Don't get wrong I am not dismissing or trying to say it is wrong to have casual sex, but when you spread yourself around a group of men or women at a given period.... in this day and age is a dangerous thing.
It is about role modeling. Just like a young boy cannot really become a MAN unless he has a man teach him how to be one, same goes for a young girl who cannot become a WOMAN who loves and trusts a man in a relationship if she does not see her parents (or step parents) who are lovers...

How would a woman know truly that "experimenting" with every Thomas, Richard and Harrold does not help her own personal psyche. Besides, men travel and swing in groups all the time, go from one sorority sister to another, sometimes in differing sororities or not... And some men play these same women against each other--as an experiment... Some of these same women say turnabout is fair play... I didn't say I agree with that logic, but that is what folks say.

And danger does not fit into the game when folks are playing it...

I think many young women just get caught up from one guy to the next--a merry go-round--and they figure it out when it is too late, after they are pregnant, or have a STD, or raped. Some are sold on the fairytale fantasy read to them by their mothers. Do you think Snow White and Cinderella were ever upgraded?

Hayle, I just had to burst the bubble of a 4 year old this past holiday season, telling her these Walt Disney fantasy fairytales are not real... I think I made her cry... Moreover, I hurt when I asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, and she said "a princess-mommy". WTF a "princess-mommy"?

The advertisers sell these "princess outfits", with the shoes, etc. They even have the "Cheetah Girls" with plastic rings accessories!!!

So when you fellas are so ready to discount a young woman who has lost her integrity, remember, she probably did start off like my little 4 year old friend with full indoctrination... Better than any illegal pledging and hazing period any of the D4 could muster up...

I work with 6th, 7th, and 8th children and one day some of the teachers decided to split of the boys and girls to talk about sexual health after seeing a movie on HIV which I feel to this day the movie, not the topic, wasn't age appropiate. I am a firm believer that sex education in the schools needs to be revamped now and after carefully answering any questions the boys had after the film in regards to their body and sexual behavior one thing became clear, that children believe having multiple sexual partners at one given time is the norm. I wasn't suprised due to all the things their minds become polluted with from media influence to interactions with family and friends. Not to mention that one of there 7th grade classmates was pregnant at the time.

I am now working with the school to bring the parents and the department of public health into this so they can recieve some type of health education since the science teacher has yet to introduce subject of puberty to 8th graders (something should have gotten in 5th grade). You are right it starts in the home and with parents.
