Again, one more little rant. I see so very much on here about "God's laws" and how we should live. What are these laws? Are you Amish, Orthodox Jew, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Hindu, or what?

If I guess correctly I'll bet over 90% will say "Christian", and yet that means follower of Christ and Christ didn't write a whole bunch of laws on sex. In fact, he didn't write anything. men wrote those stories decades after his death. The earliest being I believe Mark, which was still over 80 years after the Crucifixion.

So, we must be following the "old testament" law's huh? Or at least those you've picked and chosen for your specific needs, cause you don't actually leave the house and live apart from your husband or kick your daughter out when one of you is menstruating right? That would be silly. Oh, and of course you probably eat pork. Hmmm, might even have sex with your husband during your menstrual cycle. Oh dear, that's a big no no.

PLEASE! ALL ANIMALS ON THIS PLANET REPRODUCE IN SOME WAY! Most by having sex. Humans have sex. We are mammals. Why is it such a HUGE DEAL to simply teach your child from early on that there is nothing dirty or nasty about sex or the human body. Why not simply teach them that masturbation is a totally natural and pleasurable past time and can even help them out until they are mature enough to understand and handle sexual contact with another person.

But no, most Christians preach against the vile evils of masturbation, the evils of lust, the evils of the naked human body, and so on and so forth. Making everything natural, unnatural, just so they can feel pious and superior. Then little "Johnny" goes and get's his classmate preggers and picks up an std in the process! KUDOS Brother and Sister Christian! Your youngster is a parent at 14! Yay you! Your methods work!

Falcon3: Wow you're a jaded youngster, so now you've learned to hate sex, that it's not enjoyable and that it's the bane of your existance. I feel sorry for anyone who ever tries to marry you...that's going to be a completely unfulfilling relationship, spent in seperate beds, probably in seperate rooms etc. How horrible, not wanting to have sex with someone you love....that's not love.

Personally, I think the biggest reason teens begin to have sex too early and without any type of protection is because their parents are not involved and the kids have no activities that interest them. Being involved in extracurricular activities raises teens self-worth and self-esteem which then leads to them not needing to resort to sexual activities to feel good about themselves. I played two sports in high school as well as being involved with two other non-sports activities at school. I never really had the sex talk with my parents but I also knew I didn't need to have sex to feel good about myself. Its all in how children are raised.

falcon...did your parents put bars on your windows and have cameras surrounding every inch of the house?...did they never allow you to go to a party?....did they never allow you to go to school?

because the parents [excluding your case] rarely have control over doing that kind of thing...

[cause ive knwon many people [not myself, because its just plain gross] who've had some sort of sexual experience AT SCHOOL.

[i could list...but i think you'd rather not hear]

P.S.- To everybody who thinks that STDs and HIV/AIDS are somehow "Black" diseases...let's all keep in mind that HIV/AIDS started in the white gay male community. But my point is that HIV/AIDS knows no race, no disease does. Any disease can strike anyone regardless whether they are orange, green or purple.

OH COME ON! The reason for all this isn't some lost "morality" in the USA. There has been widespread teen and even tween sex, sexual abuse, incest, std's, pregnancies, etc. since this nation began! Humans are GOING to have sex! The only difference between now and 60 years ago is that people are a lot more open, women have a LOT more power, and being the "man of the house" doesn't mean you can stick it to your daughter or son or wife whenever you want because they are just your property anymore. NOW it's more likely to be found out, talked about, hashed out, cried about in the street and on television, and a jury of your male peers aren't going to smile knowingly and let you off scott free.

Morality my aunt fannie. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, is a fully industrialized high tech country with a HIGHER RATE OF STD's and TEEN PREGNANCY, and ABUSE, and RAPE than most western high tech countries. The big difference between those other western democracies and US? THEY ARE OPEN ABOUT SEX! And I mean they don't make the human body taboo, they don't try to regulate sex through "the power of God", they don't push abstinence only faith based sex ed (which has FAILED MISERABLY), and they don't think there is anything wrong with a kid seeing a woman's breasts at the beach. Here, we have skimpy clothing that is a lot more provacative than anything topless or fully nude over there in Europe. We censor movies and slap them with a NC-17 if they show a penis, but they can show a man decapating a woman or slowly cutting off someone's fingers with a chainsaw and that's cool! That's only pg-13 or R. After all, mindless senseless violence is ok as long as no penis or vagina gets shown! Those are naughty bits! Nasty nasty, sinful sinful!

Wow, no wonder Americans are so very screwed up in the head. IT"S JUST SEX! IT"S JUST NUDITY! QUIT MAKING SUCH A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT! Let it be seen, let the human body be understood, remove the mystery and you remove the thrill and taboo. GET OVER YOUR CHURCH LADY HYPOCRITICAL SELVES!

I know what your saying Ashley... Happens in the stalls from time to time. Its impossible for parents to be there all the time.

For all of you Zealots....there's a good movie to watch called ALTERED STATES. It's about the scientific research done back in the 60's and 70's regarding deprevation chambers. Basically you sit in a floating chamber with no light or sound, only your mind to keep you company. Basically it's like being in the womb again. Great spiritual movie where I guy reverts into an ape with pagan thoughts and ideas...shows you what self deprevation does to people...gee wiz isn't that what you're preaching, self deprevation? I also recall the catholics whipping themselves on the backs as they walked through plagued towns during the middle ages, and wearing braces with spikes on them around their legs for self mutilation in some religious zen type fashion. Hahahah...religion is funny that way, yet some of you still believe in its ancestery like it was much better "way back when".

I think it would be more humiliating not being able to date in high school but that's beside the point. Jails are full already with many who really don't belong there, you really want to fill them with parents who have kids who have had sex? Would you accept masturbation as an alternative or would that be forbidden as well? And you well know that not all of your friends had kids while in high school...come on you aren't fooling anyone

what is the world coming to that sex isnt reserved for marriage were turning it into a cheap way to fele good thats not special etween a man or women.
