Kids today! Could smartphones and social media be distracting them from sex?
A report on teen sexual activity released Thursday by the National Center for Health Statistics found an overall decrease in the practice of oral sex among 15- to 19-year-olds between 2002 and 2010. That finding reflected a similar decline in vaginal intercourse among the same group, according to health experts.

So that’s why you went with “wasted years”? ;-)
Hope I post this correctly. Very new to site.
Detective, your thoughts encapsulate the life I grew up knowing, and living.
I would say that it’s sad it’s come to this in our culture, but the fact is,...the culture(not as popularly defined) disagrees.
I grew up under the tutelage of an avowed catholic mother and an agnostic navy fighter pilot(whom I believe was closer to God than any man I have known...Though he would politely withdraw from such conversation).
I feel blessed to have entered my life thusly and look forward to perusing the information and knowledge I hope to gain here.
Oral sex....cant imagine life without it
But there is a time and place
Commitment......and mean it..
For certain. The blending of the sexes and the neutralization of marriage and sex within marriage as an admirable goal, permanent childhood, fear of commitment and real risk taking, etc. are all symptoms of the same disease.
We’re quickly becoming directionless moral cowards who cannot make or keep covenants. Without honor how can you have any kind of permanent culture. Let me get mine first, damn the consequences, leads to the kind of treachery in which you open the gates to Constantinople, in which Cincinatus doesn’t leave his plow and where Horatius doesn’t guard the bridge, but welcomes the enemy with open arms.
Liberalism is sick and hard to cure. I cannot find a major culture in history that embraced liberalism and then was able to peaceably throw off its yoke. I pray America can.
Hilarious movie, by the way.
Nobody over the age of 21 is young. They are fully adult. When your grandparents were growing up, 18 would have been considered fully adult, but people are generally juvenile nowadays. It’s why we have a man-child for president.
Uuummmm I think you have the concept mixed up....
OK. That's two strikes. A third one, and It's out.
Same goal as Islamism, same goal as communism.
That.... and some of these.
Exactly
Are you on a witch hunt to stomp out metal music? Because that’s what it seems like.
Just trying to enlighten you.
“Oral sex....cant imagine life without it.”
Oral sex at my house consists of the missus and me yelling “Screw you!” at each other from different rooms. 8^)
If you want to get rid of a certain genre of music, set your sights on rap.
I associate Metal with grungy OWS loons, not smart conservatives like yourself. Please just read the book. If after that you still want Metal, go for it.
Strong generalization of who listens to metal music. I know numerous conservatives who listen to Metallica (one of my favorite groups). Heck, a 60+ year old women at my old church played Metallica's "Fade to Black" on her accoustic guitar during a Bible Study.
Agreed; going with that, you probably couldn’t separate the good bands from the terrible ones.
I listen to stuff like Iron Maiden, Helloween, Pagan’s Mind, Threshold, Shadow Gallery, and things of that nature, the progressive/power metal side of things.
You’re probably thinking of the bands that get huge play on radio and TV.
