“It’s like hot potato/musical chairs, but with a penis,” said the girl leading the group.

The kids gathered on a spring morning in South Los Angeles were about to get a hands-on lesson in sex education.

Have any of these idiots stopped to realize that unwanted pregnancies and rampant STD infections didn't skyrocket until AFTER contraception became so popular, legal and normalized?

I suspect that the flood of illegal aliens has something to do with this.

Liberal mindset is to do whatever makes you feel good and and all that prattle about some "future" is a damnable lie just made up to keep us from having fun.

They don’t teach that stuff in “health class” anymore. The emphasis is on butt sex and the lesbian equivalent.

He’s in heaven and I followed his advice. Married to the same woman 34 years and counting. Three children in four and a half years (had to stop due to her medical issues), five grandchildren and still counting.

“Stigma” = “it’s OUR fault”

Same here, not counting herpes (cold sores) which are doubtfully classified as STD’s.

You think STDs are out of control in L.A. County. How about TDS?


Time to invent some small piece of latex to put on people who might expose others to TDS.

One boy said he hadn’t known he could get STDs from anal sex.

Why, because the rectum is so darn clean?

Statements such as these tend to make me think racism is not the culprit. Rather it's a combination of poor impulse control, a corrupt, enabling culture, and low IQ.

I blame it on leftists and their love of the genital jamboree.

On the whole, people were never healthier than when "racism and stigma," as defined by the left, were at their highest.

How do they explain that?
