No, no.
Don't feel bad that you IMMEDIATELY continued reading. (Ya nasty)
But seriously -- it seems like there are a million different ideas and people advertise a million different morals when it comes to teens and sex. Yeah. I said it. It's not even a shocker anymore.
The one constant about sex these days: IT'S EVERYWHERE.
And with these two examples coming up, I iz nat surprised that our generation is struggling to make sense of it, either by brushing it off or scrambling for chastity belts.
Exhibit 1: Abstinence is the New Neck-Scarf-Thing
So there's this magazine. It's called Just for Girls (& yep, there's a J4Guys, too).
It's available online, totally free, and it's main focus?
Keepin' ya pants on.
You'll learn How to Dress Modestly, the Top 10 Ways to Say "NO" (including the popular "No."), and if you're really into psychological word play, you can play the J4G Crossword Puzzle!
10-letter phrase for "Couples that 'lives together before marriage'"?
HMM.
"Burn in hell" fits right in there, look at that.
That's weird.
Exhibit 2: JC Penney is cool with teen sex. In/out of their clothes.
Please, please check out this highly intellectual NATIONAL TELEVISION commercial from the reasonably-priced folks over at JC Penney.
Dang! I didn't get the memo, but apparently, "Today's the day to get away with it."
SWEET.
See? Now everyone can calm the eff down about teen sex being a "controversy".
Because JC Penney says, as long as you're buying and taking off their 8-pack cotton undies, teen sex is totally fine. Fun! Adventurous! A skill you must practice, even!
& So is lying to your parents. That's pretty cool, too.
These are just too good.
THE QUESTION: Have we gone too far in encouraging, discouraging, or even addressing teen sex in the media?
Is it or is it not none of dey bidness?
What the hell is JC Penney doing giving me sex advice?!

I don't know, hearing of other friends having sex has become a daily thing for me. I'm not surprised. Studies show that high school is usually the time when adolescents lose their virginity.
And what the hell IS jc penney doing giving teens sex advice?! I don't know about you, but I'm a little iffy about strangers telling me to go on and have sex. But hey, you don't see adults (at least in my family) encouraging sex, so hooray for something new! I've even heard the myth that "teenage sex causes blindness." WTF is that?!
