New book on Milton Academy offers shocking insight into teens and sex

By Bella English, Globe Staff | August 20, 2007

There are startling scenes in "Restless Virgins" that are bound to -- and meant to -- shock readers. Three hockey players in a girl's bedroom. Clothes come off. Two of the guys hook up with the girl while the third watches and gives instructions.

Another scene: a girl performing oral sex on a guy in a campus chapel.

And another: "The three of them went at it for 15 minutes. . . . On the way home, Brady let Quinn take a turn with Emma in the back seat, then pulled over so the boys could switch places again." To the hockey players, "group sex acts were just like showering together after practice."

The teenagers were students at prestigious Milton Academy, alma mater to Kennedys and Rockefellers, T.S. Eliot and Governor Deval Patrick. The book, filled with such steamy scenarios, leaves the impression that many students at the highly selective prep school spend much of their time either engaging in casual sex or trying to.

It will no doubt create a stir on a campus that in the past two years has weathered a sex scandal, a controversial attempt to close its lower school, and the abrupt resignation of its head of school. Due out next week, the book takes seven pseudonymous seniors from the Class of 2005 and delves into the most personal corners of their lives.

But at least two of the seven subjects profiled have raised questions about the methods used by the authors and about the results. The two girls, who are now halfway through college, say they feel misled and betrayed.

Many hippies are now helicopter parents. How would they go about controlling this aspect of their children?

Scary thing is, back then a "problem" was a trip to the doctor and a prescription. Now a "problem" can kill you. Times have changed, and not for the better.

The best thing a parent can do is to instill their children with values. But at some point, all they cna really do is pray that the children will heed their words.

Of course, if the culture wasn’t so toxic, less people would be duped into this “lifestyle”.
