So this week, Feb 7-14 is considered Safer Sex Week in Jamaica, and as usual, i tried to rally support for more jamaican bloggers on amplify..

The theme this year is "Protect your love... Use a glove".
On publicizing the theme, i received varied responses; however many  individuals had one similar question: "what about those who are abstaining? why isn't there anything for them too? Not EVERYONE'S doing it! "

Food for thought:
Why is it that there isn't really anything geared towards abstaining teens? Or why isn't there a "Comprehensive Sex Ed week"?

Yes, HIV Awareness and safe sex are habits that we want to instill, but abstinence and conscious sexually healthy lives are also habits we want to promote. Why are the scales tipped to one side?

*Just a thought*
