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

A generation that has no idea of the necessity of writing “Thank you” notes after a social event where gifts were exchanged or received has no business at an orgy.
I knew the writing of “thank you” notes after such a event would be more time consuming than not so I always declined invites to such soirees. Besides who does not dread that awkward “haven’t I seen you before?” moments already without bringing into just what you might have seen before into the mix?
Age of puberty has declined to approx. 12.
Age of typical first marriage is now in the 30’s (after we get a career on track and get the student loans under control.)
Is that a problem? Sure. HuffPo is proposing an absurd remedy though.
I married at 24 and my wife was 20. Not being Mormons, most around us thought that to be absurdly young. But perhaps that is a discussion worth having.
More than twenty years ago Rush Limbaugh announced that a member of his studio staff had converted the guest bedroom in his house into a place where his teenage son & son’s girlfriend could have safe sex without the risks of cheap motels or car backseats. The staffer’s name was Joel Santesteban.
Callers were outraged, especially one woman who was so livid that she couldn’t even say his name right and kept referring to “Mister Aldo La Screwerini” as a poor example of a parent. Rush tried to correct her but she kept fuming about how he should fire “Mister Screwerini!!!”
As Rush says, truth is always stranger than fiction because fiction requires logic.
When I had young impressionable children I wouldn’t let my 75 YO father and his girlfriend sleep in the same room when they came for visits. It would have given my kids the wrong message. I still won’t let my grown daughters and their boyfriends stay in the same room during visits. My house, my rules.
Oh, gee, I don't know. Maybe because of THE LAW!!!? Putting aside the amorality of it, does the phrase "statutory rape" ring any bells, you morons?
And don’t forget the community organizers ground forces who will be paid to offer instructions and register the participants to vote...democrat.
Yeah, I think the age of consent is what, 14 or 15 in Holland?
And one routinely hears stories of couples that were together for 50+years after running away together as teens because their parents disapproved.
There's got to be an approach to all this that is compatible with the spirit of conservatism. Turning a blind eye to what is happening right now among teens with respect to sex and pregnancy is going to lead to disaster. We're on our way to becoming a poverty stricken socialist 3rd world country that spends all its money taking care of the poor that go on to make more poor.
I think teachers that call for contraception in schools see this coming. They're on the front lines. They see the next generation. Many of them are out of control and wild making more young and wild kids.
I'm not sure contraception in schools is the right move, though, but something needs to be done and done quickly.
Heading towards Brave New World at warp speed.
So the huffpost is becoming more like cosmopolitan. That’s the nearest ariana huffington will come to ever being on the cover of cosmo.
Oh BARF!
Damn! Where was HuffPo when I was a teenager? The backseats of cars were just SO uncomfortable, especially the backseat of a Mustang.
LOL!
