Title: How screwed up are our rules. . .
Post by: Mars on April 20, 2009, 02:20:47 am
So I have this female friend 17 years old and recently broken up with her boyfriend. Today she expressed a desire to be able to, not fully, but partially fulfill her sexual urges with some type of tool (dildo, vibrator, etc.)

Here's the funny thing - I, or some other over 18 year old, will need to pick one out and buy it for her.

Am I the only one who thinks that a 17 year old girl / woman should be able to buy something to masturbate with? Legally? I think that's a really stupid law that prevents that from happening.

(Just for the record, this isn't supposed to be some type of joke, farse or innuendo, I really do think that this is pretty screwed up)

That would actually be illegal in the US.  There are several things you could be charged with.  There was a case near where I live where a mother bought her daughter one and it landed her in jail.  Not some misdemeanor either a felony with the whole children serveries involved and everything.

Heck there are still a lot of places where it's illegal for adults to buy or sell them.  I think the whole state of Texas has a law against the sale of them.  There was a big deal made about it a few years back.  They were busting housewives for having those sales parties.

Back on topic, I can very easily see buying a vibrator for an underaged girl getting you into just as much hot water as actually having sex with her.

And yeah I agree... but the logic behind it, urghhh! I mean as far as what the gift is implying and the innuendo associated with it, at the end of the day, you DIDN'T **** her did you? I'm surprised some adolescent expert/psychologist hasn't jumped all over this one

Well she was a "Female Friend"

So officially "No" I'm guessing

No I didn't, we're not going out and neither of us would be comfortable with that.

But it's like ya'll pointed out - if I had sex with her it would get me in approximately as much trouble as buying her a sex toy.  :wtf:

Doesn't it require parents' consent as well?

I am just guessing, in Poland the law says so... 15 (!) to 18 can get laid, but the parents must know and declare consent. This is totally absurd... Imagine asking your parents-in-law-to-come... "Hey, can I do this with your daughter?"  :wtf:

The problem with the law is that it doesn't take into account a girl's (or boy's) puberty. I mean, it starts way before 18. So they are left without means to nullify the sex-stress. Morover, whose parents really talked to children about sex 'n' stuff and how to deal with it? You're left with yourself, your hand or whatever and dichotomy of society and religion (catholics for example... no sex before marriage... masturbation is BAD and stuff... and at the same time half-naked models in the tv or on the billboards - this sucks...)

I say, go buy her something really nice and screw the law. Nobody will know anyway. And it's not like anybody here is gonna sue you or tell the Police about it...

Yeah, there's no question that I'm going to, I was just hit with the absurdity of it.

I'm actually surprised it says 17 - I've heard all my life it's 18 here, but apparently it's kinda of a jumbled mess of laws regarding that. Adult stores only let you go in at 18
Title: Re: How screwed up are our rules. . .
Post by: Dilmah G on April 20, 2009, 05:53:46 am
That's the law for you

I think they should do what pietraz basically said and get with some reliable teenage therapist/shrink and change the law
Title: Re: How screwed up are our rules. . .
Post by: pietraz on April 20, 2009, 06:10:47 am
The problem with the law is that it barely reflects reality.

For example, do you know, that there is a law which forbids DYING (as in ceasing to live, not putting some dye on your hair) in the Houses of Parliament in the UK? :rolleyes:

That's only the top of an iceberg...

The problem with the sex law (let's call it that way) is that the legislation can't keep up with the social changes. Not to mention there surely is some puritan lobby to be found... No matter where you live. A bunch of spinsters, who never had sex will try to ban it as much as possible. Like a dog in the manger... Won't eat and won't let to eat. Welcome to reality...

It's not even banning sex at that point. I highly doubt there's anyone out there who's never masturbated, it's hard for me to comprehend anyone fully opposed to it before the age of 18  :doubt:

Make your own device? Some rules are really stupid, such as a law that forbids dying. If you get caught trying to suicide, what are they going to do? Put you in jail? To some people that could be considered torture. Then again, unless they sedate you or put you in a padded cell with no projections, holes, loose objects, etc. I don't see how they aim to prevent suicide with a rule like that.

