Sex used to be taboo. Hell, I could count on one finger the number of girls in my junior high who were known to have given oral sex.
And that was the 80s. Nowadays, my nephew insists its a common practice among 13 year old girls.
Common. So, we have a society that is leaning toward more open discussion of and more open marketing of and more open acceptance of sex, which is just fine as long as you 1) acknowledge it and 2) also teach about it, both how to be safe and how to avoid it.
Instead we have our normal psychotic response to sex: society talks about it, is exposed to it in huge amounts (just marketing alone!), but 'officially' we treat sex like nuclear waste: yeah, it's there, but we don't want to talk about it, publicly assess it, or make any sort of issue of it. Maybe because our leadership is caught in some sort of time warp where kids don't have sex.
Our policies are socially retarded. There is so little official knowledge of the current state of scoety that, hey, most of us are in jail for drug offenses that don't mesh with reality, we go to war without any sort of rational cause, and we encourage our kids to have unsafe sex by pretending they don't have sex.
That's pretty fucked up, right there.--------------------------------- "You bring the weasel, I'll bring the whiskey." - kellnerin[ Parent ]
Also, regarding the oral sex thing .. I would bet quite a few girls who claim they give head aren't actually -- it's one of the few ways girls now can pretend to be relatively chaste (in the good way -- no penetrative sex) but not be looked down on (no sex at all which means you are too ugly/unpopular/prudish to get some). (This is very similar to teenage boys claiming more "conquests" than they have actually had.)"it's been a long time since i let self doubt keep me from doing anything. much to the chagrin of those who have to observe the consequences." -- 256[ Parent ]
