Is religious teaching of abstinence actually worse for fighting STDs and pregnancy?
Can you tell me your thoughts on the topic of abstinence-only religious teaching and its effectiveness in fighting STDs and pregnancy?
There is research suggesting that abstinence-only religious teaching may actually be worse for fighting STDs and pregnancy. By promoting abstinence-only, individuals may be less likely to use protection when they do engage in sexual activity, leading to increased risk of STDs and unintended pregnancy.
