| | | | | Back-Seat Lovin' Takes A Back Seat, As Teens Stay Home For Sex | | | | | found on Yahoo News
written by MandaX, edited by Nick (Plastic) [ read unedited ]
posted Thu 26 Sep 3:24pm | | | | |
 | "It's 10pm: do you know where your children are? New research suggests that they may well be at home, having sex. A recent study shows that 56% of teens surveyed in 2000 had sex for the first time at their own homes, or the homes of their partners. Other frequent cherry-popping locations include a friend's house, a vehicle, a park or public place, or a hotel/motel room, but all pale in popularity next to the old homestead. Further, most first encounters took place at night, between 10pm and 7am, or in the evenings between 6pm and 10pm, though not right after school, when parents are likely to be away at work. The survey did not ask whether parents were actually in the home at the time. Sounds like Yahoo! News missed a serious marketing opportunity in failing to place an X10 camera pop-up ad with this story.
"I'm also curious about whether this has always been the case or is a new, Gen-Y trend. Why, back in my day we had to walk uphill five miles in the snow to find a nice private place to have sex, and we liked it. Now, of course, you could get locked up for going anywhere public. Is sneaking sex at home indicative of these kids today, or does this jive with the experience of you other crusty oldsters too?"

Why wouldn't a teen have sex a home? Most parents will either consent to allowing it or are away often enough that the opportunity is sure to present itself. The house has everything that you might want... In my case, there was furniture available to have sex on, and a well stocked refridgerator to help handle the post-sex cravings for grilled cheese sandwiches that I always seem to have. Besides, when you're 6'6", like I am, the back seat of a car really loses its appeal.
Of course, sex at home is great, but there are better places to get it on for a teen. For example, being the child of a pastor meant that I could easily get the keys to a spacious building that was empty six days out of the week. You can't beat that with a stick!

Americans are getting taller at a rate of one inch per generation. But our cars are getting smaller and smaller with each generation. It's a Detroit conspiracy to annihilate the tradition of back-seat sex.

Well, where do you most often have sex?
At home?
In bed?
Between 6 pm and 7 am?
Why should a teen be any different?
Yeah, sure people get thier freak on in any number of places, but most often?
Gotta be in the crib with the lights low, some nice tunes, maybe a mellow little buzz, Mom and Dad out doing that dinner and a movie thing, all alone with your honey, some kissing, some fondling, a little slap and tickle, some rubbing, heavier kissing, a shirt comes off, a hand moves slowly towards....

I've always wondered about this term. It's used rather haphazardly. I've heard it used as a euphemism for foreplay, as a literal description of slapping and tickling, and finally as a euphemism for the actual act of coitus.
So, Plasticos, which is it, dammit? And where did it come from?

| | | | | | 6. Parents who grew up in the 60's... | | | | by Thalia | | | | at Thu 26 Sep 4:27pm | score of 1.5 novel | | | | | | |
I think most of GenX and GenY have parents who grew up in the 60's. And unless they're raging hypocrites, they know exactly that their teens are going to have sex. So, the smart thing to do is to make sure your kid has a safe place to have sex, and make sure s/he knows to use protection. I expect if I have children I will do the same. I'd prefer my kids have their first sexual experience in a safe location. This probably increases the incidence of using protection and decreases the risk of going too far and being unable to stop.
But I think the next generation will be even better. Parents should provide a copy of The Joy of Sex, as well as a handy assortment of condoms. It's not like the kids aren't going to experiment, so they might as well have a good time & be safe.

i don't think the really interesting thing here is some dispositional change in the laxity of parents, but rather the increasing spatial differentiation of homes, wherein certain parts of the house (the basement, one's own room) are allocated to kids as zones free of parental intervention. Basically, it's the trend toward the privatization of kids' spaces, and as such seems to fall within the general rubric of stories like "2 bazillion increase of kids with TVs in their rooms!" and "Kids going online to look at porn- but not in some seedy porn/internet cafe/opium den, but in your own house!

I think the actual intention is, with the ability to buy a larger home, the parents try to separate themselves (for their own devices) from the kids as much as possible. This leads to having the above listed effect as well, whether desired or not.
And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything.

