Is it really that odd? Generally speaking women are the ones that control when sex happens, and as long as thats true a male getting sex is going to be seen as a conquest and a female whos an easy conquest will be seen as a slut. Not saying its right or true in every case, just that its not surprising theres a double standard on how sexual promiscuity is viewed when control rests primarily on one of the genders.
Well, it doesn’t really shock me anymore, but it’s sad that people buy into it so well. I mean, the way I look at it is that a man who’s looking to have as much sex with as many different people as possible, and a woman who’s looking to have as much sex with as many different people as possible, are equal.
If I were close friends with the parents and had substantial reason to believe that their child was participating in unsafe activities, yes I would voice my concerns. I would not, however, say, “Dude, your son’s a skank!”
For some reason, probably the “-field” in your name, my mental image of you was as Rodney Dangerfield appearing on the Simpsons.

This spear, it is a metaphor, yes?
I would want to know. It would be an act of kindness in my book to let me know my child might be engaged in a potentially life threating social life.
- I believe Teens are the least likely to use condoms
- Aids still ruins/ends lives
- If my child was that promiscuous it might be indicating additional problems
- Grandpa sound like a terrible title if my child is only 15

Second. Run, fast, far away from this trainwreck-in-th-making.
But feel free to send me her phone number!
OH, NO! :smack: I forgot! You said she was jailbait! Forget it!
While at 35 I am not necessarily thrilled to find myself within the “older doper” age bracket, I think I am older than you so, FWIW:
I was a tomboy all my teenage years. I looked like a boy when I was 15. I had no interest in sex and the idea was a mixture of repulsion and curiosity, mostly repulsion (thanks my nun teachers). But, I wore the 80’s version of “pornstar clothing”. As a matter of fact I had a t-shirt that read “NON-VIRGINS CLUB” when I was 14. That one lasted like five minutes until my mom find out what that one was about (she doesn’t speak English).
Anyways, for all the hoage of my clothing style when I was 14 I waited until I was 19 to have sex for the first time. Not a bad record.
And to the OP: Rumors and clothes says nothing a girl’s sexual life. It is none of your bussiness unless you are EXTREMELLY close to the parties concerned, and even so, the best thing might be for you to keep your mouth shut.
Cite?
Okay: This Forum is called “In my Humble Opinion” I cite myself thinking and believing that males are the least likely to wear Condoms. See I prefaced my statement with I believe, this means it is not a fact but an opinion. Very possible an incorrect and badly formed opinion.

**Please replace Males with Teens above: **
Fair enough. I believe teens who have had proper health education are as likely as anyone to use condoms, particularly since condoms may be the only form of contraception they can get without their parents’ knowledge. The “safe sex” message has been pretty pervasive in our culture for many years.
I don’t think that it’s anyone’s business but the daughter’s whether or not she tells her parents about her sex life. If she wants them to know, they’ll know, and otherwise everyone should just butt out of her life.
You might think that telling them is being nothing but helpful, but you have no idea what the fallout of such a statement could be. Dropping that bomb could cause a rift in the family that never gets better.
My best friend in high school was a beautiful sexy redhead that transferred in from another school her sophmore year. She had long nails she painted red. This was the 1980s, so the porn style clothes were a little different, but she certainly dressed suggestively for the period. Rumor was that she’d done the entire hockey team at a party. That she had an abortion. That she would put out for anyone.
She was a virgin 'til her freshman year in college, when she lost it to a guy she’d dated for six months before she let it happen.
All those rumors were really hurtful to her. What had happened is that she had gone out with one of the jocks, didn’t put out, but he couldn’t admit to his buddies - after all the predate bragging he’d done about nailing her based on her looks - that she didn’t. So he told stories. And his friends told stories. And before you know it, the whole school knew what a slut she was.
I was blown away when a friend at my college told me that she was “the whore” in high school even though she never dressed suggestively nor had sex (or anything remotely close). She’s actually a die-hard goodie-two-shoes (she is voluntarily going to transfer to a school where students can get fined or kicked out for being alone with a member of the opposite sex or having tobacco or R-rated movies in their rooms or going to dances) but she had a lot of male friends. One of these friends had a jealous girlfriend who started rumors about her, and then she was an outcast.
Not really. But it’s history now, and hopefully you managed to dodge all the bullets.
