I look back on when I was single, and I think a lot of the discussion is aimed in the wrong direction, for girls/young women at least. The way I remember it, girls don't make the decision to have sex because of libido, or even peer pressure; at least not most of the time. They make that decision because they believe they're not valued, not loved, and not lovable; that no one will want them for an ideal life partner. So when they're offered sex it feels like the closest thing they're going to get to love, and they take it.
For girls I think the best preventative measure would be building them up to have the confidence that they are precious enough that someone will want them for a wife, that they will find happiness and fulfilment with a life partner, and that in the meantime they can make a worthwhile contribution to the world in the way that they choose; they don't need to settle for less.
Because it's when they don't believe that, that a quick thrill in the back seat of a car starts to look like the best thing the world has to offer them.
