Sex Then: Sex Now

Junior High is Quite Different Now

What happened to kids? Why did they lose there self-esteem? Back in the 1970's there was less stress on girls for having sex. Sure, boys put pressure on girls, but girls were more eager to say no. They wouldn't get past second base. Parents paid better attention on their kids than they do now. They knew where there kids were and who they were with. If they weren't home, they knew exactly where they were.

Girls were more interested in holding hands and getting that first kiss. The romance of it all is exciting. It made their heart race and their imagination soar. Boys were more interested in just holding hands and getting that first kiss. They were interested in getting the first touch and even more.

As a girl growing up during this time, a girl that had sex was the outcast. Girls would talk about them in shame. Usually, the girls that had sex wouldn't care, because they had that attitude of being easy.

It seems girls of today are way too permissive. They don't seem to hide the fact that they have had sex. They are actually proud that they do. They walk around with shirts that don't cover enough, which leaves no imagination for the boys. Girls are now more interested in sex than they used to be. The romance is no longer there as the boys don't stay around long enough since they got what they wanted on the first night. Girls are more angry and resentful at the boys. Boys are interested in fourth base. Once they've had it, they are ready to move on to the next girl. The more they have, the higher the boys are rated amongst their peers.

So what happened to our kids? Why did it change from saying no to saying yes? Is it because of TV or cable television? Do they see too much? Could it be because parents are not around to oversee their kids? In our society today, both parents have to work. They do not have time to stay home and oversee the kids. Kids have freedom to roam the streets and take that opportunity. There is more peer pressure to say yes. The outcast today is the girls that say no. They are pressured into having sex.

The next time you want to blame the parents, the boys, and the girls, stop and think about it. Should you really be blaming the parents? Should you be blaming society? In my opinion, I would say we need to blame society. We have caused our children to be put in this situation. Yes, we have to work. Yes, we have to put food on the table. Yes, it takes a two family income to survive. Yes, society has caused this!

    Alright maybe junior high kids shouldn't be having sex, but most of them still aren't. As for older people I think more women are becoming open to the idea of equality among the two sexes. Sex is fun. Women don't want to have to be quietly pursued anymore. They want to be able to go out and have some no strings sex, and be just as eager as the guy to leave the next day. Sex is fun, with someone you love it means more, but with someone you don't it's still a lot of fun. We're moving away from the expired idea that only guys like sex, and that girls, or women rather, are supposed to swat away any and all advances. We all love sex, and as long as it's done safely, it should be done as much as anyone wants it.

    Great article. I just impress upon my kids the fact that, they need to get their schooling & careers done, live life, then think about settling down. I point out how hard it has been on us (as I was that teen parent) and how I wish I could have given them more. They understand and have set high goals for themselves. Now I just hope and pray that they do not stray. But yes, society as a whole, pushes sex far too much these days.
