I think we've had this "special hell" discussion before.

| Okay so having sexual inhibitions at 15 seems reasonable, kinda freightening to think that she wanted a guild through relationships and intamacy at that age. Seems like someone grew up too quick and wished it was faster. |

| It seems like the subject of appropriate levels of sexual inhibition for 15-year-olds is everywhere lately. For an analysis of a recent statutory rape case and what it says about our society's attitudes towards sex and minors in general, check out this blog post on Sexual Evolution: http://sexualevolution.blogspot.com/2006/12/free-genarlow.html |

I don't know. On the one hand, yeah, some people, 15 is young. on the other hand, in the culture in which we live nowadays, there are a lot of people who don't have inhibitions at 15.
What I'm trying to say here is that it's not really abnormal (not saying its good) for a 15 year old to lack some sexual inhibitions, or even to have quite a bit of sexual experience. That is the culture in which we live. Teenagers have sex. |

When I was 15, an interest in sex and relationships was normal. I remember my classmates started "dating" around age 11 or 12. Many if not most where at least somewhat sexually active by 15. I'm fairly cetain a 15 year old who has never dated or had a relationship would feel behind the curve regardless or how we wanted them to act. |

| That's fair enough I'm sure that is the way it is, even if I didn't learn about anything of that nature until I was seventeen. It was a bit of a wake up to me. |

By fifteen I'd nearly lost track of how many people I'd been in bed with. To say that I was kinky then would be an understatement.
I went to boarding school at that time and one of my roommates had never even been kissed.
So it can definitely go either way. |

| Yay, the special hell! I think I've been there, by mutual consent. It can get pretty hot down there...^^ |

24; male; college graduate; never been kissed.
Yeah, I'm behind the curve.
Only 16 years to go until I can be like Steve Carell's character in that movie.

In interest of full disclosure, I was fifteen nine years ago. It was normal to date, and not unnormal to be having sex (at least the crowd I ran with - mostly nerds and drama geeks). I knew only what I'd read and seen in French movies, but I'd always been a big reader. I figure a fantasy, like a roleplaying relationship, or the stupid fake diary I kept, is a better way for a young woman to explore her sexuality than with some jerkwad who's going to finish with her in five minutes in the backseat of a Volkswagon (somewhere uncomfortable  ) and make her walk home, then brag about it to the rest of school. I always figured reading and writing were why I held onto my virginity for so long.
And horror stories from friends and acquaintances, like the sad tale above.
I'm so with Karla on this. I can see the train wreck happening, but I can't . . . turn . . .away . . .

I love the Firefly reference.
This strip has been much like watching an inevitable train wreck. Karla means well, but there's just no way this can turn out well... (or not). Branch doesn't seem to have the emotional maturity to handle it (or anything, frankly). Poor Branch. I think I was her, once upon a time. |

This is not what the father of a 14 year old daughter wants to hear! I have no intention of allowing any dating at all until 16. I hope the only sexual activity my daughter is partaking in involves just her alone in her room. Allow me my naivete.

| On the subject of maintaining one's illusions... I have a young friend whom I met when he was 14. He's 19 now, and we have and understanding - I don't have to know *anything* about his love life. I can see myself now, at his wedding sometime in the future, my fingers in my ears and me going "lalalalalalalaa". :: snicker :: |

Ok, first off, I'm 19 and have never been kissed. Can't say I havn't tried to change that last part, but still. I know that I was interested in interacting romantically since before I started grade school. I didn't know what it was, but I wanted "it". But I came to believe that only sex within marrige is right. So my only thing is that in the above link, the writer indicates that teaching abstinance until marriage is dumb because it's not working. ("In any case, the study provides ample evidence that abstinence only until marriage might not be the wisest of choices when it comes to sex education.") I just think we should also check out how that's enforced.
Example: My little brother is a liar. He lies all the time. Mom says so, I see it, Dad agrees. They tell him it's wrong, church tells him it's wrong, they teach honesty in school, he is educated. Today, he told a bold faced lie directly to Mom and Dad. Mom says "you need to watch that lying thing, you've been doing that a lot lately. Don't do that again." End of story. If I was him, I'd feel I'd just gotten away with something. And I'd do it again and again. Let's face it, telling people not to do something isn't enough. Especially kids. Joe (said little brother) will never stop lying if all he gets when he does it is a gentle suggestion.
And kids will not stop having sex unless consequences are fully explained, they know they are going to be caught, and someone besides that teacher is telling them not to do so. (The teacher who they don't listen to, by the way. I've gotten through plenty of classes having never listened to a word coming out of the teacher's mouth, and sex ed is a notoriosly easy, boring, and negligible class.)
On a lighter note: Firefly quote! You guys are my heroes! |
