Intimacy

Now here’s something you won’t hear about on this side of the Atlantic…A government sponsored program aimed at teaching teens “self-pleasure” techniques!

I think Spain should get the award for Progressive Health Care Nation indeed.

Of course, the religious parties are going bonkers over this – saying such a “touchy” *ahem* topic should be left for parents to discuss with their budding sexuality.

The target demographic is between 14-17 years of age, using pamphlets, etc. and also deals with issues of contraception and self-respect. Although the article doesn’t specify the “why” for this new outreach program, I’m assuming it’s to counter non-solo-teen-sex and lower teen pregnancy/STI rates.

Sounds good to me…At least from a logical adult perspective.

However, thinking back, I’m not sure I would’ve appreciated a cute-little government-made pamphlet trying to convince me that masturbation was better than “the real thing”. (Who are they kidding?!)

I can see these teens getting a good laugh out of it (maybe an actual pointer or two – “OK Ladies, now right HERE is where you’ll find your clit! You know,  just in case you’ve never noticed that super-sensitive spot on your body in the past 15 or so years!”).

Even worse, I can see teens taking pamphlets concerning the Other Gender (assuming they’re heterosexual) to get free sex tips on how to better pleasure their partners. It makes sense. If I wanted to know how to better pleasure my “boyfriend” and this pamphlet is made to teach HIM how to do it to HIMSELF, then wouldn’t it make sense for me to read THAT one instead? Yup. Yup.

So while I like the message and the forward thinking of this campaign, there might be some real-world design flaws that actually teach teens how to have better sex with Each Other rather than themselves – obviously undermining the actual campaign altogether.

Can’t “Win for Losing” I guess…*sighs*

***Other News Update*** I’m not sure what’s going on with this website-builder-guy I mentioned. I brought in one of my friends to see his new site and I think he was hitting on her…It was one of those situations where it could have been him just being “nice” – but afterward she asked if I’d noticed and we couldn’t decide either way – lol. Maybe I’ll bring her around more often just to see what happens between them Haha. So Bad.***

Don’t automatically assume we’re talking about all of you. Wet dreams don’t count. And for the unfortunate majority of you it’s difficult to get sex when you’re awake!

Most Responses from Men: “What?? I can’t go that long!”

Most Responses from Women: “Why? What did I do to make you angry?”

You know your life has become somewhat corrupted by society’s relentless need to “time-manage” things when it’s 10:05 on a Saturday night and your partner yells:

“Honey, we should’ve been having sex five minutes ago! If we don’t do it soon we’ll have to wait until next week!”

Yet even as bizarre as that yell may seem, many people will read those lines and laugh – not because it’s ridiculous, but because it’s True.

As technology continues to aggressively permeate every aspect of our modern-day Western lives, including our closely held sexual expressions, could a sex-tech backlash be just around the corner?

If you’re like most people, one of the most exciting parts of having sex is hearing your partner moan, sigh, growl, or talk “dirty” during those few moments of uninhibited abandon. Now wouldn’t it be nice to hear those vibrant and delicious sounds while you were masturbating? Wouldn’t it drive you over the edge with memories of their kisses, tastes, nibbles?
