Son, It's Okay If You Don't Get Laid Tonight

Interesting read.

The truth is most of the rapes women experience are perpetrated by people they know and trust. So fully educating boys during their formative years about what constitutes consent and why it's important to practice explicitly asking for consent could potentially eradicate a large swath of acquaintance rape. It's not a condemnation on their character or gender, but an extra set of tools to help young men approach sex without damaging themselves or anyone else.


"Son, It's Okay If You Don't Get Laid Tonight"
Hey kid. You’re at an age where I’m pretty sure you’re about to have sex soon, or actually, you might even already be having it and you’re just *that* good at keeping it from me. I don’t really fret over that because I trust you. And because I trust myself and the job I’ve done as your parent all these years. Talking or joking about sex was never an uncomfortable, taboo topic in our house, and we’ve talked about protection, about your responsibility for it, about teen pregnancy, about abortion, about sexually transmitted diseases, about the role masturbation plays in keeping one from entering less-than-ideal relationships. We’ve talked about the girls you like, and I’ve always made sure to ask what it is about her personality that does it for you (is she smart? is she hilarious? confident? do you read the same kind of books or does she have different tastes? is she a gamer, too?) and her looks have never been the thing we focus on.

That wasn't written for the boy. No teenage boy would read something that long and convoluted.

That is so beyond ridiculous. Not the message -- that's fine. But it really was NOT written to be accessed by the intended audience. The intended audience isn't a boy. The intended audience is other adults who will push it on social media.

I bet it was written by a DCUM reader. Sounds just like this group.

People are sharing this junk? It's poorly written, boring and too long.
