Courtesy of FoxNews.com, I bring to you Eight Sex Myths You Should Not Believe. The key quote, however, isn’t any of the myths. It’s this:

Florida teens gravely misinformed about sex. Florida lawmakers are looking to overhaul their state’s sex education after learning that Florida teens believe that drinking a cap of bleach prevents HIV and a shot of Mountain Dew prevents pregnancy. The state, which is currently implementing abstinence-only sex education, has the sixth-highest teen pregnancy rate in the country.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why we have sex ed. When you don’t provide knowledge to your children, they will make shit up. Humanity has been doing it for centuries. That’s why some people believe the world is only 6000 years old and dinosaur fossils were planted by Satan to tempt us. Do you really want your children making up random “facts” about their sexuality?

Didn’t think so.
