Voyeur films is what it would be. A snuff film does indeed show the killing of a living being.

If my daughter had ever come home with such a request, there would have been a major storm and she would have shed her friends in one day.

[codebreaker]

I would talk to the girls if the hosting 'nude slumber party' mom has a digital video camera lying around the house.

[Phantom Lord]

Who the hell is putting this on and why are there not lawyers suing her?

What is there to sue over? What violations of laws or a persons rights are occuring?

DEAR MOM: Trust your instinct (something wrong here), not some hack writing under the name Ann Landers.

Its true Ann gave up her column years ago.

The above advise was provided by Stan Landers, Ann's distant cousin & registered sex offender.

They would learn something alright...is Ann out of her ever lovin mind!

[danelectro]

dear ann,

i never believed these letters were real until last weekend when my friend jenny suggested a nude slumber party. jenny is a buxom brunette, 5'6'' with green eyes and ...

Hefner has been doing this for years, but that don't mean it's right.

What do we think Dr. Laura would say? She runs rings around Auntie Ann for common sense responses. And what do we think the schools are teaching these young girls about sex exploration? Nothing today is a surprise. Anyone who would approve of their child attending a nude sleep-over would have rocks in their head.

I see no harm in it

Well, I guess it's okay then. Just listen to Ann.

Ann Landers retired. The person who writes the column is a ditz.

First of all there are minors congregating nude under an adults supervision with strict caveats. (that should set off alarm bells all over the place)

The fact she says the huband and son will be gone could be a lie-my guess is that there is a hole for taping somewhere in the public space of the house and the men of the house are getting jollies or the mom is.

This is not normal teen behaviour to encourage..

[TADSLOS]

Lesbian recruitment isn't licked yet. News at eleven.

[codebreaker]

This article will send the teenage boys alone to their rooms for hours at a time..is it sweeps month at Ann Landers?

[Wrigley]

We were in HS a couple decades too early....

You probably don't allow your daughter to be exposed to "all the rages". Good for you. I'm sure she doesn't "freak dance" either.

Disgusting stuff like this doesn't surprise me one bit. You'd be surprised at the perversions our kids are involved with these days.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[sheik yerbouty]

Especially in NoCal!

[Phantom Lord]

Your post is 100% speculation and not based in fact or evidence of the persons past behaviour.

If after the party a tape is discovered, then they should go after them all guns blazing. Until then, NO LAWS have been broken.

And the parents know what type of 'party' it is before they send their kids over. I blame THEM more than the mom who will be 'supervising' for allowing their children to take part in it.

[Wright is right!]

As aware as most of society seems to be of youthful same-sex experimentation by boys, it has not yet acknowledged that the same phenomenon exists with girls and is perhaps more prevalent these days than ever before.

Girls (some percentage of them) have always "practiced" on each other, kissing, sometimes more, before getting into "dating" as a way of "knowing what to do and not embarassing themselves." With oral sex (although apparently only a one-way, girl-on-boy thing) being the "today" equivalent of a good-night kiss, it's inevitable that some girls are going to experiment with each other. Especially if they want to experience the same feelings that they give to guys without the recourse or vulnerability.

This experimentation isn't new. Look how long "LUG's" have been around (Lesbians Until Graduation) in colleges. Girl roommates "keep it in the room" to fulfill their urges without messy "guy entanglements" that can screw up the academic game plan.

Of course, what IS new is the all-nude slumber party going PUBLIC. This isn't the first time it's happened. It's the first time people are talking about it in public.

I couldnt tell you how many females i know that suddenly discovered that they were "lesbians" only to later realize they are not lesbians.

There is massive recruitment going on. Due to my age (28) the ones I know have been adults well above the age of 18. If they wanna have a lesbian fling, fine with me. They are adults and are free to do as they please. Would be a different story if I was talking about 15 year old girls though.
