I came across this poster that was launched as a recommended ideal set-up for “teen-friendly” reproductive health visit. It was put forward by American agency- Centre for Disease Control (CDC).

And it is now being adopted and promoted by the likes of International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) in their various affiliates around the world including Africa as can be seen here the poster was tweeted by the IPPF-African Region (IPPFAR) .

In other words, this “model” sexual and reproductive health service designed and recommended by CDC for teenagers has already been incorporated into the IPPF framework for their African projects.

So after carefully thinking about and going through the poster, I decided to write about it just as an attempt to unravel the distorted and depraved casual sex ideology behind it.

The poster features 2 young teenagers – Jason and Anita.

Jason’s Journey:

When a young teenager -Jason (most probably a secondary school student who could be as young as 13 years old) walks into this teen-friendly facility

-he is promptly informed that as a teenager he can get sexual health services without ever worrying about paying (it’s all free for teens so as to allow them the freedom of carrying on their worry-free sex lives).

-when the young teenager tells a counsellor that he has a girlfriend but they do not feel ready to have sex,

the “counsellor” magnanimously replies to this boy who is not yet sexually active that healthy relationship is “important” and that he (who could be as young as 13yrs of age) & his girlfriend can come to the clinic anytime for birth control, for STD tests and also with (most probably sex-related) questions- who needs parents when we have the sex “experts and counsellors” offering our children all the answers they could want.

So of course young Jason, after getting enough encouragement and incitement by the sex counsellor texts his young teenage girlfriend to come into the clinic for a her own visit and “expert” sexual advise.

Who knows, maybe they can then go on to become sexually active teenagers.

Some sobering Facts:

-New CDC estimates show that there are about 20 million new sexually transmitted infections in the United States each year.

-Young people age 15 to 24 account for 50 percent of these new STIs, although they represent just 25 percent of the sexually experienced population.

-HPV (human papillomavirus) accounts for the majority of prevalent STIs in the U.S.

-Condoms offer little or no protection against HPV.

-The U.S. has the highest rate of STD infection in the industrialized world with 1 in 4 teens in America contracting an STD/STI every year.

To think that this is only the physical damage of the hyper-sexualisation of the youth, the psychological damage is even bound to be more dramatically devastating.

This is a social, cultural and health epidemic.

And yet, it is in the middle of this heart-wrenching epidemic that the CDC is encouraging “teen-friendly” sexual service outfits.

Anita’s Answer:

For another teenager Anita, she comes into this teen-friendly service and gets immediate appointment without any delays. What a swift service!
-She is a teenager who is sexually active but admits to the sex counsellor that she doesn’t use contraception.

What does the sex counsellor say to her?
-She “educates” young Anita on how important it is for her to use BOTH a condom and another form of birth control every time she has sex in order to protect her against pregnancy and also against STD’s (hence the condom).
-She then generously gives young Anita free condoms (which by the way will not protect her from incurable HPV).
-The counsellor then helps young Anita to choose an “ideal” form of contraception – implants that will last 3 years.

The same implants that (according to research) can cause depression, anxiety, nausea, dizziness, dermatitis, ovarian cysts, pain, itching or even infection at the site of the implant.

As Anita leaves she calls her friend to share the “joyous” news that she now has an implant that will last her up to 3 years.

That means 3 years worth of sex with some random teenage boyfriend that may not even respect or care for her.

However, no thanks to this CDC-recommended teen-friendly sexual health service, Anita will now be sexually available every day of every month for the next 3 years.

What a sad sad reality that teenage girls in the western world are being shackled in this way with implants, pills and devices that could easily harm them physical and most definitely harm them emotionally.

This is the best that the modern developed countries have to offer us- sexual licence for all, moral decadence institutionalised into healthcare, sexual freedom that trumps every other civil liberty.

This is no freedom! On the contrary this is slavery, sexual slavery which is now leading millions of young people into depression, desperation, darkness and yes, even death.

I don’t know what you believe about contraception or where you stand on sexual morality. But I have enough faith to believe that most of us want to protect our teenagers from physical and emotional harm.

We want them to grow up with the dignity that they deserve, we want them to know that they are precious and loved, not as sex-objects but as wonderful human begins who have so much potential to bring joy and light to their world.

So I would dare to say that these so called “teen-friendly” sexual and reproductive services emanating from the western world should be boldly challenged because they are reprehensible attacks against the innocence of our youth and children.

The most incomprehensible thing about this is that the same people who are vociferously critical of child-marriage in places like Africa, are the same people who are funding and fuelling these sexual and reproductive health projects aimed at the hyper-sexualisation of children.

From one side of their mouths they say “we want to end child-marriage in rural Africa!”, but from the other side of their mouth they say “dear teenager here is a box of free condom and a 3-year implant to enable you to have as much sex as you crave!”.

This is hypocrisy at its ugliest and we should not let it continue to destroy lives in our civilised communities, neither should we let them bring this depraved culture of casual sex into any African nation lest it sever and shred the faith and family values that form the basic fabric of the African society.

People of goodwill, let us resolutely reject this toxic ideology being radically propagated by the wealthy western elites who believe that a condom in the hands of a teenager is worth more than a good education.
