Comments on: Deplorable NHS Sex Leaflet for teens http://www.purechristiangraphicdesign.com/deplorable-nhs-leaflet-for-teens/ Christian Graphic Design Blog from Andrew Kelsall Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:50:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: CyanFoxhttp://www.purechristiangraphicdesign.com/deplorable-nhs-leaflet-for-teens/#comment-620 CyanFox Wed, 12 Oct 2011 04:45:17 +0000 http://www.purechristiangraphicdesign.com/?p=518#comment-620 Thanks for the link!Just a post-script note about the comment on the Bible's contemporary relevance: There are a lot of scientific and medical discoveries that, in fact, confirms and supports the "health regimens" of the Bible ;) Like how the Biblical-obsolete "unclean" food were actually found out to be really nutritionally "unhealthy".Isn't that interesting?Getting back on masturbation, sex and orgasm, I guess we'll just have to wait for NHS' full report. But I'm pretty sure this claim of theirs will get debunked pretty soon haha.Keep up the interesting posts! Thanks for the link!

Getting back on masturbation, sex and orgasm, I guess we’ll just have to wait for NHS’ full report. But I’m pretty sure this claim of theirs will get debunked pretty soon haha.

Keep up the interesting posts!

But as I am not a health expert, I don't comprehend where they base the measure for "health". I mean, every scientific enquiry can and should always be standardized by some empirical gauge, right?Getting back to the topic, how can masturbation and sex be considered as "healthy"? Are they referring to the immediate positive effects of such physical activities? Well, if that's the way science works nowadays, then aren't we regressing in our own way of studying this world we live in?True health experts does not only focus on short-term observations; they should also consider the long-term implications - how such behavior influences their psychological development, how this in turn affects their social interactions, what are the physiological responses that occurs during sex and masturbation, and how does these all contribute to a wholistic personal development of a person.Well, as I said, I'm just a simple Filipino with no background or expertise on health matters. That's why I choose to believe more on a thousand-year old Bible, because believe it or not, I find it more reliable and dependable than the ever-changing discoveries, findings and reports of our modern society.Good morning! ^_^ Sorry to butt into the lovely conversation, but as a third-world person which most westerners probably view as backwards in terms of civilization, may I be as bold enough to perhaps pose a simple question:

There is nothing wrong with 2 consenting people engaging in sexual intercourse provided they are of a legal age and use appropriate protection. The NHS is promoting safe and healthy sexual intercourse rather than burying its head in the sand and pretending that teenagers don't have sex. I don't need to mention that HIV and AIDS are rife in countries where so called christian governments condemn the use of contraception. If you want to live long and stay healthy I would suggest teenagers read leaflets from their drs rather than a book written a few thousand years ago which has no relevance to the modern day what so ever.

It is dedicated to maintaining "health" (I hope in the widest sense) and interprets and publicises relevant studies and research for the benefit of the general population.

I'll spare you the Bible verses on this one, but you know where to find them. @quedula → The whole point is that teens are being purposefully misinformed about such matters, especially when it comes to having sexual relations before marriage.

(Unless they are seriously under sexed). It's all part of growing up and doesn't harm anyone. What is the point of making them feel guilty about it?
