media. teen pregnancy.

(image from abcnews.com)

so the younger Spears is pregnant while claiming that kids should wait and not have premarrital sex. i guess she just didnt want to wait till 21 to lose her virginity, as that would be "too late", right?

it is a good time to talk about what message is being sent. GMA brought it up, i didnt, that abstinence-only sex ed does not work, on the other hand, people who learn earlier in life about this important life experience, knowing the consequences, will delay and use protection if they choose to have sex.

a report also emphasized the fact that young 16-yr-old Spears met the father of her baby, who's 18 (only) at a CHURCH. what, again, is implied?

losing virginity "LATE"

this was in the news:

Losing Virginity Later Linked to Sexual Problems

Those Who Have Sex Later, Particularly Men, Seem to Experience More Sexual Dysfunction

"Those who lose their virginity at a later age -- around 21 to 23 years of age"

21-23 is LATE. wonderful.

sexuality is a life long experience as I explained in previous posts, and like mentioned in the article, abstinence-only education does not work statistically in preventing teen/unwanted pregnancy. People should be taught about their sexuality and know consequences of unprotected sex.
But as a Christian, I wonder what our society has become. are we encouraging "early"/premarital sex?

"瑪利諾畢業生都患上了嚴重的<瘋狂愛校症>"

everyone is quoting and posting this.
it hurts that im still not over it.
i'd say its the negativity of mcs that shaped my positivity.
i's admit i love the school, but i've experienced too much of its darker side.
having been away for two years, u hope things have changed for the better.

advertising and women's health

advertising women health products: to promote women's health or corporate interest?

create needs and sell unnecessary products
playing with mythical beliefs and ignorance
using limited discussion and avaibility of knowledge.

christianity. feminisim.

are true christians feminists?

men and women are equal in God's eyes
they just have different roles in family and in society.

our society as a heterosexual institute is how the world was created and meant to be
it is not us who made it "seem like" a norm.

be bold. be true.

society.virginity.sexuality.

definition of sex vs. definition of virginity
both determined by society.
but what is the reality?

we've always known sex as reproductive sex, that 'real sex' is penis-in-vagina sex.
however, there is more truth to the sexual culture, the way society defines sex.

1. sexuality is a birth-to-death experience.
unlike reproduction, sexuality is NOT turned on at puberty and off at menopause. even if one is not sexually active s/he still has sexuality.
2. sex is not defined by penis-in-vaginal sex.
only a handful times of sex in life is for reproductive purpose. it is wrong(!) to believe that only penis can take away one's virginity.
health issues: other forms of sex also need protection. there is a lot more to prevent than just pregnancy.
3. orgasm gap should not be accepted as a norm.
statistics: 75% heterosexual male have orgasm in partner sex while only 29% of heterosexual women do. another 1/3 of women admits they only sometimes have orgasm while the other 1/3 claim that they never do.
the reason why orgasm for women has become optional is the misunderstanding of sex as P in V sex. orgasm for women is acheieved by clitoral stimulation and not vaginal stimunlation. this is why in P in V sex women rarely have orgasm (and sometimes have to fake it) and is also why women can easily achieve orgasm by masturbation. while for men, P in V sex is the way most pleasurable way to have orgasm.
to think that vaginal stimulation can achieve orgasm for women is the same as saying testicular stimulation can bring men orgasm.
4. women also want sex.
it is insulting for both M/F to say that women want intamacy and men want sex. women are also sexual while men also have emotions.


discussions on sensitive topics are healthy, there are so many more myths and issues that need to be addressed. truth needs to be revealed, our society cannot continue to assume.

so much for now.
hope this information can stimulate some thinking.
i just wanted to share this because it got me thinking more about it.
