Part of the problem is what you and Mecca are talking about. We've got a sex=sin attitude. But that's just scratching the surface. We've taught our kids not to think critically about anything at all. We've taught them that an education is nothing more than memorizing some stuff until you take a test. We've taught them that their own feelings sexual or otherwise are foolish. We've taught them that parents know what's best (but we all know that parents are guessing and have little to no more education than the kids). We make them stupid, and when they talk we realize how stupid they are and instead of fixing it, we ignore them. So they get louder. Eventually, they become stupid teens who rebel against their stupid parents, and they wind up engaging in stupid, extreme and risky behavior. Look no further than shows like "Jackass" and you'll see what I'm talking about. For many, that rebellion manifests itself with drugs and violence. Sex is the least of our problems.
