Super-Size This!

["The way sex is talked about, it's so casual, like it's an everyday thing, like going to McDonald's."]

[I realize National Purity Day is aimed mostly at teens, and the constant barrage of sexually related material is problematic for younguns who aren't ready for sex, but given my druthers, I'd rather sex were an everyday thing than going to McDonald's. Does that make me a pervert?]

[Doesn't calling it "National Purity Day" perpetuate the idea that sex is per se dirty? We might ask ourselves instead why teens (and adults, for that matter) aren't making responsible sexual decisions, rather than hopelessly trying to clamp a lid on the whole thing, sticking our fingers in our ears and chanting my favorite limerick:]

["There was a young lady named Wilde
Who kept herself quite undefiled
By thinking of Jesus
And contagious diseases
And the dangers of having a child."]
