A recent study shows "one in four (kids age 11 to 14) said that oral sex or going "all the way" is part of a tween romance." Newsweek's response? Nine tips on how to talk about about sex with your kids. With the age of sexual intercourse for my generation averaging at 16 and "only 7 percent of parents think(ing) their own child has gone any further than "making out", the topic is pretty relevant. The author suggests that parents figure out their own feelings before talking to their kids: "You know you don't want your ninth grader getting pregnant, but is oral sex OK?"Another Newsweek suggestion is "to buy a box of condoms and talk about how to use them—practice on a cucumber. A good laugh won't hurt your relationship."Kind of strange they don't encourage parents to tell their kids about unwanted pregancies, STDs that stay with you for life, or the fact that the teenage boy their daughter is dating now will probably not be the one she marries. None of the potential consequences of sex (physically or emotionally) are discussed at all! Feel free to play with the cucumber but I think kids deserve some real facts too.
I can't imagine there are many men in reality with phalluses the length and width of cucumbers. Better to use a carrot (after cutting off about half of it).
Also, sex is sex; oral or otherwise. So if I don't want my daughters to have sex, that rules out oral.
Besides, wouldn't oral sex with multiple boyfriends over time lead to some nasty oral STDs? While a girl may be "faithful" to one partner at a time, the boys are probably getting "non-sex sex" from other girls on the side, etc. |

So you're essentially admitting (the utterly OBVIOUS fact) that it's complete bunk that any significant number of teenagers are choosing to remain abstinent? I mean, if 1 in 4 pre-teens is engaging in oral sex, then what does that say about the post-tween demographic?
Of course, tell them about STD's, unwanted pregnancies, and the emotional toll of break-ups (as if you can learn that sort of thing vicariously!), AND tell them about condoms and birth control. More information, not less. |

Outside of committed holy wedlock is now shown to cause oral cancer..sadly..
Young men also now have a statistically high rate of cancer of every variety in their private parts..And recent studies have shown they're needing to, (no I could not/would not make this up), are needing to have such parts cut, or removed.. :^(
(This is recently published scientific and statistical data over the last year..)
Just go to google news and do a search on these things, and see for yourself..
And the stats are rising..
for every venereal disease..
Here's a link..or two..

But I would not take all Brits too much..
These are the folks who gave you:
"Should I do group spanking?" and
"I don't regret sex with my brother"
as stories, so..
You might want to inquire of Pam Stenzel. She's got some stats that would blow your socks..

our sweet sweet children from all this vile and disgusting drivel? I once enjoyed thinking of young people as those unencumbered and free to find out who and what they truly want to be. How sad sad sad that we have given them so much garbage to be preoccupied with. I personally will never forgive either of the low life Clintons for their roles in sex (or not) education of our young people. If they had any sense of goodness they would retreat quietly into the shadows not to be heard from again. Sex education today comes from warped minds. |

Looking at the STD rate on the college campus, and with two kid in college being aware of the chances they take, the most responsible action parents can take is to explain that when you sleep with someone, you sleep with everyone they ever slept with as well as risk telling yourself what you already know: it's a dumb choice.
You can't control your kids. You can lead by example and education. And a little fear goes a long way to. It worked for nuns with a brass ruler for many years! |

I think this would be a good topic for yours and Stephen's radio show. It would be a little dicey and you would have to be careful, but I think it would be a good format to really explain to the listeners what the Bible says about sex. |

Perhaps..
I placed some Bible verses here alluding to the coarse joke thing..But, I posted that as a courtesy for Christians seeing/listening
Apparently that got skipped for a brisk and frisky promo, (blog post, here..see titles)..
It was coarse, kind of, and sad..in a way..
I understand this is not *my* blog, but, at least, at the moment, I am able to post on here..
I understand the new radio station is conservative talk..Not Christian, parse. Though some hosts may claim faith..
I was saying to my Husband today that a message without the full truth, is somehow bereft of the power.
In other words, if a message is somehow compromised-for e.g. Christians trying to make a point, but either not fully saying it from a Christian perspective, or using a compromised way of saying it, will either appear weak and not true to some other Christians, or simply not fully be believed by others, because in so doing, they might not quite seem to practice what they preach..
I am not saying these guys aren't true in their faith, I think it is a source for their views, and what they write about-they believe..I think they have stuck their necks out to prove this..
I am not so sure one can fly with two crowds and make a pure definitive point without losing power at some point, and coming off compromised for the doing.
It seems one will lose in both. But not be successful in each..
Maybe I am all wrong..
But, that's how my family sees it.
I wish them the best and all..
But me here on my old backup lap-top, (some thug virused our best computer this weekend), I think I'm going to give Townhall..a break, or two..
I agree with most this blog has to say on moral points..
I am just not sure as to the recent ways of doing it..
