Multiple afternoon memage by order of [profile] popfiend , [personal profile] bedsitter23  and [profile] thelastaerie . Because this is how we get to know each other on teh Internets.

1. What you already know about me:


You Are 72% Evil

You are very evil. And you're too evil to care.
Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot.


2. What you didn’t know about me:

You Are Root Beer

Ultra sweet and innocent, you have a subtle complexity behind your sugary front.
Children love you, but so do high end snobs... when you're brewed right.

Your best soda compatibility match: Dr. Pepper

Stay away from: Diet Coke


(Which explains my fondness for chili dogs.)

3. And what you didn’t want to know about me even though you kinda suspected:


You can credit [profile] thelastaerie with that one. She dared me, you see – knowing full well that I’ll answer any sex question anyone asks me. See the first meme for additional information.

Ask me anything,

ITEM: A new study by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco reports that teens who have sex are more likely to value refraining from it than those who don’t.

The study also reports that the percentage of teens who report solely positive benefits from not having sex declines precipitously with age.

Which basically means that, if yr not getting laid – and if it’s yr choice – it’s better to know what yr missing than to not know.

Some of the results sound obvious – TISM summed the whole thing up in a song a couple years back without the benefit of science. Still, it’s interesting that the study looks at teen sex from a different angle: how teens feel about NOT having sex, and how those feelings affect them later on when they do start. Why is this important?

“Teens are assessing how they feel about refraining from sexual behaviors based upon how having sex makes them feel – and those feelings become increasingly influential over time ... Refraining from sexual behavior should feel rewarding, and engaging in sexual behavior should be based on maturity and readiness ... We often focus on abstinence in sex education programs. It may be that, when we do this exclusively, we’re not meeting the needs of those adolescents who choose to be sexually active, and may be failing to give them the tools to select the most caring partners for them, the right occasions for engaging in sex, and the best strategies for engaging in safer sexual behavior.”

Which is why conservatives hate scientists. They always complicate things. Why fret over nuances about how young people feel in real life when you can just say, “DON’T HAVE SEX OR GOD WILL PUNISH YOU FOREVER THE END!”

Fuck science. Fear is the thing. Works like a charm. Except when it doesn’t. Which is most of the time.

Wankers. (See what I did there?)

Sexual healing,
