Another reason to buy your teenager a dildo…
As promised yesterday, another reason to buy your teenager a dildo if she or he is inclined to seek one out.

Vibrators and dildos
Some time ago a teenager at the church where I worked approached me and asked if I would take her shopping for a vibrator. (Although she didn’t know the word for a vibrator, she alluded to it with a bright red face…) I thought it was great, and so took her (with her [...]
Sex education and the young ones
Generally children under 9-years-old ask questions about (1) things they have heard and seen grown-ups talking about and doing and (2) things their friends have heard and seen grown-ups talking about and doing. So the long and short of it, if the child is asking, as the adult you have to answer because the [...]
On teenage moms
I have been thinking a lot recently about teenage moms.
I wasn’t a teenage mom myself - I was 21 when I got pregnant - but I looked like a teenager, and was often treated like a teenage mom. In other words, strangers felt they could make derisive comments about (a) my assumed inability to [...]
Presidential campaigns…

consensual
non-exploitative
honest
mutually pleasurable
protected if any type of intercourse occurs
She went on to list the four things that are needed in a relationship [...]
Continued proof that they do it better in France
The Voices of American Sexuality Magazine blog posted yesterday about an exhibit about sexuality directed at the 9- to 14-year-old set at the French museum Cite des Sciences. You can experience some of the exhibit in an on-line, English-language form: Sex - Wot’s the big deal?
Now, looking over the exhibition site, it is highly [...]
What a boy wants
Conventional wisdom suggests that teenage boys have one thing on their minds. And it’s not history class. Statistics that support this theory abound: Teenage boys have testosterone surges multiple times a day. Teenage boys think about sex an average of every 28 seconds. The theories go on.
A study was recently [...]
This I Believe…
Thank you to everyone for your great comments about my This I Believe series. I really enjoyed reading your reactions, and I’ve changed some of what I wrote to incorporate your good ideas. I’ve posted the edited series permanently on it’s own page so new readers can see where I stand.
If you didn’t [...]
