I don't care if this particular "purity ball" is less skeevy than some of the others, it is still creepy. Oh my god it is still creepy. These things give me hives. Someone link me some dirty, dirty porn to make it go away.

Ew. ew ew ew ew ewwwwwwww,

That really sounds skeevy as all hell.

Here (http://beachlass.livejournal.com/34279.html), have some dirty thoughts about Sasuke.

[maeveth.livejournal.com]

I can't speak for Jaina but THANK YOU for those dirty thoughts.

I'mma be thinkin' up some Sasuporn now.

*is horrified*

Ew. Ew. Ew, ew, ew.

I'm sure I've shown you this before, but it's sufficiently dirty to distract until angstymcgoth comes up with something laughingly horrid. Spengs in Toyland

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure Nori's Links o' Horror won't traumatize me worse than this.

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

That's less skeevy?

I don't want to see the more skeevy ones.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

The article sorta claims that it's less skeevy because at least the daughters aren't the ones making promises out loud, but I'm not so sure.

[caitlin.livejournal.com]

Why does the very concept of "purity balls" remind me of either the "vestal virgins" or that the fathers are eventually going to ask for their daughters to be turned into human sacrifices?

ew.

I don't have any porn, sorry... (I'm at work!)

DING. You're on to something.

Heh, I don't think I can really read/watch/look at any until I leave work, either. But it's comforting to know it's there.

"But studies have also shown that most teenagers who take abstinence pledges, like those at some purity balls, end up having sex before marriage, and they are far less likely to use condoms than their peers."

'Nuff said. >_<

[aevalin.livejournal.com]

Not to mention the number of teenage girls that do everything but actual vaginal intercourse because as long as they haven't done that they're technically virgins. They'll give away blow jobs and in some cases have anal sex because of the loop hole.

I am so sorry I know about the existence of those now. I don't know if the total failure to recognize a developing Electra complex makes it worse or not.

Here, have Crack!Porn.

Dean Winchester picks up Dani Reese and they have sex.

Spike picks up a big girl and Xander and they have sex.

The Doctor fails at picking up Donna Noble, but there's sex anyway.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Crack!Porn is the best porn, truly.

[maeveth.livejournal.com]

OH GOD.

I'm SO horrified right now. There are no words.

I have to go drown myself in yaoi now.

[enogitna.livejournal.com]

What do they do for the boys?

[jaina.livejournal.com]

*snort* Do you really need to ask?

[franwi.livejournal.com]

I like how the shot includes the girl in the blue low-cut slit dress. Always nice to see daddy's little girl showing off plenty of cleavage and leg at the purity ball.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

*shudder*

[andmydog.livejournal.com]

But after dessert, the 57 men stood and read aloud a covenant "before God to cover my daughter as her authority and protection in the area of purity."

I was trying to write incest porn, like, today. OH MY GOD SO BLOCKED NOW.

[angstymcgoth.livejournal.com]

Jesus is such a cock-block.

[kasuchi]

They're all creepy and GROSS GROSS GROSS.

[emiweebee.livejournal.com]

I do appreciate the fact that they are now shunting the burden onto the shoulders of the Adult Role Models, but the whole thing skeeves me.

LOL especially now, since my dad has been all, "O hai, let me talk about my man parts" because of the cancer.

[sailormac.livejournal.com]

That . . . is enough to make one hurl.

Well, I don't know if you're into D. Gray-Man at all, but here is a fic about overprotective big brother Komui thinking his sister Lenalee's virtue is safe, not knowing what she's doing with *two* guys at once.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

omg, that was funny.

[offscreen.livejournal.com]

You read Jezebel too, eh. Stories like that make me a) STABBY and b) grateful I don't live in the Bible Belt anymore and thus am less likely to encounter such things as purity balls.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I do from time to time, but this one I found from a link at the top of gmail, I think. Stabby stabby either way.

[cantspell.livejournal.com]

this is one of those things that I like the components, but not the whole. Fathers spending time with their daughters=good! Encouraging abstinence=good! (I'm obv. not on the NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE OR DEATH bandwagon, but I think encouraging teenagers to make thoughtful choices re: sex is never bad)...but this whole thing, eww. For one thing (and my dad is not the kind who ever would've taken me to something like this anyway, haha) I would be weirded out if my dad is taking a pledge to protect my virginity. Uh, eww. Not to mention not realistic. How about just pledging to support your daughter, encourage her to make good choices, set an example of what a responsible adult looks like? And while I'm all for promoting abstinence vs. the hookup culture, I think you also have almost a moral obligation to also teach responsible sexual behavior, because you know that not all kids are going to keep their 'virginity pledge' and wouldn't you rather have them do it safely? Not to mention, if you just teach JESUS SEZ DUN HAVE SEX and leave it at that...I work at a catholic school. we have plenty of girls blowing every dude on the block but think they're still a virgin because they've never had penetrative sex. I don't think we do anyone a favor by oversimplifying it like that.

not to mention, if the statistics are true and as many as 1 in 3 girls are sexually abused sometime in their life (most of them before adulthood)...can you imagine how those girls are going to take all this overemphasis on 'impure'=worthless? Because somehow I doubt 'people like this' take special care to reinforce that being abused doesn't make you 'unclean in the eyes of the Lord.'

ugh, shutting up now.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

In summary: It makes kitty sad. :(

[roserevolution.livejournal.com]

No porn but ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Ew. Ew. Ew.

I agree with all the commenters who point out that these pledges result in sexual acts anyways, just no penis + va-jay-jay. "It's okay baby, blow jobs don't count!" >_< I am so squicked out. I'm reading those Christian magazine stories! Weeee!

[dougras.livejournal.com]

They are the best stories. The one about being translated by God out of a crashing airplane (apparently the only one! God apparently doesn't care much for the others in the plane) is amazing for the line: "Suddenly, the jetliner was gone!"

That was especially amazing because the story wasn't finished - it asked you, the readers, to send in the ending of the story. As an audio-drama.

And I found a link to The Next Fithian which is that story.

[laurie-bunter.livejournal.com]

Er... I don't have a problem with abstinence but this quote was really creepy:

"Fathers, our daughters are waiting for us."

Oh yeah, baby! Saving our daughters for ourselves. Hypocrisy mixed up with incest is my real squick.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

I think teenagers (and non-teens) should be able to say no and wait if that's what they want. But man, this is not the way to go about it. Shudder shudder.

[sarcasticval.livejournal.com]

There--there are balls? Oh my god. *sputters incoherently*

[07janina07.livejournal.com]

I think my brain broke. I don't have a problem with abstinence but this is the wrong way to go about it.

I think I need porn, right about now.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

You and me both, sister.
