Doubt it, LisaB. Teenagers tend to be pulled and drawn by biological
predispositions, regardless of disquieting images. They are going to have sex. Being smart about it rarely enters into it. However, parents and other adults are supposed to be smarter, more experienced, more savvy about sex and sexual practices. As I've stated before, nothing trumps a parent being open and informative and receptive with their children.

It's difficult to expect kids today to have a different viewpoint...
Check out some of the info they get online, like from Planned Parenthood and other groups that 'support' the emerging sexuality of kids.
Everybody strives so hard to not pass judgment on kids OR sexual activities they may wish to experiment with that the kids aren't getting all the info.
You know how they show pictures of lungs rotting from cigarettes? Maybe they ought to show throat cancer and other consequences from oral sex. That might work.

I have to agree, scoop. It is sad to see an eight-year presidency reduced
to a blow job and president Hilary jokes.
