also there is a difference between tactfully answering the honest questions kids have and teaching them oral sex, etc.
Anyone from Netherlands or Sweden reading this thread? We are always told about the incredbile sex education your nations have and atleast in the case or Sweden much lower teenage pregnancy rates.

Teen pregnancy rates are much lower (and I do mean <b>much</b>, as in lowest teen pregnancy rate of Europe and about 1/10 of what it is in the US) here in Holland as well. I don't think school is responsible though (although our teacher showed how to use a condom with a big black dildo, which was rather funny), but rather the overall moral/sexual climate. Most parents tell their kids about sex, most teen girls use birth control pills, and most kids know about sex and condoms and such. Abstinence is considered a joke by 99% of the people, and people just talk more freely about (safe) sex.
