I'm going to point out just this once that in Sweden, kindergarden (which is compulsory as far as I know) begins at age three. One of the many items included is learning to swim, nude, with as many of the parents there as wish to be or can be. Along with compulsory sex education that IS education (as in , this is how things work; here is the emotional medical, etc., impacts to be expected by most people most of the time) rather than politically or religiously motivated BS, these leave Sweden in an unusual situation; the rate of teen pregnancy is less than one tenth that of the US and hasn't changed in nearly fifty years. Ditto for the age of first sexual intercourse, almost seventeen years. Would that we did a fraction as well.
