it's not across the A$$ Sandy1! were u just immaturely dying 2 say that word? grow up!

Actually Kira... and I quote "...smack their foreheads with an open palm when the bubble font and cheery rainbow graphics on the thigh and backside reminds them..." backside meaning.. the back of the pants.. so Sandy was correct.

True love waits? The fact of the matter is, that we as humans, have an instinct to find the right mate... Kids are going to continue to have sex younger and younger until we stop pumping them full of human growth hormones. I don't know if any of you have noticed but 13 year old girls now have boobs as big as thier mom! I'll be the first to say that there is no True love waits campaign that is going to keep kids from having sex to early.. Besides... I don't know if any of you had thought you'd found love at 15, but True love can come early.

I have taught True Love Waits Bible studies and purchased purity rings for teenagers. I find this article very saddening, because 1)the author is so totally confused about the purpose of the True Love Waits movement, and 2) so many people who have posted comments on this site have no idea what True Love Waits really is. Google True Love Waits. I think you will find it has nothing to do with "chastity pants"!

Exactly, Ericka!!!

The comments on this blog entry (and by the blogger) make it so painfully obvious that most people (at least those that read ParentDish) have no idea what chastity is or means. They don't know about chastity within marriage, either. Chastity is not the same as abstinence.

When a girl's rear end has words written across it, it becomes an ass. I used the crass term because that's what's called for, not because I was sneaking on the computer to write naughty words. If Kira knew a bit more about chastity, she'd understand that, too.

The sheer volume of comments by people who are so far off base is a bit worrisome. No wonder we've got problems.

Right oo on the birkenstocks,the ugliest shoes in the world,a definate libido buster!I'm suprised Germany has a birth rate at all since they are the ones wearing those gross sandles with white socks, ugh!

So glad to see you taking advantage of this message board space to promote your own clothing website. How tacky are you?????

Augh, I do. Those father/daughter balls are absolutely creepy. They also come across as demeaning to me. My mom thought they were a little strange as well.
I say people stop making girls feel bad about "staying pure" and go after the boys, too. I mean, without them, there would BE no sex.

Creepy - yes. And archaic. And tiring to see we are still so backwards, so sexist, so blatantly ignorant.
And another thing that burns my ass is the vacine available for HPV is also marketed (and only available to!) girls, NOT boys. No Human Papiloma Virus WITHOUT the little male darlings!! Male and Female should both get inoculated.

I agree while it is important for people to wait, I feel it should also be important to talk about emotions, safe sex, stds, etc.
And why are all these things aimed at the girls and not the boys? Is this the 50's? People should try to talk to guys about why they should wait as well.

To VERYMOODY,

Just to let you know, the HPV vaccine was meant for females because high risk types of HPV cause cervical cancer if left undectected and untreated. While for males, if they have prolonged exposure to high risk types of HPV, nothing happens* except for a less than 1% chance of penile cancer. Where's the money/help in that?

*besides being a carrier

Couldn't have said it better myself. Education is the key.

wasabimon -- you obviously do not look at statistics
and obviously you have bought into the garbage that kids are going to do what kids are going to do -- so we should just give them the information to be as safe as possible -- well the ONLY 100% safe sex technique IS abstinence. The pants are stupid -- but teaching and promoting and expecting abstinence is not -- and it DOES work EVERY time it is tried!

Actually, abstinence works 100% of the time for those who actually do abstain from sex. In addition, those who obstain from premarital sex also are 100% free from STD's, guilt, bad reputations, pregnancy and have a higher chance of a marriage that will not end in divorce. Handing a kid a condom and saying "you should wait, but we know you can't so here..." is not abstinece training but only sending kids a mixed signal. It's also our society saying "do whatever you want" but not accepting the consequences.
