Let the Fucking Begin

Now I know this fucks with truthiness The Washington Post article asks "Is Teen Sex Bad?" Here is my take on it, of course teen sex is bad, like anything you have to practice a lot to get good at it and you probably won't be that good at it until you are in your twenties or beyond these rules have to form my check list for rules for women I will date

1) No Republicans
2) No entry level talent
3) No "Daddy Issues"

But I'm digressing, I think the article is actually try to answer the question is sex bad for teens to participate in and not a critique of $killz.

On that subject I also have anecdotal evidence as I was once a teenager and I was having the sex and you know what. I was fortunate enough to have supportive parents in the fact they didn't take an all or nothing stance and realized a few things that the fucking abstinence only people don't get

1) That there is as strong possibility that I will engage in sexual behavior
2) That they raised me to learn how to make decisions for myself

My parents we not about keeping us in the dark, they were about making sure we knew that we would have to make many choices in life and wanted us to be well informed and know the risks, consequences and rewards of our behavior. I know of others whose parents weren't as open as mine and this led to ignorance, confusion and bad choices. That is not to say I've never made bad decisions growing up, but it wasn't because my parents withheld information from me, it was purely the a results of my decisions There was no problem with me sleeping over a girls houses in high school or college. There were no discussions of if you have sex you will burn in hell and get AIDS and have babies, there were instead discussions if you decide to engage in these activities you'd better know what the hell you are getting into and don't come crying to me saying "I didn't know this would happen"

The shelterers of knowledge would have you believe, that my parents raised a family of demons, when in fact, not a single one of us have been to prison or have illegitimate children running around. Instead we all have careers, are in good standing with society and pay taxes.

So actually this has taken a turn towards a thanks to my parents and since it is between Mother's Day and Father's Day, I'll end my rambling with a thanks to my parents for teaching me how make decisions and think for myself and for allowing me to wear my t-shirt to school that said "Protect Your Johnston, no how magic you think it is... practice abstinence, monogamy or use a condom"
