"Say what?"
But, you paid for it. You might as well read about it.
the effect that slick willy (bill clinton) had on our culture is finally starting to wear off.
quote “The report, “Prevalence and Timing of Oral Sex With Opposite-Sex Partners Among Females and Males Aged 15-24 years: United States,” was based on interviews with 6,346 young adults. Among other findings, the study found that in the two decades since 1988, the percentage of female and male teenagers who reported ever experiencing intercourse declined from 51% to 43%”
hm... anyone else find it hard to believe that only 43% of young people have had sex?
I didn’t do any of that when I was a teenager, and I don’t do any of that now in my mid-20s. I have friends and hobbies.
So many comments I’d love to make but I’ve never been suspended on FR and I don’t intend to start now.
In STL, one of the local news channels has a segment call, "You Paid For It". The segments' premise is to expose all the crap that the local tax payers are paying for. It's quite good and informative. However, like this article, it will make your head explode due to all the dang wasteful spending on crap things.
One powerful cultural trend right now is that millions of young men are holed up in their rooms, or in their friends’ rooms, playing video games.
Not only does that mean that they’re not engaged in cavorting with the gals, it means that they’re missing everything else that healthy active people do, like work.
It’s an alternative universe, and there are a whole lot of young men living there. They have no people skills. It’s the western version of China’s One Child policy.
"Reported" is the key word. Most likely in the last ten years, teens have learned these are stupid surveys and lied on the questions.
"Say what?"
Less oral and less vaginal - they’re going to the butt.
While gonorrhea is not usually fatal and condom use offers some protection, it's an ugly disease that now may not be easily cured by a shot or bottle of pills. Gonorrhea of the throat is currently increasing among male homosexuals and concerns about the disease may spell an end to capricious male-female oral sex.
They are distracting some of them from LIFE. That's all some kids do when they're awake. And they probably have earbuds in all day, too.
Ever see a teen out to dinner with the family. Ear buds and phone, ignoring everyone, buried in their own little reality? The parents usually do nothing. "Family stuff is just so--boring!"
I taught my children strong spiritual and tradition values. I taught them to be responsible for their personal decisions and to not be influenced by peer pressure. I also took my family to mass every week and regularly encouraged my children to live their lives by strong traditional values. My wife strongly encouraged our daughters to have moral values and to respect themselves.
All of my daughters were virgins in their teens.
I taught my sons to be gentlemen and to by considerate and respectful of young women. I told them to never feel they had to impress their friends by being sexually active.
All my children thanked me and told me they respected me for taking a strong moral stand.
Many of their classmates became pregnant and/or contracted sexually transmitted diseases.
This article from the Washington Post gives you an idea of the attitudes among young people in the area when my kids were growing up.

One of the better ways to dissuade premarital sex is to teach children about venereal diseases and their effects. A little bit of bacteriophobia is good for them.
This means Planned Parenthood is failing.....thank goodness.
(With apologies to the late Gilda Radner,aka “Emily LaTela’’) “Whats all this talk about ‘’oral sex?’’ Who goes around talking about sex? I’m mean, it’s a personal thing. I don’t wanna hear about who is doing what behind closed doors, after all.. it’s what? Oh. Oh My! Never mind.’’
Oral sex....cant imagine life without it
But there is a time and place
Commitment......and mean it..
