In an analysis of reports made to the federal Vaccine Adverse Event
Reporting System (VAERS) since the CDC's July 2006 universal use
recommendation for all young girls, NVIC found reports of loss of
consciousness, seizures, joint pain and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. In a
separate evaluation of costs for young girls being vaccinated in private
pediatrician offices, NVIC discovered that parents living in the
Washington, D.C. area will be paying between $500 and $900 to have their
daughters receive three doses of GARDASIL.
NVIC is the oldest and largest parent-led organization advocating reform of mass vaccination programs.

Notice that it's 'parent-led', not physician- or scientist-led. These are the same people who passionately believe that autism is caused by vaccinations. I'd suggest checking with the CDC and the FDA before believing anything that comes from a crackpot fringe group. I consulted a PharmD and an OB/GYN about this and was soundly chastised for even suggesting that the NVIC was a reliable source of scientific information.

Personally, I've yet to see anyone actually make the claim that the vaccine will encourage sexual activity, but I see a lot of people assuming that people will oppose it for that reason.
This comment was actually made by another poster in this thread.

One of my sisters that works in a pharmacy said that this vaccine isn't good because it's actually injecting HPV into your body (like the flu vaccine) and if you don't have the virus in your body, then you'll most likely get HPV anyways... or something like that.
Untrue.
