One of the worst surprises I ever had was when a "newly acquired" beautiful blonde lover in college told me she used to "party" with Rick James in NY. I almost bought brillo pads.

I haven't decided if I should use it as an "example" of why my son should practice celibacy. I don't think it will make the right point.

Oh man, what a drag. Tell your son around HS-age about STDs (as a practical matter) and the importance of being a real man who can keep it in his jeans (as a moral matter).

Pull up James' history and early death (as with so many others). Maybe it will help. In the old days we didn't have the Internet as a source of info -- we had to use the very dated World Book encyclopedia.
