[DRAFT] Everything But

[Westinor]

This subject has been on my mind for a bit now(not like that), so I finally tackled it - hopefully the writing's not too bad. Let me know what you think!

[title] Everything But

[desc] Western @@NAME@@ University, a liberal arts school, recently published a study claiming that the "abstinence-only" position being taught in schools is not lowering proliferation rates or reducing pregnancies and STDs in teens. In their report, they suggest an alternative curriculum, cheekily nicknamed the "Backdoor Education Plan", which they allege is far more effective.
[validity] has abstinence only policy (options #168.2, #200.3, #840.2), has guns, adult

[option] "Look, this conviction that 'sex is a sin' just isn't working," explains Professor Lana M. E., as she thoughtfully rubs her cheek. "The fact is, some teens just can't hold it in, and we can’t stop them. However, if we teach them alternative ways to approach the act, anytime... pulling out slips their mind they can still avoid pregnancies and STDs. It's better than plugging our ear-holes and pretending it doesn't exist!"
[effect] schools teach out of the Kama Sutra in sex ed class

[option] "Ain' no lily-livered liberal gon' teach my children how best to f-" shouts outraged mother Catherine Gratwick as she gets cut off by your secretary sneezing. "Fornicashee'-un' is a sin, and thinking this revolting plan will somehow solve that is front-to-back! @@LEADER@@, you must keep teaching our children abstinence-only - and while you're at it, we need to clean up the foul language too! Just yesterday I heard sum' hooligan bad-mouthin' around my daughter, and my-oh-my if I hadn't been there with a shotgun..."
[effect] making a butt joke lands students bottom-first in jail

[option] "Ugh, Mom! I hear you and dad getting it on all the time once I go to bed!" groans her daughter as she eyes your secretary. "Just let us do whatever we want! We don't need to be told how to… Hey there chipper, whatcha' starin at?" She winks at your secretary, who drops all of your folders.
[effect] fruit flies and @@DEMONYMPLURAL@@ have an awful lot in common

Wow, nice writing to keep the language clean.

In option 1, I'm not sure how to read the phrase ", anytime, er, pulling out". I can't get the intonation right mentally, so the sentence is lost on me.

The options are balanced without missing anything, I think, but there might be very conservative nations where abstinence-only is taught where an issue like this would simply never arise, just out of sheer prudeness. Sure, they have option 2, but it takes a certain degree of sexual liberty to even dare to propose option 1, I feel. Not a huge problem for the issue as a whole, though.

Thanks! Tried to fix that wording up, and hopefully the rest of the issue is free from that "written at 2 AM" vibe. Still feel like option 2 needs work, so I'll continue rewriting that.

Yeah, that's true, but the research coming from a liberal arts school (kindly suggested by Cretox) sort of suggests that its not necessarily trustworthy, nor mainstream research in a nation that's chosen abstinence-only. Also, its extremely hard to say that a nation that has chosen abstinence-only necessarily has people who only believe in that - thus, the issue.

I'd recommend adding adult only to the validity.

shouts outraged mother @@RANDOMNAME@@

This should probably be @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@.

and my-oh-my if I hadn't been there with my shotgun...

I'd recommend changing 'my shotgun' to 'a shotgun' so that it makes sense in nations that do not allow firearms.

Overall I quite like this one, good job

I think the title could use more work. I get it’s some “haha you thought I was going to say the word” but it simply needs more wit. I’ll try to come up with one.

Thanks! Made the edits, though I'm going to also add in a "has guns" validity until that part of option 2 is removed. Thanks for catching that

It's not so much "haha i was going to say the word" but rather, eh, a reference to the nature of the proposed plan, and it works as a double reference to abstinence-only "everything but this!" but if you come up with a good title I'll consider it!

Option 2 sounds like a Catherine Gratwick option to me.

You're right

[Westinor]

Made a few minor tweaks to the options, feedback and comments would be appreciated!

I don't like this option. To me, it crosses the line from potentially funny to just kinda uncomfortable.

Got it. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure if this premise is deserving of an issue by itself, seeing as it resembles just a regular issue about sex-ed but instead with this particular program. But i’ll see what I can do.
