Oral sex lessons to cut rates of teenage pregnancy

Encouraging schoolchildren to experiment with oral sex could prove the most effective way of curbing teenage pregnancy rates, a government study has found.

Pupils under 16 who were taught to consider other forms of 'intimacy' such as oral sex were significantly less likely to engage in full intercourse, it was revealed.

Britain's teenage pregnancy rate is the highest in Europe. In 2002 there were 39,286 teen pregnancies recorded. The government has spent more than £60 million to tackle the problem but so far failed to halt the rise.

A sex education course developed by Exeter University trains teachers to talk to teenagers about 'stopping points' before full sex.

Now an unpublished government-backed report reveals that a trial of the course has been a success. Schoolchildren, particularly girls, who received such training developed a 'more mature' response to sex.

The study by the National Foundation for Educational Research found youngsters were 'less likely to be sexually active' than peers who received traditional forms of sex education, dispelling the fears of family campaigners who believe such methods actually arouse the sexual interest of teenagers.

Now the government will recommend the scheme, called A Pause, to schools throughout England and Wales following the success of the trial in 104 schools where sexual intercourse among 16-year-olds fell by up to 20 per cent, according to Dr John Tripp of the Department of Child Health at the University of Exeter, who helped to design the course.

Teachers who sign up to the course are primed to deal with queries from pupils on all kinds of sexual experience. Those behind the course stress the scheme does not suggest teenagers experiment with oral sex. Instead they say A Pause promotes the message that other forms of physical intimacy are safer than full intercourse.

'It teaches people assertiveness skills and that they should be only as intimate as they feel comfortable with,' said Tripp.

A Department for Education and Skills spokesman said the report's verdict would be made available to all schools. 'All teachers respect peer-reviewed material, and this will help influence their decision,' he said.

Lovely. Heaven forbid we resort to antiquated notions of the proper context for sexual intimacy (marriage). Let's teach them oral sex technique. Man...what will they be teaching in public schools 50 years from now? :roll:

"From Hitler’s vision for a Thousand Year Reich and Lenin’s promise to use the dictatorship of the proletariat to build a workers' paradise, to abortion depicted as a 'women’s health issue' and homosexual behavior justified as an 'alternative lifestyle,' evil always comes to humanity disguised as good. The results are just as invariably consistent -- destruction, suffering and death. Beware the Serpent’s promises." --Dr. Earl H. Tilford

WASHINGTON -- Nazi persecution of homosexuals came under the spotlight of the Holocaust Museum on Friday, in the first of a series of exhibits on an estimated 5 million non-Jews -- Poles, Soviet war prisoners, Gypsies, the handicapped and others -- killed while Adolf Hitler ruled Germany.

"Nazi Persecution of Homosexuals 1933-1945" will be open until March 16.

It's a collection of photographs, news clippings, magazine illustrations and original German documents -- with translations -- documenting Nazi punishment of homosexuals.

It also includes a chilling diagram with the colors and forms of the badges on concentration camp uniforms: yellow triangle for Jews, pink triangle for homosexuals and a circle-within-a-circle for those suspected of wanting to escape from what the Nazis called "protective custody."

Among the first places the Nazis raided when they took power in 1933 was the Institute of Sexual Sciences in Berlin. The founder, Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, a homosexual himself, happened to be in Paris at the time and stayed there.

Homosexual organizations in Germany were dissolved. Bars and other gathering places were closed and uniformed police were stationed outside.

Heinrich Himmler, who headed Hitler's police forces, put the number of homosexual men at 2 million. He was mostly concerned because they did not help increase the population of Germans as a master race.

"We must be absolutely clear," he once said, "that if we continue to have this burden in Germany, without being able to fight it, then that is the end of Germany, and the end of the Germanic world."

The year after Hitler came to power he staged a raid on the headquarters of the brown-shirted Storm Troopers, the Nazis' paramilitary wing. It was headed by Ernest Roehm, widely known as a homosexual. Roehm and other leaders were summarily shot.

The year after that, the Nazis broadened a 60-year- old law outlawing male homosexuality. That was the widely known Paragraph 175 of the penal code, a number that homosexual inmates at concentration camps were compelled to wear on their shirts along with the pink triangle.

Though lesbians were punished under other pretexts, they were not mentioned in the law. In Nazi concept, all women were naturally inclined to motherhood.

After the German surrender in 1945 some homosexuals freed from concentration camps were returned to serve out sentences in West German prisons.

In 1969, Paragraph 175 was revised to decriminalize homosexual relations between men over 21. The law was repealed in 1994 and this year the German parliament pardoned homosexuals convicted by the Nazis under it.

More than 100,000 men were arrested as homosexuals during Hitler's 12 years in power. About half served prison terms, and between 5,000 and 15,000 were placed in concentration camps, the Holocaust Museum calculates.

"Nazi Germany did not seek to exterminate all homosexuals," says the exhibition text. "Nevertheless, the Nazi state through active persecution, attempted to terrorize German homosexuals into sexual and social conformity, leaving thousands dead and shattering the lives of many more."

Edward J. Phillips, the museum's deputy director for exhibitions, said records are lacking because offices of the police section for combatting abortion and homosexuality were destroyed in the battle for Berlin. Few records were left in concentration camps.

Phillips said the museum is planning to send the exhibit on tour and to mount a new one in about two years dealing with another, yet-to-be- determined, non-Jewish group persecuted by the Nazis

All that said, I believe the UK may be in for a significant increase in oral herpes and other STDs if their only focus is on reducing teen pregnancy.
