So I'm watching The View this morning; mostly because I had a kid-free house and am not used to watching anything that doesn't involve singing animated animals. Anyway, they were discussing the UK's decision to encourage masturbation because of their high teen pregnancy rate.
The white christian chick was all 'that's all fine and dandy, but they should be focusing on things like waiting for commitment and emotional intimacy'. That got me really irritated.
The problem with this POV is that it mixes up physical attraction with emotional attraction. It's one of the reasons teen pregnancies happen! An ignorant girl feels sexually attracted to some guy and talks herself into emotional attraction *because* girls are supposed to be in love with guys they sleep with! Argh!
Instead, we need to teach girls (and boys) the *differences* between sexual attraction and emotional attraction. And that it's all right to feel sexual attraction WITHOUT emotional attraction! Teach them that when their heart goes 'pitter-patter' because a cute boy smiles at them, it's a physiological response and does NOT mean they are in love.