This is a good point, but i think it's addressing a different issue. If i am a parent, my getting more privacy from the kids doesn't preclude me from preventing them from gaining similar zones of privacy. I can go to my bedroom, where the kids aren't allowed under normal circumstances, to their room, where I may check up on them at any time. I think you're right in that there seems to be a strange symmetry between the appropriation of private spaces on the parts of parents and a commensurate allocation of private spaces- so i guess this could speak to the dispositional, egalitarian shift in parents.

being 41 years old, i'm neither baby boom nor gen-anything, as far as i know. my parents were considered very permissive by my girlfriends, whose fathers were quite hung up on the issue of roof ownership. there was this pervasive belief that you had to own the roof in order to fuck underneath it. the roof was also the basis of government: laws emanated not by divine right nor through the consent of the governed, but by roof acquisition, maintenance, and installment payment.
i own a roof now, and let me tell you, it's a thrill. my life is basically an endless series of orgasms. i have two daughters and a son, and currently their taste in bedmates tends toward stuffed animals and sponge bob replicas. to me this is just fine: let's keep it this way.
should there come a day when they want to explore the inimitable pleasures of inept intercourse and intimacy, i will let one thing be known: i can so shush you. because it's my fucking roof.

But you were born in 1960. There is no ambiguity. You are boomer.
There is some dispute at to how to classify 1961-1964 births. Also, some demographers find it useful to split boomers into "early boomers" (1946-1955), who are considered more "thrifty" and more like the prior gerneration, and "late boomers" who are considered as the mindless consumer heart of the mass-market. I personally don't buy this analysis, but it further suggests that your "I am not Boomer" claim has more to do with that river in Africa than your actual demographics.

1961 here, name = "michael", which my mother thought was an outlandishly biblical name, akin to zebadiah or ezekiel; that was the first year michael displaced john from the #1 spot, a title which it held in unbroken succession for the rest of my life until just this year (jason). so i suppose i should just lay down and die now.
besides the name thing, though, there's very little to talk about when i'm talkin bout my generation. my dad was a boyscout in wwii, scanning the hartford sky for japanese zeros which never did come. he missed korea, i missed vietnam by a long shot, was too old for the gulf. when the trade towers got hit i felt like fighting for my country for a few minutes but then i got lightheaded and sat back down.
the dope we smoked in high school was $20 a bag and was mostly floor sweepings. sometime after i stopped smoking they started selling mysteriously sexual-looking stuff, by the gram, of all things, like what, the drug world's gone metric? i spose my generation got cocaine in a big way, but it always seemed like such a loser drug to me, like, nose ulcers, what a pathetic badge of honor, you might as well be proud of your genital warts. okay, i guess we got some pretty good sexually transmitted diseases, we really put our parents' diseases to shame. but i'm really pissed off i missed this whole ecstasy thing... number one, it's a great name, but even more importantly, the best the scolding paternal press can come up with for it dangers are that you might dance yourself to death.

Do you need the landlord's permission?
permission, no, but normally a lease agreement implicitly grants the landlord several rights of erotic amusement and/or satisfaction of any of several fetishes, including but not limited to:
* pawing through female renters' intimate garments
* installation of creepy looking smoke detectors which don't do anything in response to burning newspaper held four inches away unless you count squinting and blinking
* medicine and/or liquor cabinet browsing
* plushophiliac defloration of the renters' teddy bears (see post #8, "uh oh", by whelp)
* etc
when i was in between college and college i lived with a bunch of gw students in washington dc; ten of us paid $50 each to live in this huge wreck of a house in a rundown section of town that people insisted on calling the next georgetown. the landlord didn't appear much, but his son, whom we knew as "human cannonball" more on account of his looking like a cannonball than a human (he was a steroid addict, i think) was somewhat ubiquitous. he was quite the thorn in the female housemates' sides; or, more accurately, he was the burr under their saddles, if you can imagine a pile of dirty feminine underthings as being kindv like a saddle and human cannonball's uniquely spherical smiling face as being sortv like a burr.

