Well winter is finally here in central Illinois which means that now I spend most of my time working or shivering like a Chihuahua and what does Ryan think about while shivering…. I think about comprehensive sex-ed and why it is so important for today’s youth…. Ok fine sometimes I think about cornflakes, but lately I have been thinking about relationships and how comp. sex-ed is such an obvious choice. I mean its like the totally cool thing to do…duh. >               

It used to be that sex was something of a taboo, to only be done on slightly romantic scenic overlooks and in bed between newlyweds in order to consummate their marriage. But today with this now found idea of “progressive open-minded-ness” (I made that word up, I know, I’m fabulous) sex has become a normal part of youth relationships. Which I find great, sex is a beautiful part of life and should be experienced and enjoyed. However sex is like a gum, it can be fun, but dangerous if you don’t know how to handle it. The undeniable fact is that today youth are sexually active and that abstinence only education as it stands doesn’t have a place in our society. I only hope that the hair of millions does not have to be sacrificed because of extreme right lobbyist and there no “gum chewing” policies.                 

Well that is what Ryan thinks about while shivering like a Chihuahua…..ooh and cornflakes! ;-)
