Ughh Two Gross...

A map of sexual activity in a midwestern high school shows that the circle of direct and indirect contact spread to 288 students. Wow. Thats a lot of kids. I wonder if it was that bad when I was in high school? Scary.

Dawn Eden is suggesting that maybe a new emphasis on sexual abstinence in relationships would be a good idea. I think it will reduce the number of sexually active kids as a percentage of the student population, but I don't think it will have a huge effect on disease transmission among those who are active. I suppose it might break the pool into smaller sexual groups which would tend to isolate diseases. On the other hand you may just end up with a large pool of only a 150 students, which is still huge.
