For cases of official wedlock, the girl's hymen would be legally broken by the priest or some local civic dignitary or minor royal, in a small ceremony attended by neighbours and the press. There is some suggestion that schoolgirls are deliberately becoming pregnant in order to create a being that will love them. Teachers can counter this tendency by demonstrating to them that they are already loved.

Teenage smoking has increased dramatically since campaigns to wipe it out started, while talk of banning foxhunting has served to make it hip amongst those of us who are fond of civil liberties. Rather than seeking to dissuade kids from having sex, the Prime Minister should encourage them to do it. He should talk graphically about his own love-life, and release nude photographs of him and Mrs. Borgia making the beast with two backs. I can guarantee that no-one, anywhere, will ever have sex ever again.
