Pretty sure abstinence only education only really exists in America and maybe private schools in the west. Only countries that do that but worse is perhaps developing countries. Which only causes undue suffering. Dude I grew up on documentaries basically saying that, like seriously, no joke.
Scientists have been saying for longer than I’ve been alive that such an approach (abstinence only) is not only ineffective but actually harmful as it does nothing to reduce STDs and can actually lead to an increase of “accidental” sexual assault among teens since they may not be fully aware of their own rights/bodies. Not to mention a teen might have an undiagnosed condition that they may delay getting treatment for because they simply don’t know anything about human anatomy.

By all means stress abstinence in your kids if you want. That’s absolutely fine.
But to deprive them of basic knowledge about sex, sexual health and their own bodies is not only unethical but I’m pretty sure is considered a human rights violation by the UN
