I'm in favor of sex education, lots and lots of it. But what catches my eye when I see these sorts of numbers is the correlation between a lack of self confidence and multiple partners or early explorations. It makes me think that there is more than one problem to fix. Kids need to be able to get honest answers about sex, but we also to find other ways to build up their self-images and self-respect. I have no problem with a girl who wants to have 50 partnners, but it should be for the right reasons...not because she's trying to fill an empty place inside, or because she's trying to trade sex for acceptance.
