Positive.org , Coalition for Positive Sexuality

We have a quick and easy online tour through the most important topics for teens who are sexually active now or just thinking about having sex. It's called "Just Say Yes" (en español: "Di Que Síí!") because we're tired of people telling us what we can and can't do. There's no preaching. No moralizing. Just the facts.
