I am always shocked that there are still a handful of defenders of the dubious practice of abstinence, surely the worst idea since chocolate-covered ants.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Half the vices which the world condemns most loudly have seeds of good in them and require moderate use rather than total abstinence.
To many, total abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
Well, I think that abstinence has its place as part of a comprehensive health and sex education curriculum. It would be wrong to exclude abstinence from a health curriculum, because there are some potentially very serious ramifications for early sexual activity.
I'm not convinced that abstinence-only education works.
There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.
The work on ants has profoundly affected the way I think about humans.
Abstinence is the great strengthener and clearer of reason.
When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
Puritanical attempts to cure society by taking toys away from children are hypocritical and futile.
Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.
