Ok, so back to sex

I mentioned the other night about a promo I saw for this Katie Couric special Teens and Sex. Well, tonight as I was perusing my Medical Terminology book so I can sound intelligent in class tomorrow, I had the program on in the background. Let me just say that I was amazed at what some of the kids on the show were saying. There were a couple of 13 year olds in the group that had no problem engaging in intelligent debate about the sexual trends of their generation. It was astounding. I wasn't naive at that age to say the least, but I wasn't "trading tips" with the guys during lunch either. Anyway, don't want to write a whole thesis on the sexual habits of young teens here, but all I can really say is wow.

Other than that, I'm still pretty tired so I'm heading to bed. Those of you who know me well should most definitely call and ask me about my new class. It was quite an experience and I'm sure I will have many stories to tell. :-) (And if you are a classmate - two words summed up that class for me - "boyish charm")

[P.S. for those of you not in my class, please do not assume the boyish charm comment has anything to do with me. I think I have proven that I have no charm whatsoever. None.] ;-)

  • Are you saying that you're friends with Ryan et. al. and NOT in grad school for computer science? (gasp!) I'm pleasantly surprised.

  • Hey Courtney, I fall into that category as well!

    Eric, its good to see you are keeping a blog. Sounds like everything is going well for you in grad school! Law school is a pain as usual, but I'm getting along. Anyway, we ought to hang out some time. Its only about 40 mins from Williamsburg to Richmond!

    As for the sex thing, its pretty astonishing (and unfortunate). That said, its important to keep in mind that they are going to find the most extreme examples for these documentaries. I know sex happens as early as 13 but it isn't terribly common. By 17 or so is another story, but I think everyone knew that.

    Anyway, have a good one bro!
