I’m not sure how you can do any kind of search on this and conclude that abstinence-only sex ed works. It doesn’t. We know that.
We know that kids are going to fuck. The only real difference is if they’re comfortable telling adults when something goes wrong; and also know if something is going wrong.
Shame and guilt doesn’t stop behavior- it causes people to hide it.

Better sex ed reduces teen births. I’m not refuting that or even referring to that.
