which sex education is best - Abstinence only or Abstinence plus?
Please answer this by mentioning gender,religion and marital state.
Abstinence-Only Education is “Teaching about abstinence as the only morally correct option of sexual expression for unmarried young people. Abstinence-Only education does not teach about condoms and contraception, except to talk about their rates of failure.”
Abstinence-Plus Education is “Teaching about abstinence as the best method for avoiding sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy, but also teaching about condoms and contraception. These types of education teach about the benefits of condoms and contraceptives as well as about their rates of failure.”

Comprehensive sex education is best. Abstinence-only education has proven to be almost completely ineffective and I can't imagine abstinence-plus would work; it seems to me like the class would be a series of vague lessons, full of hemming and hawing, with very little actual information and an admonishment not to have sex at the end of each one. I'm a nontheist unmarried female in a relationship.

Abstinence plus is by far the best way to teach sex. Teens are going to have sex, why not teach them how to protect themselves from diseases and pregnancy?! That stuff destroys lives. The more you teach abstinence only the more the teen wants to do it. Be smart!

What do you mean by Abstinence only and Abstinence plus? It sounds like a school assignment or something or is it just general interest?
