Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Be fruitful and multiply is the only commandment mankind hasn't broken.

When God told Adam and Eve to be fruitfull and multiply we find out that it is within the bounds of holy matrimony between one man and one woman.

Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

God has ordained sex within the confines of marriage.

Sex outside of marriage (fornication), sex with a partner that is not your spouse (adultery), sex with animals (beastiality), and sex with the same sex (homosexuality) is all sin in the eyes of God and will keep a person out of heaven.

So teaching abstinence is the best way to practice safe sex. Bythe way, 1 Corinthians 13:4 says "Love is patient"...which means, it can wait.

For the Christians who cannot contain themselves every Christian man should have his own Christian wife and every Christian woman should have her own Christian husband.

Let's get America back on track.
