Since this is aimed a preteen girls, I don't necessarily think its "wait until marriage" but rather "wait until your body is physically supposed to be having sex".]]>Jul 29th 2010 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/Jul 29th 2010 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/I've had your daughters.]]>Jul 29th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/ROFL]]>Jul 29th 2010 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/Jul 29th 2010 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/Jul 29th 2010 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/>Total crap! Why would you preach abstinence?? That causes sexual problems later in life.
Dohoho, nice try.

>This is something that the church has preached for years, no sex until marriage.
Sexual promiscuity is generally regarded as immoral.

>There are many studies that show the preaching of abstinence is outmoded, outdated, and ineffective.
Common sense shows that practicing abstinence eliminates one's chances of contracting venereal diseases.

>Why are tax dollars being used for this?!
It's a research grant. The government makes sure that grant money is used properly and the portion that isn't used gets sent back.]]>Jul 29th 2010 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/
Yeah, practicing it does. But teaching it doesn't mean kids will practice it. And when you teach abstinence to kids without teaching them how to have safe sex, they end up with a kid or a venereal disease when they inevitably have sex because they were never taught how to use a condom.

Because if there's one way to get a kid not to do something that seems fun, exciting, and will make them feel grown up, it's telling them not to do it. That's sarcasm BTW.]]>Jul 29th 2010 7:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/Teaching safe sex and that it's okay to have the urge to have it to teens is much more important than preaching abstinence till marriage or you are a bad person.

And there is nothing wrong with sexual promiscuity if you are safe and its consensual. Either you didn't go to college or you didn't have any fun there.]]>Jul 30th 2010 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/29/motion-capture-game-teaches-tween-girls-to-avoid-the-come-ons-of/>But teaching it doesn't mean kids will practice it.
Same goes for safe sex.

>they end up with a kid or a venereal disease when they inevitably have sex because they were never taught how to use a condom.
VD can happen to anyone no matter how many precautions one takes. Wearing a condom? It can break. Using an IUD? It can fail. Taking contraceptives? They can fail. Also, when they're ready to have sex to have a child, isn't that the point?

>Because if there's one way to get a kid not to do something that seems fun, exciting, and will make them feel grown up, it's telling them not to do it. That's sarcasm BTW.
Thank goodness that statement was sarcasm :3

@Thedude983:

I must be a terrible, terrible person.

>And there is nothing wrong with sexual promiscuity if you are safe and its consensual.
Dohoho, that slaps me on the knee.

>Either you didn't go to college or you didn't have any fun there.
I'm currently in college and partying is not my thing, which obviously means that having fun is not my thing, either, right?
