Hall, of “Abstinence-Only Education and Teen Pregnancy Rates: Why We Need Comprehensive Sex Education in the U.S.” discuss how sex education is demonstrated throughout the U.S. and how the government may be a contributor to these alarming rates (2011). They state, “some argue that sex education that covers safe sexual practices, such as condom use, sends a mixed message to students and promotes sexual activity” in describing the U.S. Government’s standpoint on sex education (Stanger-Hall & Hall, 2011, p. 1).

The animals “write in” to Dr. Tatiana as ask for advice on their sex lives, as if it were a advice column on Cosmo. From talking to microscopic organisms to blue whales, 'Dr. Tatiana' gives biological background on her subjects with humor and then dishes out the advice in the same style. This is the structure of the book, but the true story of the book and the purpose of it is to inform the reader about the biology and evolution of sex. “If not for sex, much of what is flamboyant and beautiful in nature would not exist.”

    There are many downsides to each of these teaching methods. Many would argue Abstinence-only programs do not offer knowledge that is critical to one’s sexual coming of age which is key to having a healthy life. One could also argue the Comprehensive Method does not teach moral values of sex and the connections between partners which are key to a healthy relationship.

For example, it is like telling a kid, “Do not eat any candy after school” but then putting candy in front of their face tempting them to eat it.

Otherwise, we run the risk of, middle schoolers forming unhealthy
