I got that, which is why my initial comment wasn’t addressed to singletona082 originally, but to @TheChineseWatch who I got the impression was teasing out how abstinence isn’t really promoted as a birth control method but rather as a moral imperative i. e. to protect virginity.
The thing we are dancing around here, and which looks like disagreement is that in practice using abstinence as a way to protect our young from unwanted pregnancy and STDs means we are necessarily conflating two different things, one of which gets avoided all together:
When should people start having sex and how do we teach them to have sex safely.
Singletona082 is only getting pushback for getting pushy about being right.
