National Health Srvc (Britain):controversial school sex education campaign promoting an orgasm a day
The National Health Service of Britain has sparked controversy with their controversial sex education campaign promoting an orgasm a day:

A National Health Service leaflet is advising school pupils that they have a "right" to an enjoyable sex life and that regular intercourse can be good for their cardiovascular health...

...Alongside the slogan "an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away", it says: "Health promotion experts advocate five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes' physical activity three times a week. What about sex or masturbation twice a week?"

1. Provocateurs against any sex education would be my guess.
Including a fringe group into the discussion makes the position of education on the topic seem really bad.

3. from Times Online:“right” to an enjoyable sex life ;regular intercourse can be good for cardio healt
What's funny to me is how the right in the US would go berserk at this sort of education.
