"I was personally shocked how casually young people treat oral sex and how it's considered much less intimate than intercourse," Couric told The Associated Press Tuesday.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/26/tv.katie.couric.special.ap/index.html.

ok well I wasn't getting any blowjobs when I was in junior high school but I was also pretty introverted and shy. But seriously, fuck, IS THERE NO OTHER SERIOUS NEWS to report? I refuse to believe more kids are having sex now than in, say 1968.

Couric became passionate about the subject after hearing "horror stories" of teens having sex at early ages

Oh, the horror! The sucking! Oh my God I can hardly take the sucking! And oh the fucking! Jesus God there's so much fucking going on! Oh and the exchange of fluids! The tender young bodies mashed together, sliding, sweaty, against one another! And then the release! The delicious release!

Oh, I'm done now. I just came.

After all the sex talk -- Couric learned "friends with benefits" refers to sex with friends without commitment --

This "OMG junior high kids having rampant oral sex OH NO!!!!" story has been a 'concern' for, like, what five years, at least? Wasn't there a Dateline or 20/20 thing about it awhile ago?

I saw Couric on the Daily SHow talking about this "There this thing called being 'friends with benefits'!" Honey, please come out from whatever rock you're living under.

― Zack Richardson (teenagequiet), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I always think these stories are weird, because everyone I knew growing up (and this goes today) considered oral sex more intimate than penetration.

You could have a drunken/one-time encounter with someone and hey no big deal as long as everyone's protected. But oral? That meant a connection, man.

We all KNOW how to masturbate, it's not like a form of aeronautical science. The main thing was, at least in my school, was that we REFUSED to under the statement that if we wanted to get off, we could TOTALLY get a man so that was SO GROSS. Oh haha the cruel trick played when everyone realized that girls aren't actually going to have orgasms having sex with guys under the age of like 25 because they're so horrifically inept, ha ha ha. DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, KATIE COURIC?

― Allyzay Highlights The Fallacy of Radiohead (allyzay), Wednesday, 26 January 2005 19:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh and as for blow jobs, again basing this on my school experience, the reason why that has "grown in popularity" instead of just, like, fucking seems to be entirely because of Jesus girls who are saving it for marriage. Because apparently it don't matter to Jesus about the mouth, the ass, or the hand. The vag though, INSTANT HELLFIRE.

Well, sexuality definitely seems tougher to deal with for young women then young men, but might I add a few points:

1) Until I was in my late teens or so, I had NO IDEA that women actually LIKE IT when you do things like feel/suck on their breasts.

2) Until I was maybe 20, I thought that there was no way any woman could get any enjoyment out of giving head -- I thought it was like this awful thing that they felt they had to do and I pretty much felt guilty about receiving it.

Someone needs to send Katie the V!ce Guide to eating P!!ssy.

Pretend your tongue is the bad cop and the clit is the guy who killed your partner. Separate him from his buddies (the lips) and suck him right up into your mouth. Now he's on your turf. Keep him erect by creating an air-tight vacuum chamber in your mouth. Slap the little bugger upside the head with one big tongue bonk. He's not going to tell you shit because he's a clit and he has no idea what you're talking about, but kick his ass anyway.

They could have addressed how certain states are dealing with sexually active teenagers the same as they deal with violent rapists, like in Michigan both are required to register their names and addresses in Michigan's public register of dangerous sex criminals for 25 years.

I heard teens are getting sued even if no parents are pressing charges, ex: teachers are encouraged to break the confidence bond they have with students and denounce (or they may lose their job) and once an accusation is made , the state is on teh case.

I hope not many 17-year-old caught in a backseat with their 15-year-old partner didn't get into heavy drugs then killed themselves because of this law : apparently now they can petition to remove their name from the list. I don't know how it goes in other places, anyone knows about this "teenage sex offenders" & the sex offender registry thing?

You didn't mention that he was legal and she wasn't, making it an age of consent issue. You made it sound like two 16-year-olds that have sex will both be slapped on a sex offenders list.

― Pears can just fuck right off. (kenan), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost

The kid got nailed for statutory rape in that link. Agree/disagree whatever with statutory rape and age of consent laws, but they exist all across the United States and (I venture) in every European nation.
This isn't "two fifteen-year olds [or two non-adults] had sex and were charged as sex offenders" this is "someone who is legally an adult had sex with someone who is not legally an adult [probably 16 in Michigan] and his/her parents chose to press charges," which is a major difference and shouldn't shock anyone.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

milozauckerman, I mentionned that it was not necessary for a parent to presse charge and used a theoretical example.

You didn't mention that he was legal and she wasn't, making it an age of consent issue. You made it sound like two 16-year-olds that have sex will both be slapped on a sex offenders list.

ah ok, thank you for the precision: it was indeed my intention to talk about age of concent. I guess I disagree whatever with statutory rape and age of consent, and wanted to point out how inefficacious and unjust that law is to unfairly label as dangerous teens who have consensual sex. I think it's shocking that some teens were prejudiced and traumatized by the state eaven if "they had it coming".
