I am so SO horrified at this channel 4 teen sex programme!

Am I one of a dying breed who actually think its a really important to be in a committed relationship with someone you LOVE before you start having sex with them?

Is it wrong for me to look at these teenagers, off having sex with all and sundry, merrily hopping off to the abortion clinics as complete and utter tramps?

They seem to be actively encouraging reckless behaviour here.
'love', relationship','security' etc haven't been mentioned once.

Spanky, no, you are not alone!

'Tramps'??? is this 1950's America?

No one 'merrily hops off' to an abortion clinic.

When I saw the show it seemed to have people trying to educate youngsters about contraception and safe sex, - how is that encouraging reckless behaviour?

Well, I have to say I do think going off having sex with a lot of people is quite trampy.

Oh it was educational about contraception and safe sex yeah.

But thats not my point.

I think going off and having sex with lots of people you are never going to see again, most probably fuelled by drink is pretty reckless.

Also, that girl wasn't in the slightest bit bothered about her termination and i think lots of young people do view it as a contraception method so i think merrily in some cases could be quite accurate.

I used to enjoy having SAFE sex with randoms in my yoof. Dont moan about something you havent tried

I wouldn't want to.
I think its trampy and cheap...

its hard to think of what is the benefit of having sex with randoms other than the immediate pleasure of the people involved... would you want your child doing that - - i don't know.. someways yes, someways no...

Who said I didn't find it enjoyable?

I just watched it and was really saddened that the only person who mentioned being in a relationship with someone they liked was the gay virgin at the end.

And it really bothered me that they touted 4 times 'will he still be a virgin "popped his cherry"' by the time they had caught up with him 'later'

Good on you dude for holding out for someone who likes you.

As usual I thought that none of the girls who were having lots of sex were having good sex. Stereotyped bullshit.

We should be teaching our daughters to masturbate, learn how to be pleasured and to respect themselves enough to have sex with people who want to pleasure them.

It wasn't shown in that programme. Instead we just see women as vessels for male pleasure.

And it makes me furious.

Well the programme is about teen sex, it's looking at what is happening, not what some people think ought to happen. You can tell young people they can't have sex until they are in a committed relationship until you are blue in the face, they'll still do it, so I'd would rather see them educated and equipped to be safe.

And 'tramp' is an insulting moralistic word to use about young girls IMO.

Totally agree with you laurie.

To Kurri - They will thats true, but this programme and the media in general perpetuate that idea and make them think that sex with people you love is prudish and uncool etc etc.

Tramp is an insulting word, but i think its pretty accurate.

To Strandedpolar bear - i'm in my twenties, you could argue I am the youth of today!
