Sex Myths

There are a ton of myths about sex out there and even more people that believe them. We talked in class about some of these myths. People actually believe that you can't get pregnant if it is your first time having sex, or that you can't contract an STD from oral sex. This guy:

is mad about these myths.  His video is entertaining to watch, but also points something out. We should be angry that there are so many people still believing these myths. They are only going to lead to unwanted pregnancy and/or STDs.  I have found that most of the people who believe these lies are teens. I believe that one way this can change is if the sex education system is revamped and started to be taught at a younger age. If kids are going to have sex, whether they are taught sex education or not, we should at least do them a service by teaching them the truth and give them options and facts so they can make better decisions. A few years ago I participated in a debate about sex education and in all of my readings, I found that countries (such as a the Netherlands) that had a more comprehensive sex education that started at a younger age, had lower levels of teen pregnancies and STDs. 

Do you think that these myths have arose from an absence of adequate sex education?
