An Orgasm a day keeps the .......

Doctor away!

There is a story in the Times this weekend quoting that an Orgasm a day keeps the doctor away. I would agree but the context in which it is written worries me.

I am not a prude but I do believe that Values are important when it comes to sexual behaviour, we are indeed sexual beings and sex is good within its bounds. I however don't wish to comment on those bounds but nevertheless they exist.

I'm just not sure that encouraging YP to have sex at such an early age is either health conscious or wise. I am however pretty sure that a sexual relationship should be kept to the confines of a good, sound committed relationship and to something so casual, why? I don't really know the answer to that other than that's how it feels to me and from my experience works.

I don't think the article explicitly encourages YP to have causal sex but it is suggesting that whatever the circumstances "just enjoy it".

I have become increasingly discouraged by the way we publish articles for the advice of our YP in regards to health, sex and lifestyle and then months later tell them that the scientists got it wrong.

I have some questions:

Is safe sex safe?
Does eating 5 fruit & veg a day really help at all?
Do the suns rays really give me skin Cancer?

The reason I ask is because I have read contrary to all of these this week. What do we expect our YP to believe.
