Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are arguing in the media whether abstinence works.
Okay, let's try this again.
I'm a 31-year-old virgin and abstinence works for me. I've never had a pregnancy scare and I've never had an STD scare. Woohoo! (Let's just ignore the fact that I'd love not to be practicing it. In fact, I'd love not to be practicing it with nearly all of the actors who've played Winchester men on Supernatural. Sorry, Weechesters.)
Here are your problems, abstinence-only educators:
1. Not everybody will want to practice abstinence.
2. Those who don't shouldn't be subjected to a snotty attitude of, "Oh, well, sucks to be you, you whoring slut, hope you enjoys the teen pregnancy babies and herpes!"
3. Those who do should at least be taught that getting themselves off is not going to secure them an aisle seat on the Satan train and that eventually having sex will not cover them in icky girl cooties or taste like licking a dirty toothbrush or whatever stupid shit you feed these poor kids.
4. All of that is going to require not lying to your students.
5. Oh, and not sticking your fingers in your ears and singing, "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU," when someone puts forward the question, "Well, what do I do if I don't want to practice abstinence?" Because, hey, refer to #1.
Bristol and Levi might have been practicing abstinence once upon a blue moon. All that practice, and they officially had to drop out of the Abstinence Olympics when all of the sex started.
