those awkward experiences that we don't think about much after it happens. But a proper sex education is important to help the teens and young adults prevent STIs, unexpected pregnancies, and understand their bodily functions. For many of us it was a comprehensive experience, but for a sizable fraction their experience was much more limited or an abstinence only curriculum. In other words, the focus was on preventing sex altogether instead of providing the information to reduce risks. What is the history and origin of abstinence only sex ed? What health impact does it have? And most importantly, is it effective? (No). Join us and special guest Caitlin in a two part special that examines the issue of abstinence only sex ed.
