The reproductive health section of Friday's Times of Swaziland spoke about safer sex. It explained that improper planning for safer sex can cause embarrassing or even life-changing events, and went on to describe recent advances in and continuing challenges to preventing HIV transmission.
Without ignoring the plight of the HIV-positive, let's also help the younger generations by promoting Safest Sex: no sex until marriage, and sex only with husband or wife after marriage. Safest sex requires neither devices nor technical training: just coaching and self-discipline to avoid sex before marriage, and sound support from peers and elders during courtship and marriage. A man and a woman who save sex for their wedding night can look forward to decades of disease-free, joy-filled sexual pleasure with each other. Trading a few years of character-building abstinence for 20, 30, or 40 years of no-technology, worry-free, mutually-satisfying, relationship-building, and extremely-safe sex is a very good bargain. It is the safest bargain. It is Safest Sex.
Away with pre- and extra-marital sex and all their negative effects (disease, broken hearts, broken marriages, abortions); up with Safest Sex and all its positive effects (self-control, faithfulness, health, joy, love). Individuals, couples, families, and the nation will benefit.
