Instead of 3 lessons a year that talk about SEX/DATING, I try to talk about it as much as possible, sprinkling it in every week. Mainly, I try to make these "hot button" issues something that they hear about regularly in connection with Scripture and the church, so that there isn't a void in their knowledge about them, and so the church doesn't have to play catch up once it becomes mainstream.
