The Biblical solution is marriage at a young age.
If you ask most young men out there if they would like to marry a girl who is a virgin, they say they would. Therefore they must preserve themselves in the same way.
That's again, another solution which is simply not realistic in this day and age.
Not everyone meets the standards of Christ, but that is what repentance is for. It’s disingenuous I believe to be Christians saying: “here, have a condom” as if putting a stamp of approval on this promiscuous culture. Promiscuity is a tragedy, not something to be celebrated.
Who's celebrating? It's, at best, a necessary evil.
Contraception was the stepping stone used in the US to legalize abortion. It’s when the abortion mindset originates from, the idea that people should have as much sex as they want and not have any children - that the purpose of sex is not the creation of life.
People are going to have sex. They always have and they always will. That's a fact of life. Statistics show that abstinence-only education doesn't work, as there are far more STDs and unplanned pregnancies in areas where that is the only thing taught.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. Saying that comprehensive sex education should not be taught because people shouldn't be having extramarital sex is like saying that the military should be completely disbanded because people shouldn't be starting wars. It's just naive idealism.
