Isn't it ironic that doodles pretend to be all prudish and Victorian-like, when it's generally accepted that American women are the loosest slappers in the world. (Board members excepted of course)
why are american's so repressed?

What's a truer measure of repression is if you're still doing the same things in the bedroom at 30 that you were doing at 20.
Having sex at 14 is not a sign of lack of repression, it's a sign of stupidity.

I wouldn't call it stupidity, I would call it a basic natural drive.

Originally posted by keithstg:Well as the decades pass, the age children are reaching physical maturity is getting younger and younger. Its not unusual for girls to start developing 2ndry sexual characteristics at 9 or 10. Therefore I dont think its much of a surprise that children are having sex younger and younger.

Personally, I couldnt wait to get a shag.
All I know is when I was a lad sailing the seven seas…if your ship was pulling into a US port you were guaranteed you were going to get some whos-yer-daddy.

Physical development may be speeding up, but emotional maturity levels are definitely being delayed.

Years ago, people were in general independent of their parents and living life by the time they were 18. They had to grow up quicker.
Now, many more are out drinking, fucking, and living selfish self-centered lives while still living off of their parent's dime.

I don't think expecting a certain degree of public decorum necessarily equals being repressed.
That being said,we do have a kind of twisted dichotomy when it comes to honest discourse on sexuality vs. packaged sexual themes every time you turn around.
I think porn (or television of any kind) in a moving vehicle on the road is probably a bad idea, though. Why can't the rich brats just color, read a book or play a game?

In a more technological world people are attaining higher levels of education, someone has to pay for that education.

But where do you come up with the "self-centered" lives bit? How does a 22-year old lead an "other-centered" life while trying to start out, first job, first apt, barely making it…
Plus, aren't we talking about 18 year olds (since 1999, specifically)…is this bitterness over parents who didn't pay for college, or did you refuse to drink & fuck because you were on your parents' dime.
It's not bitterness. It's just truth. I don't think most people truly develop emotionally until they have someone else in life whose emotional well being they are in part responsible for, i.e. a life partner or a life partner and children.
And people, myself included tend to delay those things more these days in lieu of sowing their wild oats.
At my age, my parents had been married for 15 years, and had had a kid for 9 years. Surely, they were more emotionally developed at 36 than I am.

Originally posted by Bags:trouble is, it's not just 22 year olds…it's 28 year olds, 30 year olds, 36 year olds…not sure who's "barely making it" of the ilk we're talking about here…

If you have kids you are forced into maturity, there is little option. But defering that probably has a lot to do with the different opportunites you had in life than your parents did. A more educated person will probably have a family later, not least because its seen as easier to have a family after, not during the education stage.
