Sex Education. Thoughts?

I can see both sides of the arguement but believe it's more important to teach kids about sex than pretend it doesn't exist. Everyone becomes sexually active so why not treat it as another life skill and educate them about it. If the price of educating them about it is an increase in sex at least they'll know how to protect themselves and what they're getting in to. Sex is a part of life that's kept in the dark for no good reason.
