I consider myself a sexually open person. If it involves two consenting adults, more power to you, who am I to judge? I also have pretty substancial opinions on the lack of education and open discussion relating to sex, especially in this state. All of that being said... what the HELL is going on with today's youth?
Here I sit in a coffee shop, attempting to read a book about leadership and I can't help but overhear the conversation going on amoung a group of teenagers.
Teen 1: Dude, did you hear what happened with John at the party?
All Teens: NO, what?
Teen 1: Well he was having sex with Suzy, but it only lasted like ten seconds so Suzy went downstairs and got another girl so she could get off.
All Teens: WHOA Dude, HAWT!
Teen 1: Then, Mike comes up and has sex with Angie in the same room with Suzy and the other girl getting off.
All Teens: Wow, awesome
Me.... VOMIT.
Now do I have issues with any of these acts (girl on girl, boy on girl, boy on girl with girl on girl), no. What I take issue with is the following statement.
Teen 2: Did you get the homework done for Chemistry. Dude, one more year and we are done with highschool.
Ick. This is where my problem is.
I was lucky. My first sexual experience was while in a very serious and committed relationship. I was able to experience sex for the first time with someone I trusted and loved. I am well aware that this isn't always the typical experience. I wish it were different. While I do believe sex is a biological need, it is always much better when you are in love. People can argue with me and that is fine, I'd argue they've never experience sex while in love.
Highschool kids have sex. I know this. I understand this. I don't necessarily agree with this. While I am open to people having sex, I am not open to someone under the age of 18 having sex with a boy, then a girl, then another boy or girl. This isn't healthy behavior for a teenager. We all mature at different rates but is anyone at the age of 16 or 17 mature enough for kinky sex?
Was this going on when I was in high school? Probably not. What is the difference now from then? It's not like I am ancient. Hell, I am not even 30 yet. What happened to our youth that promiscuity is the new cool? Or maybe the difference is I was surround with a great group of friends who had morals. Or that I was in a great relationship with a boy who didn't pressure me to have sex let along swing from the fan sex.
Weird. Or maybe I am just prude.
