if you want a reminder of how sex-negative our culture is you just have to remember that that are countless parents who refuse to let their kids get the HPV vaccine because they’re afraid that it will make them think that it’s “okay to have sex”.

because the possibility that their teens might have sex is more horrifying to them than the possibility that their kids could contract HPV, a currently incurable virus that can lead to many other health problems later in life including cancer.
