More like a "sexually well-adjusted and fulfilled liberal who has been well-educated in contraception and prophylaxis."

Man, my friends and I would have killed to have more fathers like you when we were young, free spirited teens and wanting nothing more from a girl than getting laid. Just our luck.

How many children do you have, by the way?

Oh, I have a friend just like that. She has 3 kids, one 18, one 16, and one 4...and has had FOUR abortions since she was 16.

Her last one was just this week. She's 37, btw.

Fun-loving liberal? Check.

Sexually well adjusted? Check.

Well educated in contraception? Check.

Common sense? Oooh, sorry, no.


Hope your kids have better luck!

I don't think it's a question of luck, nor is it at all clear that having sexually repressive parents twenty years ago would cause a person to make sensible decisions today.

I don't have any stats, but I think the majority of people are not virgins when they marry, and I'm not going to lie to myself and assume my kids will be virgins when they marry. I plan to teach them responsible safe sex practices while at the same time, encouraging them to remain virgins until marriage. But to say you wouldn't want your kids to stay virgins? That seems like an odd stance to take.

It certainly seems odd in this society because of its vestigial puritanism. Americans are supposed to hate recreational sex and love war. In that respect I am very un-American, I suppose.

With our STD rates? Who said Americans don't enjoy recreational sex? We even have folks getting caught trying to have sex with children and animals. They certainly aren't doing it out of love.

We sure do. We just love it.

Nope, you're not un-American. You're just exposed to too many strange people or live in the twilight zone.

I'm going to make my own version of this, just a little more personal .

life is too short to go thru it without a sense of humor.