Why is that noone brings up the obvious issue here: Why not educate the kids about having SAFE sex ?
OK, well, most of you might just say, that teenagers are not to be trusted in this way, because who can guarantee that they will use condom...
I saw a huge poster along the road I where live, (Alabama) saying "You have future, Sex can wait". I found it outrageous as implying that having sex as a teenager means no future. This is absurd.
Proper education would solve this problem, since teenagers will continue having sex for two reasons: 1, it is forbidden 2, it is fun (ooooh yes)
So there's no way of preventing it, why not DEAL with this issue in an intelligent manner instead of just dumping the whole thing out the window with the black/white perception ? Ignoring the issue using a cheap-and-easy solution will have its comeback, as always. Having a p!ss-poor solution to this problem does not solve the problem, but might help people go to bed each night thinking "Well now I am sure my daughter won't get pregnant since she is locked up in her room". So what I am trying to say is that ignoring the deeper impications of this problem will have its shortcomings. Example: zero-tolerance policy in schools: excellent example of ignorance and brute-force solution for a problem which requires a lot more sophisticated approach.
Why do people still think that banning things is better than treating adults-to-be as adult-to-be and tell them WHY is it dangerous to have unprotected sex ?

I am one of those who lost my virginity at home. But don't think I didn't try to lose it in my mini-van ("Hop on in and check out the back seat..."). The only problem was Johnny Law. Twice I was busted in semi-secluded places by cops, both times my girlfriend had her shirt off. Oh yeah then there's the time in the Olive Garden parking lot, but that was just stupid on our part.
After these escapades my girlfriend finally got over her fear of my parents walking in, so we stayed in from then on. I already knew my parents wouldn't because they are just as scared of walking in on us. I suspect that's how most parents are, except for the sickos.

Ah, the memories... I had two "serious" relationships while in high school, and married the second one, so you can't call me a slut. ;-) We did it EVERYWHERE...
- a double header in the front seat of my boyfriend's car at a drive-in. He had a Dodge Daytona and our friends were stacked in the drivers seat, we were stacked in the passenger seats. This was after prom and half a bottle of schnapps.
- in the great outdoors in many locations. Nature is good.
- Various hotel rooms we'd rent with friends. A room w/ two double beds in a Motel 6 is pretty cheap split four ways. And no, we didn't have a 4-way, we stuck with our respective partners. Just in the same room.
- in the back of my boyfriend's pickup truck. Metal truckbeds can be COLD.
- in the playground behind my elementary school. This was a favorite place of ours, although we got busted twice. One time we were way back in the sports field; it was a full moon and we'd spread a blanket out. Just gotten buck naked and here comes a patrol car around the school, lights grazing right over us. We jumped in the car, still half naked, and took off.
- Yes, in my home. My father worked nights, so he'd sleep during the day. The two bedrooms in the house were way at the other end from the living room and craft room where my mother normally was. So we'd get getting it on in my bedroom; my Dad was as regular as a clock, and besides he snored like a bear so you knew when he had woken up.
- We'd also do it on the couch; that way I could look out the window and see my mom coming up the drive.
But the kicker... my first "serious" boyfriend was very spoiled; his father had died when he was young and his mother tried to overcompensate. "His room" was the entire basement of the house, and we had just finished getting busy in his waterbed. Well here comes mom knocking on the door and I freak out. He just says, "Come in" so Mom comes waltzing in and says, "Oh, hello!" and then goes on to talk about what's for dinner that night, and would I like to join them? Then she turns and walks out and says, "You kids have fun now" and that was that. She would walk in on us all the time and never seemed to care. Neither did he. Always kreeped me out, though.
If I had children, I would work very hard to build an open, respectful relationship with them from square one, where I felt they were well informed. And if they showed themselves to be responsible and capable of acting like adults, I would probably be much more lenient than if they didn't. I know there's a flaw in that thinking though, because the kids that you have a problem with are much less likely to listen to you.

