It is very possible that if you're over the age of 15 you know, or think you know, everything there is to know about sex. And what freightens me today is the reality that someone just barely inside the front doors of high school knows anything about sex, let alone as much as they do, and that the percentage is growing. Kids today are more willing to go purchase condoms then ever before, and young girls are on the pill even before they have their second period. Even worse the desire to have sex is so strong and the lack of knowledge so great that the idea of contraception isn't even a consideration. Prengancy, STDs, and a wealth of other sexual issues are far more common then ever before. Any kid that has self-esteem issues because they haven't had sex yet at 16 has fallen into the trap of an over sexualized society.
So what? Lesbian sex is different anyway right? Lesbians don't get STDs, or AIDs, and they certainly don't get pregnant... Here is the trouble with learning about sex from television, or by word of mouth.... People Lie. Not big huge life altering lies, well until you fine out that you have Herpies, or HIV... Your peers aren't lying to you because they want to hurt you, more often then not, they don't know any better. Misconceptions, myths, and urban legends are just as common in regards to sexual incounters as they are to the size of sewer rats in New York City.
Girls.... Ladies, You may not need to watch your cycle for fear of having a baby but don't run around out there without getting the real knowledge that you're lacking.
