To me this is similar to asking, what came first? the egg or the chicken.
It is obvious that over the past view years there have been increases in sexual education(egg) but also 'increases' in sexual practices especially by the younger children(chicken).
Could it be that all the sexual education and preventative techniques such as; teaching the use of condoms to middle schoolers with artificial penis', introducing things like dental dams and having a conversation about various diverse sexual practices spur the interest and exploration of the young. We have come a long way from the ancient mentality where abstinence was preached and sexual practices were taboo to induce fear into the young. This also seemed to not work because it seemed to evoke the same type of exploration in people that is seen with the new method.
Bottom-line is that people will and always have been exploratory and always trying new things from a young age, experimenting however whenever they can. Therefore the idea that the increase in sexual education is causing more youth to involve in sexual practices has to be false. Instead it is a positive sign because the individuals who would partake n the sexual practices are now comfortable to discuss it, therefore opening up a forum to address possible disease prevention methods that may be unknown.
In other words the chicken came before the egg and individuals should try to have conversations with siblings, children ad family members about practices. Obviously not all people are comfortable talking about this topic which has arisen because of the old school stigmas that still exists. Maybe one day protection and comfortable dialogue will be in the forefront of everyones mind who chooses to engage in sexual practices.
PS the chicken did come before the egg, or at least that's what the scientists currently claim.
