Taking the pledge makes a teenage girl six times more likely to perform oral sex and four times more likely to allow anal sex.
There're a lot worse things than teenagers having sex--Namely, teenagers not having sex. You'll never hear someone say "That suicide bomber was having too much sex. Sex sex sex, nonstop. All that crazy arab ever had was sex, and look what happened". The theory of the puritans of the 21st century seems to be: The less kids know about sex the better. Because people who talk about pee-pees are potty-mouths. And so armed with limited knowledge and believing regular vaginal intercourse to be either immaculate or filthy dirty, these kids did with their pledge what everybody does with contracts: They found loopholes--two of them, to be exact. Is there any greater irony than the fact that the christian right actually got their precious little adolescent daughters to say to their freshly scrubbed boyfriends: "Please, I want to remain pure for my wedding night, so only in the butt. Then I'll blow you." Well, at least these kids are really think outside the box.
...Okay, if any of that was too insulting to anyone, then I humbly ask a mod to delete or censor the post.
