Sex Ed: Comprehensive vs. Abstinence Only

The debate between teaching students comprehensive sex ed vs. abstinence only is unfortunately still going on, despite the fact that in the places where abstinence only is taught, teen pregnancy rates are the highest. In the U.S some of the state laws regarding sex ed are appalling: many states require or encourage abstinence only education. Some states require that if homosexuality is discussed, it must be discussed accurately, and only some states require that sex ed material is medically accurate. This is an issue I'm very passionate about and love to rant about. What are your guys' thoughts and opinions, maybe experiences with sex ed in the U.S. or elsewhere?
