I had kind of a wierd upbringing, so maybe that’s why I don’t really understand it...My first crush wasn’t till the age of fourteen, and it was on Tommy Lee Jones. :-P

Indeed nothing is private or off-limits anymore.
In Los Angeles many kids in the sixth grade are stoners,msm seldom does a story on the problem.In Ca. stoned is a way of life,any questions why it’s screwed up.

Washington State may have CA beat. According to my kid brother, Mary Jane is one of the four food groups up there.

in the nineties he was going to Evergreen State University (St. Pancake—Rachel Corrie went there) Apparently, he was acting real weird and messed up until his live-in girlfriend made him quit. Considering how crazy she turned out to be, it must have been pretty bad. But all’s well that ends well. He’s now an imaging software analyst for some hush-hush agency.

I was 12 and the object was the much older brother of a friend from a large family. He was 22. I was devastated when he got married a few months after I decided I was *in love* with him. Luckily, I was too naive to do anything embarrassing to myself.

Also, don’t forget that little children are exposed to Viagra and Cialis commercials every 5 minutes on TV. They probably think that two people can’t pass each other in the hallway without it becoming a sexual event.

Then there are the constant commercials for “low T”....

There’s an economics text book out there with Viagra used as an example.

Actually, the first supermodels — society women famous simply for being pretty — appeared back in the 1880’s. Women like Lily Langtry. Almost as soon as there was photography, there were people buying photos of other people they didn’t even know, just to look at them. Seems ingrained in the human psyche.

That said, I think it’s pretty sick for people to present their young daughters on a platter this way. Yuck.

Yeah, it’s about time some poster of the news said what some of us were trying to get at for a long time. Chances are, I would be willing to bet that there’s a great deal of kids who have problems related to how hyper-sexual a great deal of our culture is. Someone fits this gender role, or someone fits that one, and so on.
