The next time you are feeling frisky, but are pretty sure premarital sex is a sin, this Christian school in Australia has some suggestions for you. Mate.

Christian Schools Australia CEO Steve O'Doherty says horse riding, eating something new, blowing bubbles and playing ball without the ball are all better options than doing the deed. 

They were among a "101 things to do instead of doing it" pamphlet which was recently given to out to students at Caloundra Christian College in Queensland. 

Mr O'Doherty is surprised by the media coverage the pamphlet has received. "Christian schools teach that the safest way of protecting yourself medically and emotionally is to wait until a stable, married relationship," he told AAP. 

"It's hardly front-page news that Christians have that perspective." 

Mr O'Doherty said that while abstinence was the preferred option for children and teenagers, Christian schools taught a healthy message about sex. 

"We teach kids about safe sex, we teach them about the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases and what you need to do protect yourself against them," he said. 

"But we tell the full story too - there are emotional dangers in committing yourself to a sexual relationship and the best way to protect yourself medically and emotionally is abstinence." 

SOME SUGGESTIONS A QUEENSLAND CHRISTIAN SCHOOL GAVE STUDENTS TO DO INSTEAD OF SEX: 

*Blow bubbles in the park 
*Pretend you're six again 
*Look at clouds and see what you can make them into 
*Surprise your parents by cleaning the house 
*Have a water fight 
*Go fruit picking *Go to Macca's in formals 
*Make lunch for the elderly 
*Share a drink with two straws 
*Visit the RSPCA 
*Have a burping contest

First let me just go on record as agreeing with the Christian school guy that yes abstinence is the MOST effective way to prevent pregnancy and STD's. Much like leaving your car parked in the garage and never taking it out for a drive is the MOST effective way in which to prevent having a traffic accident. 

Second I would like to also agree that waiting until you are married would probably be great, if in fact that were conceivable in most cases.

Like my dear old mum used to say, "Sex without love is an empty unfulfilling experience. But as far as empty unfulfilling experiences go it is without a doubt the very best one."

However, and I don't want to be overly judgmental here, if in fact blowing bubbles in the park or cleaning your parent's house is a reasonable alternative to having hot monkey sex, you might be doing sex wrong.

Do you know what Alaskans consider a reasonable alternative to having sex? Having more sex!

Hey what do I know? Perhaps the Australians do it backwards. You know like how the water in your "dunny" swirls the wrong way, maybe they have sex backwards as well.

We don't judge here!

I guess I just assumed that a place referred to as "down under" would have some rather inventive methods for getting their ashes hauled. You know something that making lunch for the elderly could not touch with a ten foot Stobie Pole.

"Have a burping contest." Yeah right! Sounds like a great way to distract a bloke while you are off having a naughty with his Sheila.
