Brain Fertilizer

While I may not agree with some of the political slants on the site (well, I agree with them, but not with the context of the placement), it's hardly an ad to go out and get busy. From the site:

But any act of sexual intimacy comes with both emotional and physical risks. It's true that you can't get pregnant from oral or anal sex (unless ejaculate or pre-ejaculate comes in contact with the vagina or vulva), but having either one without using a condom or other barrier puts both partners at risk for a number of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.

Oh, the horror! It's telling teens that sex has issues and consequences attached! Oh no!

And remember, sex doesn't have to be a part of every relationship … even if you aren't a virgin. You have the right to decide when to have sex — the first time, and always!

Oooooh, my eyes!

Sleeping with a partner just to keep him or her around may raise expectations that you'll always give in to that partner's demands … and that's just plain crazy. Using sex as a tool to keep someone interested is just a bad idea, any way you slice it.

Crazy talk! Make them stop!

Sorry, but those who blast PPA in print often seem to be tilting at windmills. The reality is much less sensational - but that would hardly sell.

For me, the test is: would I want my child looking at this site at age 13?

Good Heavens, no!

I don't think Dawn is advocating the site being shut down or telling everyone to avoid it. She seems to just be trying to spread the word on what is being done below most people's radar, as am I. Heck, if people like that sort of slant and want their children to adopt these attitudes, then they can go right on ahead and bookmark the site for theirr kids, and thank Dawn for letting 'em know!
