STATE OF THE UNION - HS to distribute condoms to students leaving prom

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – There is a condom controversy at a Brooklyn high school. On prom night, administrators are planning on handing out free condoms to students.

Condoms might be considered commonplace in New York City high schools — just last year 680,000 were distributed to students — but a principal’s plan to make them available at the prom on June 7 is raising some eyebrows.

Homosexuals launch battle against evangelical university

(NBC NEWS) LA MIRADA, Calif. – On the same day President Obama became the first U.S. president to come out in support of same-sex marriage, a group of students announced the presence of the “Biola Queer Underground” at this small evangelical university, touching off a highly-charged debate about Christianity and homosexuality.

The group launched a website and posted flyers around the Biola University campus May 9 with the following message: “We want to bring to light the presence of the LGBTQ community at Biola. Despite what some may assume, there are Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender, and Queers at Biola. We are Biola’s students, alumni, employees, and fellow followers of Christ. We want to be treated with equality and respected as another facet of Biola’s diversity.”

The emergence of the group, whose members remain anonymous, has shaken this 104-year-old Christian college in Southern California. Like many schools rooted in evangelical Christianity, Biola has a code of standards that includes prohibitions on sex outside of marriage and same-sex relationships: Sex is “designed by God to be expressed solely within a marriage between a husband and wife,” according to Biola’s student handbook, which goes on to say that “sexual misconduct, depending on the facts and circumstances of each case will result in disciplinary action.”

Premarital SEX!... How Far is TOO Far?

Premarital SEX!... How Far is TOO Far?... Ask The Preacher with Carl Gallups - Mar 11/2012

Pornography Causes Prostate Cancer

A webmd article reported on findings from a study suggesting frequent masturbation among young men in their twenties could raise cancer rates and yet older men could benefit from frequent masturbation. However the article went on to clarify that it may not be the masturbation itself which increases cancer risk in young men but rather the amount of arousal they are experiencing.

"So it's not masturbation itself that's increasing prostate cancer risk in young men. More masturbation may just mean more sex drive -- and more androgens bathing prostate tissues."

The "bathing" of androgens in the prostate results from an over-sexualized culture; a culture obsessed with sex. Everywhere these young men (and old) turn they are bombarded with sexual images and women walking around in their little sister's clothes. So it's not just the pornography which is causing prostate cancer but the entire western culture dynamic.

The prostate contains an alkaline liquid which mixes with a man's sperm upon ejaculation to assist the sperm in it's attempt to reach the woman's egg. The prostate and liquid also provide the pleasure associated with sex. When a man is turned on (aroused) sexually the prostate kicks into gear and gets an androgen bath in anticipation of the "event". When the event doesn't happen the prostate is left hanging, so to speak. Unless the prostate gets a regular purging by ejaculation the result is often the accumulation of cancer cells leading to prostate cancer.

So the study shows that the frequency of arousal in today's culture is leading to increased rates of prostate cancer. Masturbation, the study shows, gives the required purging and reduces cancer risks as men get older. However it could probably be argued that choosing one's environment, what we watch on television, who we associate with and where we allow our imagination to go can also go a long way in keeping our prostate healthy well into our old age guys.

Homosexual Disclaimer - Know the TRUTH about your actions

Center for Disease Control

Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2% of the US population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV and are the only risk group in which new HIV infections have been increasing steadily since the early 1990s. In 2006, MSM accounted for more than half (53%) of all new HIV infections in the United States, and MSM with a history of injection drug use (MSM-IDU) accounted for an additional 4% of new infections. At the end of 2006, more than half (53%) of all people living with HIV in the United States were MSM or MSM-IDU. Since the beginning of the US epidemic, MSM have consistently represented the largest percentage of persons diagnosed with AIDS and persons with an AIDS diagnosis who have died.

Study Shows BIBLICAL sex remains the only SURE answer

Young people across the globe are having more unprotected sex and know less about effective contraception options, a multinational survey revealed on Monday.

The "Clueless or Clued Up: Your Right to be informed about contraception" study prepared for World Contraception Day (WCD) reports that the number of young people having unsafe sex with a new partner increased by 111 percent in France, 39 percent in the USA and 19 percent in Britain in the last three years.

"No matter where you are in the world, barriers exist which prevent teenagers from receiving trustworthy information about sex and contraception, which is probably why myths and misconceptions remain so widespread even today," a member of the WCD task force, Denise Keller, said in a statement with the results of the study.

"When young people have access to contraceptive information and services, they can make choices that affect every aspect of their lives which is why it's so important that accurate and unbiased information is easily available for young people to obtain," Keller said.

The survey, commissioned by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals and endorsed by 11 international non-governmental organizations, questioned more than 6,000 young people from 26 countries including Chile, Poland and China, on their attitudes toward sex and contraception.

The level of unplanned pregnancies among young people is a major global issue, campaigners say, and the rise in unprotected sex in several counties has sparked concern about the quality of sex education available to youngsters.

In Europe, only half of respondents receive sex education from school, compared to three quarters across Latin America, Asia Pacific and the USA.

Many respondents also said that they felt too embarrassed to ask a healthcare professional for contraception.

"What young people are telling us is that they are not receiving enough sex education or the wrong type of information about sex and sexuality," spokeswoman for the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Jennifer Woodside said in a statement.

"The results show that too many young people either lack good knowledge about sexual health, do not feel empowered enough to ask for contraception or have not learned the skills to negotiate contraceptive use with their partners to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies or STIs (sexually transmitted infections)," she said.

More than a third of respondents in Egypt believe bathing or showering after sex will prevent pregnancy, and more than a quarter of those in Thailand and India believe that having intercourse during menstruation is an effective form of contraception.

But the fact that many young people engage in unprotected sex and the prevalence of harmful myths should not come as a surprise, Woodside said.

"How can young people make decisions that are right for them and protect them from unwanted pregnancy and STIs, if we do not empower them and enable them to acquire the skills they need to make those choices?" she said.
