Yesterday in the news, aside from the occasional fluff-piece on Bastille Day, the big kerfluffle was about Great Britain's NHS pamphlet encouraging teens to masturbate. It's got all the people who don't masturbate up in arms.
As the parent of a teenage girl, I say BRING IT ON! I, for one, would love a bit of guidance in how to teach my daughter to pleasure herself. God knows a teenage boy won't be able to accomplish it. (Unless they've changed drastically from when I was young and attracting their attentions.)
Plus, all those parents who are freaking out about the thought that their kids might learn that sex is fun...? Their kids are the ones doing it the most. Have you noticed that the most sexually repressed "Western" nation is the same one with the highest teen-aged pregnancies?

I remember a Surgeon General--or was it a candidate for the spot?--who caused an uproar on these shores for the same reason.
Bizarre.
It was a Surgeon General. Jocelyn Elders. And she had to resign because of it. Stupid repressed fools. Heaven forbid we encourage teenage girls to touch themselves.
Speaking of Jocelyn Elders, Roy Zimmerman wrote a song that shows that "Firing the Surgeon General" is a pretty good euphemism itself.
