Sex Education Just Became Even MORE Awkward

The University of Central Florida has spent $434,000 tax dollars on an interactive, motion-controlled game that is meant to promote abstinence. Using this program, a teen can jump in as the character being propositioned for sex and turn down the offering character. How this promotes abstinence, I have no idea. How this promotes a dwindling popularity, I totally understand. 
Sex education instructors in Florida should just do what sex educators in my New Jersey middle school did: graphically stretch a condom over their hand to their wrist, while saying, “THIS WHAT YOU WILL HAVE TO DO, THIS WHAT YOU WILL HAVE TO DO, SO YOU DON’T GET A…DISEASE, A DISEASE!” The instructor finished his speech with “…and really girls, your gangly 15 year old boyfriend isn’t going to be that good anyway. Trust me, I should know. I was once a gangly 15 year old boy once.” 
It kept me from thinking seriously about sex til at least my 16th birthday and even then, I was only THINKING about it. Though this length of time could be contributed to the fact that I went to an all girls performing arts school, speckled only with a few gay guys. Sex wasn’t a possibility, at least not for the girls.
