Rise in Japan teen sex ignites education debate

[dArKeR]

Sixteen-year-old Monami Okubo sees nothing wrong with sex before marriage.
"I really don't think there's any reason to wait," said the bespectacled first-year high school teen, wearing her school uniform as she chatted with friends in Tokyo's trendy Shibuya district. "It's not realistic."

Attitudes like Okubo's are troubling for Japanese policy makers alarmed by a leap in teenage sexual activity.

The debate pits those urging more detailed sex education against those who say schools are already far too explicit and some who want to promote U.S.-style abstinence-only education.
