Condom-free sex: the new engagement ring

Tuesday July 29, 2008

Categories: Culture, Decline and fall

A new trend in young America: "Sex without a condom is the new engagement ring," a youthful NPR sage advises.

"It shows trust, commitment and the prospect of a shared future," Pendarvis Harshaw says.

Coos a modern damsel in this radio report: "To have sex without a condom is to say that I trust you and I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Who says romance is dead?

Find out where these barbarians live, and run the other way with your kids. The sad thing is, where don't they live these days?

Scott Lahti: Albert Jay Nock and WFB are alive and well and living under the assumed name of Roland de Chanson, coming soon to a Theater Near You in - Roland's Song

LOL! That's good. And I never even got invited to the yacht. :-(

When I was a teenager, my Father took two of my friends and me to a movie called "Mom and Dad". As we walked into the lobby of the theater, we noticed that there was a nurse and a stretcher. We were amused at what we saw.
The movie consisted of showing the different kinds of diseases that one could get by not refraining from unhealthy sex.
The movie was so gross that it made us sick to our stomach. I even fainted.

I knew after that why there was a nurse and a stretcher there.
That movie made us think twice, three times, and longer about having sex out of wedlock.

The kids of today need to be informed of the results of having sex.

A fairly good percentage of kids still do remain virgins at 18. I think most of my siblings did. (I think all my siblings had pre-marital sex, but it was usually done between 19 and 24. I've not, but I've admittedly had less offers as a tiny disabled man)

After 18 the parents don't have much say, but I don't think it's that unreasonable to want them to at least remain celibate while they're "under your roof."

And remember kids, whenever you're trying a new food for the first time, always practice safe spice and use a condiment - otherwise you're absorbing the flavor of every other food that one's ever been cooked with...or, as former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop is known to sing with the spoof-troupe The Capitol Steps, in the refrain to a Beach Boys parody titled "Little Doc Koop":

"You don't know what it's got."

I agree - 18 years of all at least!
