Quote:
Young people should be encouraged to consider abstaining from sex as one of the options for protecting themselves against the epidemic of sexually transmitted infections sweeping the UK, the Health Protection Agency suggested yesterday.
Figures from the HPA, released in its annual report yesterday, show that teenagers and young people are disproportionately affected by infections such as chlamydia, which can make women infertile, and gonorrhoea.
A television advertising campaign to try to change the sexual behaviour of young people will be launched in the spring, the government said yesterday. The £50m campaign will be as big as that of the 1980s which alerted people to the dangers of Aids with graphic images of tombstones and icebergs.

There's a novel idea, then. Perhaps if our children weren't subjected to 24 hour sexualisation through TV and magazines, they might not be thinking about it so much.
