I must say, I tend to think that someone that just tells it like it is, ala Mr. Savage here, is fantastically better at providing sex education than any of the sources I had in my youth, which I would list as:

My family Church's sex education course. United Methodist, which I would say is somewhat more liberal than your average protestant denomination, although that is like saying a dolphin spends somewhat less time in the water than a fish because it jumps out of the water once in a while. Still, at least for this one they talked about protected sex and being cautious and sure you're ready, which I would consider sound advice.

My public school's offerings. This mainly consisted of all the boys being hauled into the auditorium and shown slides of cocks infected with various STDs. The ol' wait until later (ie, after you're no longer our problem) or your dick will fall off approach.

And my parents. They gave me the most honest approach, but I think that under the best of circumstances it is difficult to expect parents and their children to be able to talk openly and honestly about sex.

The appropriate age to have sex is whenever you can finally convince someone to do it with you.

If there's grass on the mound, play ball.

Virgin.

The more I hear him speak, the better I like him.

He did make one mistake though. "... when most of those adults lost their virginities at 14, 15, 16 years old, and are -fine-." If they were "fine", they wouldn't be so fucking hung up on teenagers having sex. Frankly, the age they lost their virginity seems unlikely to have anything to do with this particular problem, or they'd be point out how it does. It's far more likely due to the brainwashing they've received from their church and/or social circle, but still...they're definitely NOT fine.

^Or they are living with regret of some sort..

I see this guys point, but I still can't see myself encouraging my 14 year-old children to engage in mutual masturbation with other 14 year olds. I agree with this guy to some extent, but I also think he misses the mark by a fair margin in some aspects..

Seventeen...
