Nappy Dugout ...

The Washington Post ran an article today stating what most of us already know - teenagers have sex. The thing that caught my eye was that the article was emphasizing the increase in the amount of kids having oral sex. And here is the funniest part of the whole article - it's an actual quote -

Bill Albert, communications director for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, put the generational difference this way: "We used to talk about sex in terms of first base, second base and so on. Oral sex was maybe in the dugout."

I wonder if Mr. Albert realizes how funny this is?

I was pleased to read that this study also confirmed what many have known since the conservative groups have started pushing abstinence-only sex education - while these programs have successfully delayed young people in having intercourse, it has also led many of them to substitute other forms of sex which still leaves these kids at risk for gonorrhea, HIV, herpes and etc.

The study also revealed that oral sex is most common among white families in the higher-income brackets. Wonder what mommy and daddy will say when Muffy comes home with herpes or Chip tells them that it burns when he pees?

Wake up conservative Americans - when you only teach half the story - you only get half of the desired results.
