This leaflet was inspired by one produced in
Iowa,USA. We ran a competition in Milton
Keynes secondary schools and youth clubs
and in one of the local papers asking for
people's answers to the question:
If you and your girlfriend or boyfriend
had
decided to wait before having sex...how
would you let the other person know you
loved her or him ?
Thanks very much to everyone who replied !
