Whether or not they are taught about safety, responsibility, risk, and a whole lot more, kids are going to do what they want to do. The puritanical adults stick their collective heads up their asses and say "Don't do it!" in an effort to satisfy their own stupidity and fear. Kids don't care, because, largely, they can't. They are surrounded by sexuality in commerce which is backed by fiscal draculas seeking to suck the cash out of teen pockets, as well as their own hormonal disney-land in their pants. As a result, they stumble forward in stupid ignorance.

That was the point I wanted to bring out in this clip about sensual massage.

Thanks guys for all the comments, glad so many of you found this clip interesting. Though the content of the article wasn't that much of a suprise to me, It was a great validation for what I personally believe.

And Bear, I agree, spot on. Kids these days are unindated with sexuality. Look at the majority of videos on MTV/Much usic. Look at TV Shows aimed at kids (Falcon Beach, Whistler (sorry, lots of Canadian content here.. but I know there are just as bad, shows in teh states like The OC), Degrassi (which imo handles it better than most... though it seems to be getting a bit worse)).

All these shows enforce the idea s that girls must be pretty and popular and boys must have sex with them. Teen fashion is often quite sexual as well.

The best we can do, is to educate our kids and make sure they understand the risks (and benefits) of relstionships, sex (committed/casual), what they can do to protect themselves, etc. And most of all, let them know they have someone to talk to if they are confused, upset, or just need someone to talk to.
