Whats so wrong with sex? Its completely crazy to encourage abstintence! What for? Its hardly like smoking, and not to mention, completely patronising from the government. We can make our own choices you know!
Sex is healthy, natural, good for you, part of being a human and people have sexual needs, whether they're married or not (yes, obviously wear a condom) but marriage is an artifical construct....
And I think its slightly crazy to encourage abstintence, and then say, but its fine within marriage. I mean, people then are going to rush into marriage just so they can have sex and experiment and are much more likely to get divorced than if they'd taken their time etc etc.
And how on earth are you supposed to know if you're sexually compatible??There is nothing wrong with (safe) sex! The government would get better results if they mailed everyone free condoms........
