Sexual News

Ok, honestly girls, how often have you been at a bar and heard this?  — >> “Hey Baby, how about we go back to your place and…cuddle.”

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.***

One of the questions scrolling past your processor might be: “Who’s Ardi? Sounds like a stock broker.” To be honest, I don’t watch very much T.V., but the other day I saw a Discovery Special on Ardipithecus – to date our oldest up-right walking ancestor by about 4.4 million years. Like all new discoveries Ardi had many notable features that puzzled scientists, but two of the most intriguing were that it lived in a forest and had small “K-9″ teeth (you know, the Vampire teeth).

*The fog rolls into the room through the opened balcony door. The moonlight illuminates the mist and lends to it an ethereal form as if someone, someTHING were shrouded within it’s enveloping folds. Then, startlingly, quite unexpectedly you feel the brush of lips against your ear followed by the warmth of my breath as I speak*

“I’m back, baby. Did you miss me?”
