Some say it is because many educational programs are based on the concept of abstinance rather than education about fertility and conception. I think that it is because people want what they want Now, and cannot foresee a better time to have sex. Everyone underestimates the effect of the moment on doing what they know they should do--condoms, tests for STDs and so on.
