In a study, it was found that no abstinence-only program has been shown to help delay teen sex or to protect themselves when they do initiate sex.
Research has also shown that abstinence-only programs can reverse the efforts made by teens for safe-sex, when contraception discussion is limited to focusing on its failure.
Obviously there is a sufficient amount of evidence that shows abstinence-only education does not work. So why are there no comprhensive sex education programs that are government funded? In 2006 alone, $176,000,000 was spent in funding abstinence-only programs.
