The idea for an AlcoholEDU-like sex ed program is a great idea that I've thought quite a bit about too. There is an enormous disparity in sexual knowledge among students and everyone should be brought up to speed if their previous educators failed to teach them about the birds and the bees. I think the most appropriate time to begin sex ed is when any of our classmates are beginning puberty. My class began sex ed in fourth grade which was the earliest any of the girls in our class began to have periods. To not teach girls about the changes going on in their sexual organs when they're taking place would be irresponsible and the same goes for boys (but they usually enter puberty a bit later). These early sex ed classes were divided by gender and were age-appropriate. I thought my school did an excellent job addressing sex ed as part of our overall health class curriculum each year and I wish everyone had that. Anyway, I'd like to invite anyone reading this who needs more information on birth control to come to Princeton-Pro-Choice's information table in frist Thurs and Fri 12-5 and a Friday movie night 7:30 in Frist.

While I disagree with your overall conclusion, you're right on target when you point out that Sex on a Saturday Night makes the presumption that everyone is having sex, and in particular, the kind of sex portrayed in the play (one-night stands, alcohol-fueled hookups).
