I remember seeing a picture of an 17-18th century “ring” for boys with inward spikes, so that when they went to bed they’d be trained not to have “sensual” dreams. Ouch!

Now that can be repackaged in some way by some religious crackpot if they can push this abstinence crap as a legitimate educational tool. I agree with Bluestocking…it takes two to tango. Make a wrist-to-crotch shocker as a form to keep the boys in check. If the collar works for Poodles, make it work for Peter!

Yes, but for how long? Five minutes? Ten minutes? A half hour? Until the pizza arrives? Until her parents leave the house? Until after her pants are off?

If this is Walmsrt’s idea of a joke, it’s pretty good.

I think that most people know me on this board as someone who at least tries to maintain a certain level of dignity and respect in her posts…but I have to say that at least in my opinion, this is utter tripe.

I can see I’m not the only one whose feminist sensibilities are offended by the fact that they only seem to be marketing these pants for girls (*bows to MissHusseinMolly*). If the people behind this campaign truly want to prevent teenage pregnancy, then they should be sending this message to the boys as well as the girls — because damn it, girls don’t get pregnant all by themselves!!!!

I do remember wondering recently how long it’s going to be before some chucklehead starts advocating the reintroduction of the chastity belt…because to my way of thinking, that’s just about the only thing at this point which is likely to have a high rate of success in preserving female virginity!

I have to agree with the posters who’ve already commented on the fact that the way in which the wording is placed on the pants — in big letters either across the backside and/or to one side of the crotch — is sending a very mixed message. Namely, “look but don’t touch”. For pity’s sake, why not simply make the message more honest — “Not Until Marriage”? Besides, if a girl doesn’t really see the point in preserving her virtue until marriage, a pair of pants isn’t likely to stand in her way — but if she does, then it’s her behavior and not necessarily her clothing which will prove that.

I thought Bill helped popularize chubby chasing more than oral sex. He made it much cooler to talk and be naughty to that young, slightly plump woman who you obsess over, but just don’t want to admit to it openly.

Then again, if Bill didn’t have Monica “shake on it” he would have saved himself a whole lot of trouble.

Oh, and it might be worth noting that The Netherlands has legalized (and strictly controlled) prostitution. The sex worker industry works very hard to educate people about sexual issues and safety.

Clinton helped legitimize oral sex. In which I am happy about.

Oh, I don’t know about that. I’ve always felt oral sex was a legitimate form of expressing one’s affection for another.

Just because some old, crusty and frigid Republicans can’t get any moderate-to-good sex for under $500 an hour doesn’t mean they should screw with teenagers, whose hormones lead them to curious and awkward sexual experiences for free. Some of these teenagers need it or they might become the lunatic politicians of tomorrow. Or worse yet, they learn about the birds and the bees from their fraternity and sorority “brothers and sisters”. Nothing says “Hi Mom and Dad” like appearing on “Girls Gone Wild” or a porno.

for the record:

true love waits is also a song by radiohead:

here are the lyrics:

I’ll drown my beliefs
to have you be in peace
iI’ll dress like your niece
and wash your swollen feet
just don’t leave
don’t leave

and true love waits
in haunted attics
and true love lives
on lollipops and crisps

just don’t leave
don’t leave

i’m not living, i’m just killing time
your tiny hands, your crazy-kitten smile

just don’t leave
don’t leave

read into into it as you will

Pregnancy rates per 1000 USA

And that was even funnier.

Nope. Homeschooled all the way, baby!!

bandwagon – try this:

Out of 1,000 teenage women in the United States 79.8 got pregnant.

Out of 1,000 teenage women in the France 20.2 got pregnant.

Out of 1,000 teenage women in the Germany 16.1 got pregnant.

Out of 1,000 teenage women in the Netherlands 8.7 got pregnant.

Capisce?

The Netherlands probably has the most sensible sex ed media too.
They basically tell teenagers, “Look, we know you are horny and are going to have sex. Here is how to not get pregnant or get STDs.”

Yeah, that will definitely deter a horny teen aged boy from “immoral” thoughts.

Okay, I’m a little late to this party (busy day), and haven’t read the entire posts (so if someone mentioned this, I apologize), but these nice little ditties are printed right where the “privies” are at.
So, imagine a teenager (or hell, for that matter, an adult), starring lustfully at a pair of t-shirt covered breasts, or a nice set of buns with “Love Can Wait” words across them.
Doesn’t that kind of defeat the purpose?
This country is so damn gun shy in regards to the natural instinct of sex, why even promote “abstinence”? Wouldn’t it have been more effective by marketing hats, or full length dresses with words on the sleeves?
Of course, some are offended by the copyrighted “Porn Star” strategically placed on clothing, but the same area that states “Love Can Wait” does not?
Damn, I’m confused.

StratRat Says: Nice try…Looking back on the last 7+ years, the one thing missing from the administration has always been the truth. You cannot suggest your silly ’stories’ without reviewing your king’s behavior. Yeah, Yoo was honest, Cheney is honest, Bush; yeah he is honest, Condi Rice; you bet – lots of honesty there…Geez, come on troll, you can do better than that, right

You should read a little more than the headline.
