"Absitence-only programs emphasize aabstienence from all sexual behaviors, and they typically do not provide information about contraception or disease prevention". Supports say that this approach drives home the point to young people that there is no choice when it coms to nonmarital sexuality. Recent research indiciates that absitenence-only-before-marriage programs failed to fulfill their sole purpose-namely, increasing the rates of sexual abstienence. When compared with students in other programs, students in abstinence-only-before-marriage programs had their first sexual experiences at similar ages, had a similar number of sexual partners, and used condoms with similar frequency Numerous "sexuality education experts" believe "that strictly abstinence-only-programs may do more harm than good. They often fail to provide necessary factual information, and they support many myths and stereotypes about various topics in human sexuality such as sexual asualt, gender differences, sexual orientation, pregnancy options, and STIs" (Carroll, 2007, p. 246) Comprenhensive sexuality education empowers young people by teaching them "about both abstienence and ways to protect themseleves from STDs, HIV, and unintended pregnancy" (SIECUS, 2005e). l
