A number of learners mentioned having learnt from the Sapler pioneer about the dangers of promiscuity:

a11b     "Teenager must wait until he/she gets a faithful partner"
a12b     "to avoid lots of girlfriends and having sex all over this world"
a20g     "They thought us not to have many sexual partners and to avoid peer pressure and we must focus on our school work than look at boys"
c43g     "now I’m not going to have sex with everybody"

However, the idea of avoiding promiscuity appears not to have become very salient for learners as a result of the Sapler programme. Instead, many more mentioned avoiding sex entirely.

Recommendation

Sapler should consider somewhat increasing the emphasis on avoiding promiscuity and somewhat reducing the emphasis on abstaining from sex, as learners are likely to experience this as a more realistic message.
