  12. Discussion Questions • At what age are these acceptable for females and males: holding hands, kissing, petting, oral sex, masturbation, sexual intercourse, and anal sex? • Review suggestions to reduce teen pregnancy in the text (pg. 398-399). Discuss: would they work? Which would be most effective? Will any be implemented soon? Or are being used in your community? Would you support the implementation of these and how?
