One must provide a moral imperative. Personally its the role of parents to inculcate in their children what is proper and acceptable behaviour and what is not. The problem is, that we have a media that is doing just the opposite and actively promotes promiscuity.
what would you describe as promiscuity?

I am a Christian therefore pre marital sex is simply off the cards for me, as is homosexuality and I inculcate these values in my children also.
How other parents find definition for their moral standards i cannot say.

Morality for me is predefined by Biblical scripture, I simply need to apply it, but for other people its simply not the case.

Promiscuity has to do with an attitude towards casual sex and multiple sexual partners. I suspect that promiscuous persons may have some qualms about whether persons are married or not but its impossible to make any generalisation so as to reach a consensus.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI would agree the media, and social media especially promote promiscuity, and though i don't see it as too bad / evil this generation are going to get bitten, they must understand they will get not one but many stds by acting that way.

Promiscuity h ...[text shortened]... ns are married or not but its impossible to make any generalisation so as to reach a consensus.
so you cannot define what you class as promiscuous but what ever it is you want people to stop doing it, right?

Originally posted by whodeyIf I was to devise a sex education programme, it would basically teach people:
You can use the term "impractical" if using the term "immoral" gives you the willies. 😵 Just drive home the point that they should not be doing it.
1) Don't have sex until you're really sure it's the right choice for you.
2) If you do have sex, make damn sure you use protection.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieBut when the state makes decisions about what to teach in schools, eg, whether to implement a programme of sex education, they can't just fall back on the idea that "people have their own choices to make". They need to make decisions about what kind of programmes are going to lead to the best possible outcome in terms of the sexual health of the population as a whole.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieSo who decides what is 'proper and acceptable behaviour'? I'm sure my definition would be different from yours. For example, sex outside of marriage is not an issue for me in the slightest, I partake on a regular basis.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieHow many does 'multiple' constitute? How many people does someone have to sleep with to be termed promiscuous in your eyes?

Originally posted by TeinosukeAs far as i can discern schools have not tackled the issue morally. For example my kid who is eleven, got home last week, a paper that we were to go over together on sex education. It covered conception through to the birth of a baby and began with a man and a women engaging in sex and ending with labour and the child being born. Or task was to discuss the steps necessary for the process and report back to the teacher on how it benefited us to discuss it. There was about twelve different scenario's and we simply had to put them in order. While it was interesting to an extent, it carried with it no morality.
But when the state makes decisions about what to teach in schools, eg, whether to implement a programme of sex education, they can't just fall back on the idea that "people have their own choices to make".

I dont know what schools can do, we have our own morality that works for us, our own literature, our own standards of morality and while i think that to practice abstention as we do until one is in a situation where one is responsible enough to look after a family, emotionally, financially and spiritually is ultimately the best and most practical choice, I cannot see others adopting a similar morality unless they have similar moral values and imperatives.