It's not a rule about suicide. It's about death coming when you're in the metioned building. For example you've got a heart attack in the Houses of Parliament. If you die there, you've broken the law. The point is, you're dead, so how are they going to punish you now? The absurdity of law... :roll:

She's 17 and you are 19 right?... well at your age I wouldn't be thinking about buying the dildo or not... I would be thinking whether she's hitting on me or not.

have you concider that possibility?.. go ask her what she wants because you know... things like that only happen one time, and if you don't take the chance it might not happen again (at least not with the same person).

as for what is being debated about laws against sexual content for children, well I'm guessing no law is gonna stop a child that wants to get it's hand on that kind of thing and as we can see.. there's always someone that can help for whatever reason.

In North Carolina, you can start sleeping around at 16, but you aren't even allowed into a sex shop until you are 18.

Priorities, eh?

Oh, and our teachers and counselors at school aren't allowed to tell us about condoms.

Perhaps its because I live in godless pinko commie New England but our sex ed policy was not abstinence only.  The Decisions class was pretty cheesy but it certainly was informative and not driven off some archaic scare tactics.

My health (drugs, exercise, and sex-ed in one class) once said that the only bad thing that could possibly happen to a guy for masturbating is a slightly sore... y'know.

I guess my school is weird- a different teacher said that the real way to know you're ready for sex is if you can walk into a store, and get the nerve to buy your own condoms.

Extra props for the /b reference, which in itself, makes you a nerd. Deal with it.

Everyone else: Having seen porn by the age of 17 does not equal masturbation or being in a habit of masturbation. It means you've seen porn. You also don't need to be fanatically religious to not masturbate, though I'm sure  it helps to some degree.

Yea the laws get even stranger.  Even though the age of consent may be 16 say you are 17 and have a girlfriend that is 16.  You can have sex until you turn 18 and she is 17 then it's illegal again.  Just an example and I know it varies from state to state.

Never mind, we are getting offtopic here.

@iamzack - so true ^^

Back to condoms and sex-ed: it was freaked where I live. I remember not going on the classes (you didn't have to), cause at the time it was more like a disinformation rather than education. "Don't do it before wedding" "Love comes first" "Contraception is a sin" and stuff like that, instead of giving some proper advice on how to deal with your body. That was about 10-12 years ago and I observe, with great dose of relief, that they have dropped it now. Sex-ed is now what it should be in the first place. I just wanted to show how absurd some things can get.

I had forgotten about that.  Grade 5 they started...and then again in Grade 7 or 8.  Again in Grade 9.  Most of the group were pretty silly/awkward about the whole thing during each of the stages but ultimately it worked I think.

Lucky in Australia - they have "sex ed" programs for schools, the earliest being year 9 as far as I can remember, although sometimes that isn't early enough.
Year 5 here in Canada. I like our school system up here, I haven't witnessed any religious indoctrination here, it's very liberal.
I had forgotten about that.  Grade 5 they started...and then again in Grade 7 or 8.  Again in Grade 9.  Most of the group were pretty silly/awkward about the whole thing during each of the stages but ultimately it worked I think.
It's actually all the way through until 9th grade now, with regular classes starting in 7th.

Anyhow, sane sex education summed up:  Use condoms.  In the case of condom failure, use contraceptives.  Don't do somebody unless you trust that person.

Yet, as simple as this is, schools still mess it up.

As did you.

Safe sex:
-Both parties need to verbally consent.
-Know your partner's sexual history.  Trust has little to do with it, because even someone you trust may omit something.  ASK.
-Use two forms of birth control to prevent pregnancy (condom is one, but you need another).
-Apply condoms PROPERLY to prevent STI/STDs***

***This is the big one.  Most young men and women think you just shove it on, but there is an actual method to proper condom application that isn't taught in most schools.

Yes. We had some in primary school, as well. In year 9, we had to pick at least two PE or Health lessons in the year if we had done no other ones already, so I did Health in first semester in that year.

I still remember that sex and pregnancy documentary we watched where they had all the cameras in the body - I averted my eyes when they showed them having sex (I think that's what it was, and if I recall correctly, it was inside) and when the woman was giving birth. :lol:

Topic? Oh, yeah, sex stuff.

Abstinence-only is kinda dangerous to gay kids especially, as far as STDs go. They spread more rapidly among gays (especially guys) because of the idea "well, we can't get pregnant, so I guess we don't need condoms!"

All that retarded bull**** about how the AIDS virus will go through condoms... *sigh*

Heard that crap too. "No matter if you use condoms, AIDS is going to get to you anyway". That's exactly why we need sex-ed being taught at schools. Otherwise, other myths about AIDS are going to spread even wider. "Don't sit next to them, don't breathe the same air" blah blah blah, all that stuff. Or labeling them as some lepers. "Touch them and bang, you're it". Appalling...

tl;dr the other pages

Sex-ed is already being taught...

