Agreed - but not as the ONLY possible good choice, which is how the theocratically-inclined and reality-challenged want it taught, even to trying to forbid masturbation!

I agree that it's not inevitable that every teenager will be sexually active (at least, not with anyone else), but I suspect it's inevitable that some and perhaps most will be, even if the activity is involuntary in far too many cases. And IMHO, providing contraception and counselling to protect these from HIV and unwanted pregnancies is too important to be left in the freshly-washed hands of the anti-sex league.
