He's highlighting something important, but I think it's the phrasing that's garnering the downvotes.

The original comment didn't encourage high risk behavior or say anything about ignoring the risk of STDs.

I don't think I don't deserve them tbh, I was being super glib/lazy. I interpreted the parent as implying that was going to be "job done" for getting a child prepared and it struck me as odd.

Personally I would preach Condoms over pills (although I freely acknowledge they can fail, and indeed suspect it's even more likely when teens are the ones using them).

Its not one or the other, you preach the virtues of using both. I did that (condom and pill) with all my sexual partners before I got married and it wasn't uncommon among my peer group from what I saw.

Just like you can and should preach the value of abstinence and the consequences of sex to your teen while also teaching about safe(r) sex.
