Quote:Give everyone every vaccine and prophylactic they come up with that will prevent sex related problems because sex is here to stay.
Yeah, well I hope so, otherwise we'd be in danger of being one of the last generations of humans. I'm not worried about women having sex, and actually, as far as I'm concerned, it's their own business when and how and who they have it with.
What I was referring to was the sexualization of young girls that is happening earlier and earlier. I don't know if you have a daughter, but from about the time mine has been eight years old, I've had to search for clothes that didn't focus attention on the fact that she was a sexual being. And at eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve....until whenever it is she's ready to become sexual-she shouldn't have to dress like she is-but there's less and less in the stores these days for little girls that looks like it was made for little girls instead of post-pubescent women- take a walk through the preteen girl's section of a department store someday-or better yet Old Navy or the Gap.
And in terms of cervical cancer due to the papiloma virus, the earlier sexual intercourse begins and the more partners a woman has increases her chances of contracting the virus during her lifetime exponentially.
There are all sorts of pressures for girls to become sexually active before they're ready-the peer pressure to be a certain way is excruciatingly specific and unrelenting for adolescents these days. There are girls in junior highschools (12-14 years of age) having various forms of sex in janitor closets and bathroom stalls in schools- and it aint because they're feeling any "prime biological directive".
The changes in attitude and culture I was talking about are more about making it okay for little girls to look and feel like children as long as they need to-not outlawing sex. Although I think that we're seeing the repercussions of earlier and earlier sexual exploration in the advent of asexual and celibate young adults. I mean they've already done it all with everyone by the time they're eighteen. It's old hat-what else is there to look forward to?
