Ever have someone who regularly engages in casual sex tell you that they don’t use condoms because condoms are useless and don’t provide any protection? They know this because that is what they were “taught in school.” Condoms are just a scam.

Welcome to the glorious reality of abstinence only education!

The more I think about it the more pissed off I get. These people who are teaching kids that condoms are useless should be held criminally responsible. Since they are the same people who believe that abortion is murder, they should be brought up on murder charges for every abortion they have contributed to; every STD-related death, and every suicide, too. They should be forced to provide the financial and hands-on care of the children that are conceived due to their lies.

Is it irresponsible to make the choice of having unprotected sex at the risk of unwanted pregnancy or disease? Yes and no. The lie works both ways. By saying that condoms don’t actually work you are implying that there is an unrealistically low risk involved when having unprotected sex. Why? Well, look at all of these people that have been having “unprotected” sex (using useless condoms) with no consequences!

I honestly think we would be better off with no sex education at all than with sex miseducation. You can do the research on the numbers that prove just how ineffective abstinence only education really is at preventing teen pregnancy and STDs for yourself. The evidence of is glaring in that impersonal statistical way. And that is enough to make it worth changing, but it’s not what makes me crazy.

What disturbs me the most are the personal stories you find when you Google “abstinence only” “condoms don’t work”. Try it. Read what people have to say about the films they saw that are used in these programs and the horrifying questions their children asked them about condoms and sex. You’ll come away from it feeling like the people who designed abstinence only education want to hurt and kill kids.

If you want to see abstinence only sex miseducation come to an end, here is a website that will help you send an email to President Obama on the matter. Please do this soon as he is working on the 2010 budget right now and it will be finalized very soon.

If you are looking for an all-natural lubricant, I highly recommend trying coconut oil.

 

Coconut oil is one of the most amazing things on the planet. It has many health benefits when you cook with it, and it can work miracles on your skin and hair. Some of the many things I use it for include:

 

Massage oil

Lubricant

Moisturizer

Makeup remover

Lip balm

Hair conditioner

 

One reason coconut oil is so great for me is that I have a reaction to most scented products. Makeup removers make my eyes swell up, and most moisturizers give me a stuffy nose and sore throat. Coconut oil smells lightly of coconuts, but it’s not strong and the smell doesn’t linger. Most importantly, I have no reaction to it.

 

Years ago I tried some “edible” body paints, much to my regret. I have tried lubricants that feel OK at first, but turn sticky and wind up having the opposite of the desired effect. As a massage oil, coconut oil it is not greasy or sticky. As a lubricant it has a wonderful texture. Unlike some products that are advertised as edible, it is truly safe to eat and does not conflict with oral activities. Since it’s so good for your skin and hair there is no reason to worry about where the coconut oil winds up or having to wash it off later.

 

As a moisturizer, coconut oil can help reverse sun damage, even reducing seemingly permanent redness. Wrinkles seem to melt away with repeated use, and it helps keep your skin plumped so it doesn’t sag. It works well on eczema and dandruff, too.

 

Coconut oil is amazing stuff and it makes your skin very happy. If you decide to try it, make sure to get organic, virgin coconut oil. While it is a little pricey for a cooking oil, it is much cheaper than most skin care products and lubes, so the price balances out.

I have never liked the idea of having any kind of chip implanted anywhere in my body. I don’t even like the strips they put in dollar bills. The idea of walking around transmitting radio signals has always seems like way too much invasion of my privacy. The idea of having a chip in my brain that can receive signals is even creepier.

 

Even so, this new chip does sound interesting. I don’t see myself signing up for it, but for people who are unable to experience pleasure it might be worth the trade off. The chip was originally created to help people with Parkinson’s disease. Now it’s being tried on a part of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex to treat adhedonia. Anhedonia is the inability to experience pleasure, normally including pleasure from sex.

According to neurosurgery professor Tipu Aziz, "There is evidence that this chip will work. A few years ago a scientist implanted such a device into the brain of a woman with a low sex drive and turned her into a very sexually active woman. She didn't like the sudden change, so the wiring in her head was removed."
