“When it comes to the riveting issue of how we should teach kids to practice sex – safely, or not at all, or some combo thereof – it seems it’s the adults who are consumed with sex, projecting their own obsession onto children, who have been denied the right not to know”

Only a CONSERVATIVE would promote something called “the right NOT to know”. We see it every day in every thing the Bush Administration does; it’s called ignorance. I guess Kathleen is blissfully happy in her little world with her right not to know what’s going on in real life.

Just yesterday, not knowing about any of this, I was recalling a Playboy cartoon by Richard Taylor. Gorgeous babe in honeymoon bed to her eager groom: “When I said I was against sex before marriage, I never said I was for sex after marriage.”

Ben is clearly obsessed with cross-dressing. You don’t suppose Armstrong talked him into this, what with his stories about boring straight sex?

Ben should look for Ivy League decadence a little closer to home. Harvard's Hasty Pudding Club regularly puts on drag theatricals, and has been doing so since about the mid-19th century. What, did Bill and Hillary use a time machine?

So having premarital sex is like chewing on used gum- it’s unpleasant, flavorless and sticky.

imagine how disgusting it is after you’ve been married for a while!

“…parents can’t do a proper job of teaching their children values, morals and what we used to call the Birds ‘n’ the Bees, and that government bureaucrats are the last word on human intimacy.”

That’s almost as good an excuse as Tom Delay’s reason for not enlisting for Viet Nam.

“If premartial sex turns “flavorless”, what about martial sex?”

I wanted to try martial sex, but my wife wasn’t up for all the gear and weapons involved.

“wormholes of ennui”?
OK he’s a crackpot but that is a fascinating metaphor.

If premartial sex turns “flavorless”, what about martial sex? Or does marriage magically make a sex great andnon-damaging?

Yeah, see, when you get married Willy Wonka comes down from the clouds and gives you an unlimited supply of Everlasting Gobstopper Condoms.

Pre-marital sex is the way you find out if you’re sexually compatible with someone. Otherwise, you’re quite likely to get divorced because your beloved is a lousy lay.

I guess I’m just not the “lie back and think of England” type.

Kathleen, I thought about sex constantly from the time I was about 12. It was hormones, not adults who forced me to think about IT. But don’t worry your pretty little head, the stupid movie they showed at school in 5th grade didn’t make any sense to me because my family had special names for private body parts. I was so confused. So I asked my mom to explain it. She said, “Didn’t you see the movie at school?” She explained again, also using the correct names for parts of the body. Finally, Mom had to say (after taking a BIG breath), “ok the…penis…that’s the tallywhacker…” And so on, but without a reference list, I was still lost. I finally had mercy on her and told her that I understood and figured I’d better make a trip to the library.

See, Kathleen, that’s the way it was in the good old days. In a class of 18 kids, 8 of whom were girls, only 2 got pregnant before graduating.

ok, sometimes wingnuts are just opining harmlessly, but Kathleen is suggesting something that could only serve to

Left to their own devices Kathleen, parents will not all teach their kids anything safe. so by not teaching safety in schools, we shoudl allow the pressures of society to affect the kids WITHOUT knowledge of sex?

See, there was mystery and awe in sex when you were young and didn’t know about it and had to figure it out from a mix of bible study and rumor, Kathleen. but see, when you were a kid, there wasn’t this thing called AIDS.

what. a. tool.

That’s the umpteenth column little Benny has written about cross-dressing. Wonder why he’s so obsessed with it?
The outstanding irony of this column is, the festivities he described actually sounded like a lot of fun.
Hmm…could it be the reason he’s so bothered by them is because, secretly, he wants to join in?

I thought the way Armstrong Williams was able to abstain from premarital sex was by fucking guys (which, of course, isn’t “sex,” just as receiving a blowjob from a woman isn’t “sex”): http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=536

“Then she added, ‘Unless you’re Ben Shapiro.’”

That’s not fair. That one wrote itself.

I think S.Z must have taken that Bill O’Reilly cruise. Right now, she’s probably out in the pool, drinking her ninth texas maragaritta and telling sex jokes to Rick Santorum (“And then the captain says, ‘Caymen, my ass!’… get it?”).

Also, for the record, I only sent Armstrong those greasy thong pictures as part of my deal with the Department of Health and Human Services to promote their abstinence-only program.
