There you go, bastards, another comic.

Moving right along:
The Wife and I had a long discussion about this article.

She is of the opinion that abstinence should be taught more in schools. While I think that abstaining is fantastic for America’s youth, I doubt it would work. It’s been tried, kids’ll do whatever, and for every one kid it works on, we’ll say randomly, twenty kids don’t give a shit.

So what can be done to comebat this problem? Concentrate on the girls, honestly. Reducating teenage boys is a lot of work for so very little payoff… I should know, I was a teen once. We’re manipulative, agressive, and downright classless, and nine times out of ten, we’ll do just about anything to get our dicks wet.

While women are portrayed more positively by today’s media, I think they are presenting a really skewed set of role models for teenage girls these days. Yes, women have stronger, more self sufficient roles in TV and movies, but a lot of the messages they are sending out are pretty off kilter.

For example: Sex in the City, a show I fucking detest for a multitude of reasons, presents assertive, powerful women as masters of their own destiny. This show is perfect for somone like The Wife, or Seraphine, or more than half the people who read my comic (or are involved in PPP doing their own thing), but they aren’t really a fantastic role model for some of the younger lasses here. Why? Simply because these women, being masters of their own lives, and therefore sexuality, give a glimpse into mature female sexuality that is way beyond that of your average fifteen year old girl. They fuck who they want, rubbers be damned if it don’t synch up with the script, etc.

That’ll mix a confused teen’s head up, if they were as fucked up as all the chickies I took advantage of in my hay day. What I’m saying is that most of the education dollars spent on sex ed, and most of the time spent with parents explaining to their kids about sex should be concetrated upon the girls… Teaching them that it is NOT there responsibility to nail their boyfriend, and if he doesn’t pack a rubber… DON’T LISTEN TO HIM, and CERTAINLY don’t fuck him. He’ll say anything to get up inside ya, you know?

Not that guys shouldn’t be taught the birds in the bees, I just think that the girls will be more proactive about making sure the smart thing is done. Guys need the “If you fuck up I’ll beat you” speech, and there’s like… a fifty percent chance they’ll ignore that.

I also think that rather than abstaining, people should concentrate on safe alternatives to sex for young people, and just suck it up and learn to talk to their kids about it. Masturbation for example… I was always curious to what life would of been like if there was no unspoken shame attached to that word.

A group of folks out in SF have been running a kind of telethon out there called the Masturbate-a-thon, which is just like a walk-a-thon, only you get people to pledge on your genitals and orgasms and such. All the dough goes to a sex research and education facility, and I think it’s really, really fuckin’ neat. I’m still trying to convince The Wife that she should go with me.

I’m out, fuckers.
