HearSay Classic: A TIME TO KILL?

HearSay Classic: ABSTINENCE VS. SAFE SEX
The federal government has invested millions of dollars in sex-education programs for public schools that emphasize abstinence. Yet, according to a study ordered by Congress, students who took part in sexual abstinence programs were just as likely to have sex as those who didn't. On this archive edition, we discuss how everything from “purity pledges” to “hook-ups” has changed the way young people approach sexuality. Guests: Llew Roberts, nationally certified as a sexuality educator; Lakita Garth, social commentator and abstinence speaker; writer and women’s rights activist Jennifer Baumgardner; and Laura Sessions Stepp, author of “Unhooked: How Young Women Pursue Sex, Delay Love and Lose At Both”.