Bleh. I saw a report on the local news this morning saying that more teens are staying virgins. It sounds like dueling banjos.
I never liked that song.
Science reporting is lame, rhetorical.

| | | | | | 35. The AP "Spin" Machine | | | | by Anonymouse Savant | | | | at Fri 27 Sep 10:03am | score of 1 | | | | | | |
From the story,
The findings reinforce earlier research that parents can have a significant impact on their children's decisions about sex, Brown said.
"This notion that it's impossible to supervise kids is ludicrous if a lot of them are having sex in the rec room," she said.
This idiot, and the idiot AP writer who somehow tries to spin this story as "parental failure" and "look out for what's going on, you can stop this terrible evil of persons under 18 having sex" drive my crazy. What's with this?
I had sex with a pastor's daughter while he was downstairs and we were allegedly doing math homework. His fault?
I used my own bedroom to great effect when the parents were working, out to dinner or going at it in their own room. Where's it their "fault" for not randomly opening my door? And who would it have helped if they did?
By the way, given that by definition teenagers are young and inexperienced, I can tell you I did a much better job and we both enjoyed it a lot more when we had access to a soft bed, time, tissues, showers together afterward and appropriate time for foreplay and cuddling. (Not to mention that vibrator the parents left beside their bed to "relieve stress"). The back of my VW bug was a decidedly inferior place to do it, not that we didn't try that too. After all, hormones will rage.
When it comes time for my daughters to experiment I'd far prefer it be done at home, with or without me somewhere nearby making very sure I don't notice a thing.
Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuses. (R. Heinlein)

I am old enough to have daughter old enough for this thread to resonate. And I was conceived on my Grandmother's couch while most of the family was home. Getting the Uncles a bit drunk and talking about the sexual escapades of their parents (my grandparents) sounds produces stories at least as good as whats turned up on this thread. Nothing has changed, whatever the editorial/advertising needs of the Yahoo editors.
Everyone posting here is the result of a long line of sucessful shags. People have always gotten their freak on wherever they could. After all, folks who manage to actually follow all that "abstinence" nonsense don't have many kids....

| | | | | | | 50. #Q20: The mini storage unit | | | | by Atlasshrugged00 | | | | at Fri 27 Sep 3:55pm | score of 1.5 informative | | | | | | |
I have to say it was a brilliant idea. My buddy Scott rents a 10x10 mini storage unit. Together we paint it (neutral color), carpet it (likewise). Add futon, min-fridge, jam box, an end table and lamp. All the electrical run off a bare bulb with socket on the ceiling.
Even put a seascape poster up, and the coup de grace, a false window frame over the poster.
Our beach room was the perfect place for...cookouts, beerblasts, and separately intimate evenings with the ladies. The accomodating young lasses loved both our ingenuity and (sadly) flair for interior design.
At 20 some odd bucks a month it was Shangra-la...
or was that Shag-ra-la.
And yes it was illegal too. ('living in a mini storage' not the girls)

I should have added...we were high school juniors, seniors (late '80s) at the time....
So "lets go to Q20" was kind of the cool thing to do. Became a (very small) legend at school too. People "in the know" knew about Q20, and others wanted to....well sort of.
Another important fact...while I would like to take the credit, it was Scott's original idea. He was voted "Most likely to be Ferris Buehler, if Ferris Buehler was real." I just helped in the execution and reaped the benefits.
OT: I should also note that there was another guy in the Mini-storage area that used his unit as his weight room. Sometimes we would invite him over to our cook-outs. Remarkably useful extra spaces.

Yuck! Even when I was married and came home for a visit, the Idea of doing it in my parents house completely turned me off! Of course, I'm noisy as hell, so that might be part of it!

Sex on the couch at home? I'm still scarred from the time my mother piped up during a Viagra commercial and said, "Your father thinks he needs that."
Anyone know how to repress memories?

| | | | | | 60. I always thought... | | | | by Atlasshrugged00 | | | | at Sun 29 Sep 5:07am | score of 1 | | | | | | |
...my criteria was that I would be open and honest with my kids (I do not have any yet) about sex.
But with regards to sex in "my" house I didn't want them to do it. I figured their criteria for being mature enough to have sex was:
1. Responsible enough to deal with the consequences,i.e. STDs, pregnancy
2. Responsible enough to have their own money to facilitate a location...their own car, or a hotel room (preferably the latter).
I just didn't like the idea of my kids bumping uglys with someone in my house (loved the reference to "I own a roof"). I simply thought it was a respect issue.
Now I formulated much of this thinking in college, when a very similar article in the NY Times stimulated a two class period discussion in Sociology.
After college, I promptly violated my own thinking by getting very nasty (many times) in my parents home with my then girlfriend (now wife).
So whatcha gonna do?
