I'm going to the National Abstinence Clearinghouse!

This article is awesome on several different levels...

As it turns out, the same researchers who found that that teens who take an abstinence pledge are just as likely to have an STD just came out with new findings that those teens are also more likely to have anal and oral sex. And less likely to use condoms when they do have sex (88% do so before marriage, ya know). Oh, and less likely to get checked for STD's.

As if that wasn't enough sweet nectar, there was also this:

Leslee Unruh, president of the National Abstinence Clearinghouse in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, called the study "bogus," disputing that those involved had pledged true "abstinence."

"Kids who pledge abstinence are taught that any word that has 'sex' in it is considered a sexual activity," Unruh said. "Therefore oral sex is sex, and they are staying away."

What a riot! And to top it off, I am set to go to Sioux Falls again soon... I really want to check this place out.
