HuffPo Blog Encourages Teen Sex Sleepovers to Parents
NewsBusters ^ | August 16, 2013 | Katie Yoder

Forget traditional sleepovers full of facials and chick flicks, sexual sleepovers are the latest fad – or so The Huffington Post Blog says.

The Huffington Post’s Soraya Chemaly asked parents in her latest article, “How Do You Feel About Sex and Teenage Sleepovers?” She argued that parents should encourage them, unless they “just like porn and think it's a fine substitute.” Chemaly schemed, “Why would you create a situation where your children are forced to hide, sneak around, be dishonest, be uncomfortable, take unnecessary risks and make uninformed decisions about their physical and emotional health?”

Drawing inspiration from the book “How To Think More About Sex” by Alain de Botton (perhaps more well known for authoring “Religion for Atheists”), Chemaly built her argument. “Why not teach children,” she asked, “how to have sex well, the way you teach them how to do other things?”

The Huffington Post piece is actually mild compared to Amanda Marcotte's more influential USA Today column, "Teens and Sex in Dad's House," which cannot be posted on this site. The link is here.

If people were wondering what the next leftist "liberation" cause is likely to be, we may have found it.

These used to be called “orgies”. And forgive me, but “they’re going to do it anyway” sounds a little weak when it comes to orgies.

You can find nearly identical articles in Readers Digest back issues from the late 60’s/early 70’s.

Which pretty much explains how we got to where we are today.

I remember back around 1980, my mom would shake her head in disgust at the sexual openness and say, "Before long, they will just set up a couple hotel rooms in the High school for the teenagers to use."

I'm thinking she might have only been a few decades off. I wouldn't put it past some lib kook to propose every school have an "Exploration Room" where kids can explore their sexuality with individual or group of their choosing. Since according to libs, your "right" to sexual freedom is the most important right in existence and shouldn't but up to the whims of uptight moralistic parents.

Wasn’t Readers Digest just a conglomerant magazine of other magazine articles?

I don’t think they had much of thier own content did they?

I was a teenager when the film Endless Love portrayed a Brooke Shields sleeping with her boyfriend at home.

Our initial reaction was, "pretty cool!"
Followed by, "and kinda weird!"

And people wonder why so many prospective parents are taking a pass on having kids.

RD went through this weird period where they would select articles to the right of Genghis Khan on foreign policy and defense issues, and from the streets of Haight-Ashbury on social issues and sexual mores.

Huff Post etiquette also calls for the progressive parent to provide marijuana, some alcohol, condoms and easy referrals to planned parenthood. Brownies optional. Decadence on display.

It would be nice if somebody wrote
“How to connect your loving heart with your horny body”.
“How to take other people seriously, and quit using them.”
“The real value of sexual purity”
“How to get people who don’t know what innocence is and why it is important to shut up.”

Given that this is a Leftist article, the choice of words is probably intentional...

No...that will be when parents are encouraged to ‘join in’

Any idiot who touts the Netherlands as a great example of the joys of sexual liberation for teenagers is a jackwad of the first degree. The Netherlands is rather infamous for their tolerance (heck outright affirmation)of pedophilia.

In the distant past, teens would have sex in dad's house, but as a married couple, and any children that were created were quickly integrated into a larger family. The young couple would eventually leave the home to build their own, but for a time, they lived with a parent.

Wealthy European families would sometimes call on a young man of good stock to be with a daughter so as to insure her coupling would yield a healthy, intelligent child. Left to her own, she might join with a lesser boy.

Even today a similar thing happens in some countries under an arranged marriage system.

I'm not sure what the answer is. My feeling is that any new social rules ought always be made in such a way that they harmonize with God (or nature, or higher power, etc).

I know that anything is preferable to what we have now -- girls and boys making kids they can't take care of, that go on to make more girls and boys they can't take care of. It's out of control and the country is filling up with base born products of base beds. Chicago is full of out of control youth that are killing each other.

Adults need to be more involved with guiding reproduction and sex because teens, if left to themselves, are not always going to make the right choices, and society at large will pay a price.

"....the way you teach them how to do other things?”

I don't teach them other things with everybody naked, grinding and bumping against each other, thank you very much.

Intellectual dork.
