@deathwarmedover: I think they transmit those adverts at frequencies that young people can’t hear. Instead when you hear those, they hear ads for nintendogs and coloured pencils with their names on and the likes.

I’ve noticed radio adverts on XFM London advocating the use of condoms. In that case, the audience could be any age whatsoever. Is radio is a “safer” place to speak to the masses about safe sex?

I wouldn’t view an under-18 clicking through a Facebook ad to an external website (The NHS, say?) dealing with safe sex to be dangerous in any way really.

@symspeakyourmind: I totally appreciate your stand on the subject. I think as a parent you absolutely have rights, nay a responsibility, to nurture in a way you choose to. I guess my point was more to do with the way a US-based organisation such as Facebook will impose their beliefs (and not only on sex education, but gambling, drinking, etc) on others, without due respect for those cultures in which it is operating.

Symptomatic of a society run on lawsuits probably, as you mentioned yourself, but it does seem a shame that, for example, the UK Government wouldn’t be able to engage with under-18′s in this way with an AIDS awareness campaign. At least not on the face of it, and not if it advocated the use of condoms as a preventative measure.

I’ll have to keep this in mind when I start my sex-ed series. It’s strange that I can’t explicitly aim it toward 16ish-year-olds, who are legally allowed to have sex in most states and many countries.
