A combination of political and religious opportunism mixed with some genuine concern, a good dose of parental confusion and a whole lot of hypocrisy. Is everyone forgetting when they were teenagers? Or are they remembering their past all too clearly and using a rigid moral agenda to somehow reconcile their own sexual history. Unfortunately it’s not working; in a recent report by Advocates for Youth, five years of abstinence-only programs were shown to have little effect on teen behavior. And parents who are relying on abstinence-only as their solution to teen sexuality, are often missing out on the one strategy that has been shown to work; opening the door to honest one-on-one conversations with their kids about sex.

Yet the truth is that for many people, first sexual experiences are a major event; they live within us for years to come and often impact our lives in significant ways. In his new book, ‘First Love / Remembrances’, author Howard B. Schiffer went around the world and interviewed a wide variety of people (young and old, gay and straight, different economic backgrounds and cultures) about; their first time having sex, their first time making love (often two entirely different experiences) and their first romances. ‘First Love’ follows the heart’s journey as we begin to enter the world of intimacy and beckons young people to enter this territory with their eyes and hearts wide open.

With all of the controversy surrounding sex education in our schools, it would seem most parents would jump at the opportunity to influence their teenager’s sexual behavior. Yet most parents are terrified of having ‘The Sex Talk’ with their children. Many adults say it is the hardest talk they ever have to give and most don’t even know where to start. Surveys from the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy have shown that for teens, parents are the preferred source of information about pregnancy and birth control. Also, 88% of teens said it would be easier to postpone sexual activity and avoid teen pregnancy if they were able to have more open and honest conversations with their parents. It’s time for parents to begin asking ‘Why is it so difficult for me to begin talking with my teenager about sex?’ (PRWeb Oct 15, 2004)

Last week Advocates For Youth, reported that not only do these programs fail to improve teenage sexual behavior but they actually may result in poor decisions and increased risk once these teens do become sexually active. Most importantly, abstinence-only programs are fear-based. They introduce teens into the territory of sexuality with negative messaging that associates sexual feelings and activity with danger, shame, embarrassment, and risk. Not the healthiest messages for young people first entering into the realm of relationships. (PRWeb Oct 6, 2004)

He said recently; “I realized that if I didn’t educate my son, the culture would and the idea of him getting all of his information about women from his friends, the internet and the media just wasn’t acceptable.” His one hour discussion with his son ended up taking six months.

Now “Best Lover” has been drawing rave reviews from educators around the country who are calling it a major breakthrough in sex education for teens. (PRWeb Sep 27, 2004)