We/You need PROPER sex-ed

Abstinence only isn't going around here which is a good thing, but the thing is I feel schools, or teachers need to take into account their class when they present their lessons and adjust accordingly. iamzack's "derro" class obviously isn't going to benefit from abstinence only, so

- Curriculum Change
- Teacher takes into account students
- Students get taught about STI's without shock/scare therapy, students discuss with each other and are taught REAL ways to avoid being pressured into sex and the "Cause and Effect" of sex

Abstinence Only doesn't work because while it may have some effect on the average age at which people start having sex it means that once they do, they have very little clue on how to prevent pregnancies or STIs or of the ramifications of either.

The end result is an increase in unwanted pregnancies and STIs.

Porn, the media, and peer pressure don't make it anyyyyyyy easier

So if they know that they have more control over their hormones than most why are they insisting that everyone else can have the same amount of control?

Besides, it could be that they simply have less hormones to start with and the belief they have more control is just that.

On the other hand, if you are responsible enough not to get pregnant when you don't want to or get a disease, you shouldn't *have* to control your hormones so much. If you want to have sex, go find someone who also wants to have sex. If you regret it later, that's unfortunate. But people regret a lot of things, so no biggie.

Yes, because people are always having sex, all the time, from the moment they hit puberty. And if they're not, well we all know they want to, so its just because they can't get any.

Really we should be teaching our children to make themselves uglier, so that they can't have sex even if they want to. It's the only 100% foolproof way  of both keeping them from STD's and unwanted pregnancies, as well as giving them some kind of education.

abstinence-only is NOT sex-ed. it is antisex-ed.

It is also statistically proven that it doesn't keep people from having sex,
but increases the propability that people have unprotected sex (i.e. no proper sex ed. = clueless).

Did a paper on the whole thing a while back and the data available for US teenage pregnancies supported that scenario as well.
Teenage pregnancies in the US were way up there in comparison to all other industrialized western countries and especially way higher than in "supposedly sinful Europe" lol.

So yeah... great plan. Teach em ignorrance, err abstinence! only leads to higher STD infection risk and teenage pregancies. Great plan! NOT.

after my 18th birthday where i got literally... well, 10 liters of beer and the downing a quarter litre of brandy explain anything? stonewall is nothing.


anyways, after that, its rather odd for me to drink even one beer in a month... tho, when i have the moneys i go to a local pub and buy me some weston's cider. oh cider i love thee soooo :p the fun part? its almost 3 and some euros per half-litre... gah.


off for some westons tomorrow dammit XD

something related to the original topic: isn't it kind of unfair that there's stuff for girls, and not men? (And further more- stuff you can get that's not suspicous?)

Iunno. I don't think so. I think it's that there's more of a market for the type of thing females would use for masturbation as opposed to what men would use. Men can use "girl toys" if tht's what they're into, but otherwise I guess there's, like, the masturbation sleeves?

Porn is made for men rather than women, so I guess it balances out.

Actually studies have shown that more women watch porn then men at least on the net.

I'm sure some guys make up for some of that just by sheer quantity.

It's more important for women to have access to sex toys, because orgasm isn't an easy skill for all women (unlike most men.) Furthermore, men aren't all that naturally well-equipped to bring women to orgasm, so sex toys can be important for new lovers of both sexes.

Honestly she started talking about wanting one when we were both drunk and watching random porn (I didn't touch the computer, it was all her)

That's why it was a question.

I notice a trend in humanity in general...

Any time there is Random Dumb ****™ happening to people that is retold first or third hand, it usually involves:

and by Random Dumb ****™, I mean things you would expect to hear about Rednecks doing from the Local News.

Things like this are why I don't drink and don't really fraternize with the opposite sex, nothing but trouble....

Honestly, how does that even qualify as dumb ****? No one was hurt, no property was destroyed, no feelings were harmed. Nothing bad happened to anything but our livers.

I would never go on amphetamines, and narcotic pain killers don't work for me (as I found out after surgery).

Any possibility of sex is a good one :P

Why alcohol is written twice? And amphetamine is considered a drug after all, so why written separately?

Besides, if you drink till you drop, it's obviously not good. But for example, I like to drink a glass or two of some wine once in a while. Then again, I don't consider myself doing some Random Dumb ****™ after that... Is it that you're prejudiced against alcohol? I mean, everything's for people. Just be responsible and everything will be cool.
