2/04/2003 12:34:00 AM | Brad Plumer Genitals, you say? Egad. I wasn't trying to sound the alarm on teen sex! I was merely trying to show that reports of adolescent frigidity seemed, well, premature. So I typed in "middle school sex" into Google (a favorite pastime these days) and lo, that article appeared. I figured we could discuss the article apart from its potential effect on concerned soccer moms. Apparently not. Well, then check out this, this, and this. Voila. Oral sex is on the upswing. Hopefully one of those links will prove acceptable and convince you of this. Otherwise I'll give up and promise to believe that the nation's children are, indeed, puritans. Anyways, the adjustment in sexual practices seems like a smart move to me. This way, the kids can have their fun, but still have something to look forward to after marriage. Neh? The influence of gay rights is another interesting theory. And I don't know how effective those "pathetic" rightwing abstinence harangues actually are. An interesting study conducted in 2000 suggested that schools are teaching real sex education to kids, even in ostensible "abstinence" courses. Hm. perma link |
