There has been recent information released which suggests that children who choose to wait until marriage are NOT abstaining COMPLETELY form sex and because of that are ending up with venereal diseases of the mouth and such. There is a movement underfoot to let them know that a condom can help protect them from this type of venereal disease as well. Did you hear if that is what they are trying to report on?

I think it is very important to let these kids know venereal disease does not just effect the genitals and oral sex is a risk factor for venereal disease.

I am very spiritual so I do believe somewhat in the power of collective prayer but I think it is insane to think prayer alone is the answer. I believe combined "prayer" or just "good thoughts" are a powerful thing but more for the psyche than the body. It never ceases to amaze me that MSN runs stories like this but doesn't really go into detail about the "medical" aspect of these peoples treatments.
