"Just say no."

If you attended public school anywhere in the Midwest or South, regions collectively referred to as the Bible Belt, it's probably safe to say you are familiar with this position on sex, drugs and alcohol.

In her study "Sex, love, and autonomy in the teenage sleepover," sociologist Amy Schalet examined attitudes towards teen sexuality in the Netherlands compared to those of the United States, highlighting the acceptance and progressiveness of the former.
