Not sure where you're going with it though. Your view of the consequences of sex, as expressed here, seems, if you will forgive me, somewhat androcentrically blinkered and incomplete.<br /><br />(Besides, as Mindy correctly implies, it seems somewhat unlikely that a horny, narcissistic 18 year old hockey jock from Wasilla will be sufficiently well-informed or self-controlled to produce the effect you describe.)Kerryn Goldsworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11270814460793882309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459693255389523642.post-3495339096269792102009-05-25T23:37:54.506+09:302009-05-25T23:37:54.506+09:30The "girls" I know do realise the consequences of ...The "girls" I know do realise the consequences of sex - the build up to a relaxing orgasm and a feeling of satisfaction.

'The la...from The Guardian, Lost In Showbiz column:<br />'The last time we saw Bristol was in February when the 18-year-old gave a perfectly sensible interview on - somewhat contradictorily, but bear with us - Fox News, saying that chastity was not a realistic policy for teenage sex education. Three months later, Bristol has been allowed to emerge from the padded cell in which Fox and her parents have kept her ever since for the "re-programming" and she is now, babe in arms, the face of teenage sexual abstinence. "If girls realised the consequences of having sex, nobody would be having sex. Trust me. Nobody," she tells People magazine this week. Well, probably not with some dumb Alaskan hick who recently appeared on the Tyra Banks Show in the US to brag about boning most of his sister's friends. Good point, Bristol!<br /><br />It's a very touching interview in People, particularly the part when readers are informed that, due to nursing duties, Bristol couldn't even go out to celebrate her graduation with her friends, but instead stayed home with her family playing "Eskimo bingo". We are waiting for confirmation that real eskimos were involved and that the prize was a head start on the next day's family moose hunt.<br /><br />On a fact-finding mission to the US last month, Lost in Showbiz was simply delighted to start one of her mornings by turning on the TV and spitting out her coffee on finding herself faced with the completely unscary vision of a smiling Todd Palin and his unsmiling daughter Bristol, holding her baby, Tripp, whom <B>Todd pointed at and called - in loving, grandfatherly tones, of course - <br />"a mistake". You know how the Christian right's argument against abortion is that <br />"every child is a gift"? It turns out that "mistake" is Alaskan for "gift"</B>BwcaBrowniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500142856655553009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459693255389523642.post-72408697809755484122009-05-22T21:26:02.249+09:302009-05-22T21:26:02.249+09:301.
