“The SOGC does not encourage young people to have sex,” cautions Dr. Sheila Dunn, a family practitioner at Sunnybrook and Women’s College Health Sciences Centre and medical director of the Bay Centre for Birth Control. “However, if someone is considering sexual activity, they must learn the basics of safe sex to protect their health and that of their partner. Published findings by the World Health Organization show that young people will tend to postpone sexual activity, and use contraception appropriately, when they receive comprehensive information in their formative years.”
