There's the JoBros, Miley Cyrus (alright, so she's probably not a virgin), Selena Gomez, Jordan Sparks have all stated that they've sworn a vow of abstinence to their adoring public and wearing public displays of their promises to God (aka Disney, in my opinion) such as rings, pants, shirts, hoodies, velour sweat pants, and best of all PANTIES! That's right! Now when you're rounding out the bases for a home run, your underwear will remind your heathen partner that "THIS ROAD IS FOR PURITY. EXIT WHEN MARRIED." Hell, there's even Christian shoes now a days.
Now, now, now, virginity is totally cool with me. If you're not ready for sex, you know it. You know yourself better than your father, the media, or JC (well...I'm sure people will argue with me there) and if you don't want to take that path yet, then good for you for being strong enough to make that choice.
"But Jess, its people's choice if they want to make a purity pledge!"
I beg to differ!
Miley Cyrus was on the cover of Vanity Fair (image attached) posing 'topless'. Parents were outraged. Even though she was participating in art, 'good moral standing' adults believed that it was inappropriate for children to see.
Wait...Why the FUCK are your children reading Vanity Fair? Why would they be watching TMZ or Extra with you as you eat your TV dinner? Because you're being a shitty parent, that's why. These adults with 'good moral standing' aren't realizing that if they're doing their job, there's really no reason for their kids to be seeing this photo spread. "But Jess, they might have some naughty friends at school who's parents aren't as awesome as me! They might have printed out the images and plastered them in the hallways saying that "HANNAH MONTANA WANTS YOU TO HAVE SEX! DO IT! Its not my fault!"
No. It is. Because you can't explain to your children that Miley Cyrus is an adult. She's capable of making her own descisions of what she's comfortable with. And also explain to them that Miley "realizes that she had made a mistake by taking these photos in the first place." and 'regretted not standing her ground and refusing to do something that she was uncomfortable with".
Instead of children being able to take in and process forms of sexuality gradually, and letting them realize that sex isn't for everyone, parents make the decision for them. From birth. They block off as many sexually provocative images and scenarios as they can for as long as they can, so that their children can retain their 'purity' and 'innocence'. Then, once the children are presented with sex in an unsupervised situation (i.e. HIGH SCHOOL), they have no idea what to do with it. Its something that's been forbidden to them for so long, Its that "DON'T PUSH THIS BUTTON" complex. They're gonna push that button.
There are several different programs for kids nowadays that promote stay abstinent. Too be honest, I'd probably think that these would be AWESOME for kids who need to be educated on the sexual choices that they'll be presented with and how to handle them. But....these programs don't do that.
Most, if not all, of abstinence programs don't have a focus on the fact that unprotected, promiscuous sex at an early age has a high rate of pregnancy, STDs, and mental problems stemming from the inability to understand what's going on. They don't inform kids about their options if they do run into trouble, whether it be STDs or pregancy, or how to prevent these problems in the first place, if they DO decide that the time is right for them to have sex.
They preach that virginity is one's most precious commodity. To stay pure is to stay valuable. To be Daddy's little girl, you need to be only his little girl and no one else's. Hell, there's Purity Balls for this shit. Where daughter's pledge their loyalty to God and their fathers to stay pure until some jag off can step in and take the reins from Daddy.Virginity is something that's so 'valuable' to these people that they'll use any means of brainwashing necessary to keep up the charade that their children will never grow up, their daughters won't be enjoying sex, or that their sons will never jerk it into their gym socks.
Over all, no glove no love, kids. Ask your parents about how you got here, don't believe that stork bullshit. Educate yaselfzz!
