Belgian wives call for a political sex strike until government resumes
Remember Lysistrata? Of course you do: it's that ancient Greek comedy about a bunch of women who decide to withhold sex from their husbands until they cut out all their stupid wars. Well, some Belgian ladies — wives of Parliamentarians — are doing the same thing. Small western European countries: at once so ancient and yet so modern, so enviably level-headed and yet so fucking weird.

On the last point, every secondary school in the UK has a school nurse or health visitor that you can ask for free contraception and has done for several years, certainly since I left school 6 years ago. I believe the only case in which they won't give out contraception is if a girl under 16 needs a morning after pill, then they have to inform the parents first.
I am outgoing, caring, fun loving person, who likes to try new things. I love going to the beach, exercising, snowboarding, & skydiving. I also love animals.hot stuff Wanna hook up with a sexy blonde who's a total freak in bed? I'm sure you do Ask me anything if you wanna know more! Check out my profile at biromances.com
Uh yeah and Skins as you may know is a British show...so you can be doubly mad at the UK...who would have thought, teenagers take drugs and have sex!
When I was nearly 16 my mother brought up birth control as a good way of dealing with my horrific periods, but we both know that she was really just trying to protect me and my soon-to-be sexually active self. I don't think that her allowing me to take oral contraceptives encouraged me to have sex, but it did make me feel more comfortable talking to her.
This was a year ago, and I'm still a virgin.
I came across somewhere (damned if I can remember where) that in countries with a lower age of consent people actually tend to wait longer to lose their virginity. Personally I think the age of consent here being 16 is pretty good. Not so young that teenagers can't realise the possibly implications, but young enough that hormones don't drive you crazy for years and end up having underage sex.
How do you find the hookers on FB?
Action reqiuers knowledge, and now I can act!
