The Teenage Casualties of Casual Sex::By Doug Giles (http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/DougGiles/2007/09/22/the_teenage_casualties_of_casual_sex)

Chances are historically high, young person, that if you screw around sexually nowadays well…you could very well be…screwed. As in, for life, with the “gift” that keeps on giving—namely, a Sexually Transmitted Disease.

FYI young dudes and dudettes: no matter what they tell you on the various TV commercials, these diverse and multitudinous sex plagues aren’t just a “little inconvenient” like a runny nose, halitosis or dandruff. They are devastating.

The entrance of an STD into your B-O-D could equal one or more of the following:

Here’s my last word for the teenager: Nobody on the abstinence side of the sex spectrum is trying to keep you from having fun. We’re just trying to keep you alive so that when you meet the right person and get married you can have a healthy sex life with no regrets, diseases, infertility or untimely death, that’s all. And yes, it’s come down to that. The sexual revolution is over, and we all lost. In this, your day, my young friend, there is a very real pay day for buying the BS our sex-obsessed culture is selling you. This is the hand you’ve been dealt. Be afraid.
Amen, Doug.

This column is a must read for ANYONE with kids or grandkids.

Try talking to young people about this subject, it might surprise you. What you get is a lot of screaming that they don't believe in God and stop shoving religion at them. Most of them claim that the rate of STDs in the 40s and 50s was worse than today and so was teen pregnancy. They actually believe that the rate of STDs has improved in the last ten years.

Sexuality has become so linked with religion that talking to a young person about toneing it down is the same as dragging them to church and certainly an infringement on their rights.

Nowhere is the vitriol worse than on those girls and boys who don't see a point in being promiscuous for the sake of being promiscuous. They are the Taliban incarnate in the US. These kids have to have really really strong characters to put up with the crap they get from their peers.
