Well duh!
In other news, reports of an epidemic of teenage boys suffering neck and back strain DO appear to be accurate.
But I don't see how this undermines the larger point here, which is that we should all be very afraid of the gays, perverts, and liberals who are coming for our daughters.
I don't know, Matt, but the Dockers clothing ad at the top of the Atlantic.com blog page means your bills are being paid through the use of slave labor...here's the link from Asia Times:

I'm not sure I can rely upon this report until there's an in-depth, detailed, and heavily video illustrated investigation by Bill O'Reilly.
Man that sucks (someone had to say it).
I seem to recall that your colleague Caitlin Flanagan fell for this one big-time.
Actually, the report sites its own results very badly. It claims "one in four teen virgins (26%) have engaged in oral sex". That certainly sounds to me like some teens are having oral sex instead of vaginal in order to preserve their virginity for a time. The study goes on to compare this result to those who are not virgins, but that comparison seems completely beside the point.

This and more on...
remember when you were a kid and you used to bubbles?
anyone seen Matt??

Very poor effort my friend. The joke goes:
Did you ever blow bubbles as a kid? (also acceptable, "Remember when you were a kid and you used to blow bubbles?")
Well he's back in town and he wants your phone number.
I don't see what is especially shocking about this either way. Blowjobs are one step below sex. This is true if you're a virgin or a woman out on a first date who doesn't want to 'sleep' with a guy on the first night. Of course there will be some teenagers who don't have sexual intercourse, but will have oral sex from time to time. I will agree that teenagers who abstain from sex but blow dudes are still virgins and should be proud of themselves.
No more comments necessary, we have a winner:

After Phil's comment, my friends, the floor's still open.
THIS IS HORRIBLE NEWS!!! FOR BILL!!!

Dumb kids should just have gotten their bottom ribs removed.

I think teenagers should be proud of themselves in general, whether or not they subscribe to a church-imposed "moral framework" that places a high value on not having sex outside of marriage.
If this were the middle ages, some kids would be in BIG trouble:

I've been trying to come up with a decent joke about Jesse Jackson for ten minutes, and I got nuthin.
Now I can feel better about my own high school years.
Thanks Bragan, tell your friends, I'm here all week!

I'll sleep much more soundly tonight. Jessica deserves our thanks.
In related news, Ann Althouse may or may not be considering a new series on her blog, wherein she may or may not travel to the nation's high schools in search of information and, um, things.
I enjoy giving some good head now and again.
I wonder if there was ever even one genuine "Rainbow Party". It's the kind of thing that would only work in a fantasy. It would get all smeared in practice.

But you're a guy. How is that possible?
"Penalty for semenem in ore (semen in the mouth) could attract anywhere from three to 15 years (of penance)."
The crazy semen Medieval idea that always struck me as the strangest was St. Thomas Aquinas (or was it St. Augusts?) writing that masturbation was worse than rape because rape could at least results in conception.
That was Augustine.
But you're a guy. How is that possible?

George, get over to my office. Right now.
"I will agree that teenagers who abstain from sex but blow dudes are still virgins and should be proud of themselves."
Anybody who's proud of being a virgin should be shot as a threat to the species.
Most of the human race throughout human history would probably regard the notion of "virgin" as some sort of freak thing that should only be sacrificed to the big gorilla on the other side of the Wall.
Njorl--for what it's worth, I have at least one nineteen-year-old friend who swears they happened at her school.
If you read the study, you'll see how totally heterocentric it is, without even so much as a mention of gay kids (male and female) and their sexual practices. And, it uses a sample-- it's not a longitudinal study, so how were they able to follow these kids throughout their teen years? Not to mention how completely nonsensical, on its merits, this really sounds if you think about it (Who doesn't do oral EVEN AT THE SAME event as their first penetrative sexual encounter? Come on.) I mean, I'm not a pollster or a researcher (pardon my comment accordingly, if you will), but to me, this study sounds like total crap.
By a "blowjob epidemic" should we assume you mean an unfortunate lack of blowjobs?
This news would be tremendously disappointing, if I were to suddenly become 15 again.
What you people call 'heterosexism' is what I call the recognition of the obvious fact that men and women are essentially different and meant to complement each other. It is not 'homophobic' or any such nonsense to recognize the existence of a norm, a standard, an ideal.
Furthermore, I for one think that the premature sexualization of our children is a tragedy. One only has to go to a high school and look at the way kids are dressed for evidence of this fact. Whether or not these 'rainbow orgies' are exaggerated or not, the fact that they have captured the imagination of our writers and the fact that they can be spoken of without horror shows that we as a society have lost our sense of the right and the normal. It is well known that there are _some_ high schools where casual sex, oral orgies, and sexual exploitation of young girls are no myth. EVen the high school in the town where I grew up was in the local news a few years back for this kind of behavior.
Lord, have mercy, indeed.
Hector would blow a fuse if he knew how old Jewish kids were when they started having sex in Jesus' day.
For most of human history, for that matter.
What part of "puberty" don't you get, moron?
Mr. Hack,
Uh, actually the general age of menarche was around 16-17 in most societies, particularly among the poorer classes, until the coming of modernity. The abnormal and unnaturally young age of menarche in the modern West is due to things such as a high fat diet, the lack of physical exercise, absent fathers and sexual overstimulation in popular culture. In other words, it is another reminder- as if we needed another one- of how fundamentally unnatural and evil modernity is.
