Reply #11: This program is actually faith-based [View All]

so I was surprised at how good it was. There is no religious content at all. They gave factual information about STDs/STIs, some physiological information about how the parts work, and busted some myths. (For instance, some kids actually believe that you can't get pregnant if you have sex standing up. Or that oral sex is safe, just because you can't get pregnant.)

They did games that involved swishing your mouth with water and then passing your cup to another person to drink. No one would, of course, but the analogy is obvious: If you don't want to catch someone's cold by exposing yourself to someone else's germs, why would you risk herpes, or chlamydia, or PID by exposing yourself to their germs?

They do not discuss birth control, but they do refer kids who want that information to their family doctors, or school counselors, or other services.

All in all, I think the program does a fine job within the confines of their own mission.
