Deplorable NHS Sex Leaflet for teens
I read an article recently about a new National Health Service (NHS) leaflet campaign aimed at teens about sex. The pamphlet reads:
An Orgasm a Day: You could talk about the positive physical and emotional effects of sex and masturbation
The small print alerts youngsters of the benefits of having “An Orgasm a Day” [as opposed to having an apple a day]. It encourages teens to have sex and claims it is good for them. Pupils are also told they have a ‘right’ to a good sex life. What evilness {†}.
Despite the Word of God telling us otherwise, it’s no wonder British teens have the highest birthrate in Europe. Shame on the NHS and shame on the British Government. If you have received one of these leaflets, I urge you, throw it in the bin and pick up a Bible. Start reading the Gospels and get right with God. Jesus is only only way to Heaven. Listen to this deplorable advice, and I think you have enough education to know where you’ll end up.
Apparently, the leaflet’s author, Steve Slack, director of the Centre for HIV and Sexual Health at NHS Sheffield, defended it by saying the advice could encourage young people to delay losing their virginity until they are sure they will enjoy the experience.
He added that as long as teenagers are fully informed about sex and making decisions free of peer pressure as part of a caring relationship, they have as much right as an adult to a good sex life. May I remind you “Steve”, that trying to explain-away immoral nature of this informational leaflet is going to do you no good on the day of Judgement.
For a full review of the story behind this, please visit this post on the Daily Mail website. God Bless.
If you are considering becoming a Christian, please read the article What does it mean to be a born again Christian? over at GotQuestions.org. Doing so may start you off on the greatest journey of your life. Don’t put off the decision to accept Christ another day.

Teenagers will masturbate whether they are told about it or not. (Unless they are seriously under sexed). It’s all part of growing up and doesn’t harm anyone. What is the point of making them feel guilty about it?

@quedula → The whole point is that teens are being purposefully misinformed about such matters, especially when it comes to having sexual relations before marriage.
They are condoning teens having sex for fun with each other, spreading STD’s no doubt, and adding to teenage pregnancy. I’ll spare you the Bible verses on this one, but you know where to find them.

Andrew, can you post a link to the leaflet itself? I admit I haven’t read it and wouldn’t want to rely on the Daily Mail’s reporting.

We have to bear in mind that the NHS doesn’t (or shouldn’t) concern itself with accomodating particular religious views. It is dedicated to maintaining “health” (I hope in the widest sense) and interprets and publicises relevant studies and research for the benefit of the general population.

@quedula → Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a larger image either, hence why I have used a low-res version; repeated. Like yourself, I would like to read the entire copy, too.
