On: Herpes Virus Reactivation in Astronauts During Spa...

[tropo]

My sex ed class taught me to use a dental dam for protection while kissing. I guess some people got abstinence-only classes, but most of us were taught how to stay safe.

I've also known multiple people in the USA who actually succeeded with abstinence. They did not kiss or spend time alone with the opposite sex until their wedding day.

IMHO the abstinence looks easier, but the use of protection is being taught.

Sounds like one of those "the cure is worse than the disease" situations.

Almost like they wanted the next most useless thing to abstinence, complicated process.
