God we fuck up teenagers’ heads. We tell them that biological conditions are moral punishments and then we get all shocked when they don’t practice rational risk management of biological conditions. We teach them “sex is super desirable and all the cool kids do it, and it’s hideously shameful and will destroy your life” and we wonder why they act an eensy bit neurotic about it. If you tried to design a system for making sexually active kids confused and unsafe, you couldn’t do much better than the American media and school system.
And for once, the answer is relatively simple. Just talk about sex like it’s a part of life. Some people have sex and some people don’t, because people are different. STIs aren’t bad because they’re Dirty Crotch Rot; they’re bad because they’re contagious illnesses like strep throat or whooping cough, and you can ask a doctor to check for and treat them just like you would with strep throat. Unwanted pregnancy isn’t a scarlet A; it’s a mostly-preventable accident that sometimes occurs when people are going about their normal business of having sex. You can ask the school counselor about a variety of topics, including career planning, problems at home, questions about sex, or conflicts with teachers.
If we could just get the goddamn stick out of our collective ass and accept that sex is a human activity and teenagers are humans, maybe there wouldn’t be quite so many plaintive “I don’t understand my body and I’m confused and scared and I don’t know anyone I can ask in person” messages flying out into the world.

‘Angel’ - Massive Attack (featuring Horace Andy)
because my favourite kind of sex is slow-build, emotionally intense, sweaty and really grindy.
How about it, followers? What’s must-have on your bedroom playlist?

Bruce Willis bought 12,000 girl scout cookies from his daughter and sent them to troops in the middle east and sailors.
…thus securing his nomination for Father of the Year!

*grins* i always loved Dr. Suess
I love this & I believe Daddy’s answer would be Yes
Spank her here? Spank her there?
I would spank her everywhere, I think.
Babygirl in nothing, Babygirl in mink,
I would spank her ‘til her bottom turned a rosy shade of pink.

Katelyn Campbell, who protested her high school’s abstinence assembly, and notified the ACLU after the school hosted Pam Stenzel, an abstinence-only sex “educator” who “tackles today’s tough issues of sex with candor, insight, humor, and the challenge for young people to get the abstinence advantage.”
Her principal responded by threatening to tell Wellesley College (to which Campbell had already been accepted), that Campbell is a “backstabber.” Wellesley responded with the tweet above.
GET. IT. WOMAN.

One High Schooler’s Fight Against Abstinence Ed: ‘If I Can Succeed In West Virginia, Anyone Can’
As George Washington High School’s student vice body president, Katelyn Campbell believes it’s her responsibility to stand up for her classmates. That’s why, when her public school’s administrators brought a conservative religious speaker to advocate for “God’s plan for sexual purity” at a mandatory assembly, the West Virginia teen began to speak out against the “slut-shaming” messages that she doesn’t want at her school. Now, after Campbell’s story has inspired strangers from around the country to offer their support to her cause, she has a message for other teens: Don’t give up the fight for comprehensive sex ed.
“No one should have to feel alone or afraid of repercussions for doing the right thing,” Campbell told ThinkProgress. “If I was able to succeed in the socially-conservative state of West Virginia, then anyone can.”
Really glad Katelyn stood up again that dumb bigot Pam Stenzel!! Yay! Now if only every school follows in her steps and fights for true education.
