That's why they want abstinence-only education.<BR/><BR/>I believe knowledge is the most important facet of safe sex. I tell my teenage girls that one day they will become sexually active and that they need to know what the dangers are.

We also talk about waiting until they are completely ready and the decision is not forced on them by someone else.<BR/><BR/>This is no way way implies that I am giving them permission to start having sex, but it is an admission that when they decide they are ready, I won't be there to stop them - the decision will be totally theirs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939571.post-90616087468771290202007-03-26T03:09:00.000-07:002007-03-26T03:09:00.000-07:00Purity balls are decidedly creepy in my view.

They promise to be "true" to daddy until some guy comes along to take daddy's place?<BR/><BR/>Does daddy get a dowry too?<BR/><BR/>I have spent a few hours reading St Jerome's writings about virginity. After that, I understand the feminist movement just that little bit more. lolbeepbeepitsmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12931640447011071849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939571.post-58825023333233415522007-03-25T22:44:00.000-07:002007-03-25T22:44:00.000-07:00Crikey, I can't figure out the trackback for this!...Crikey, I can't figure out the trackback for this!
