Reader Feedback on "Truth or Dare"
If "rainbow parties" really happened, the lipstick residue would come off in the undershorts of the boys involved. Since their mothers do their kids' laundry, they would have known about such an event within days after the first one happened. Since it has not been reported anywhere that any suspicious moms have found colored lipstick marks in the underwear of their sons, it's safe to say that this whole "rainbow party" think is A COMPLETE MYTH.

As a teacher in an urban middle school, I can testify that these things do go on here. We have caught kids in empty classrooms and the stories abound. Sadly, some of our girls were accepting compensation in the market of two dollars. Sex education does need to be revisted.
But the thing is that these kids are so afraid of real sex and the ramifications that oral sex is their, not unhealthy alternative. I wasn't a big teenage slut or anything, but I was doing the deed in my teenage years. As I recall, quite a few kids were.
Its not a tragedy. Its nothing new. But we need to educate these kids about STDs and all the ways that they can spread.

You nailed it! What would the country do without all these transparent myths? I admit to reading Maulkin, and to agreeing with her often, but she described this book as a "children's book." To me, the means Sylvester and the Purple Crayon, or the Polar Express. This obviously is no kids book. Can't you see 15 year-olds reading this stuff and just keeling over with laughter? Once again, teens are subjected to this lust-filled yet romantic notion of what it means to be young and horny as recalled by and/or imagined by post-post-adolescent men. Great piece!

Love your comments, but as a conservative I have grown increasing aware that there many, many that I have know that are also conservative and generally republican that think the same about sex. In other words, oral sex is fine, fun and good and we need to be more open about stuff especially with our kids. I also find that many that I know that are more “liberal” and vote more democratic have similar views and ideas about the subject. Further, I am finding that many of the conservatives are more liberal in sex area than the liberals. Finally, why is it that conservatives will admit they are conservative while liberals will run away from the label? I know my research is limited and not scientific, but the general labeling does not work like it used to. The generalization never works. Maybe Nerve needs to do a study? Love your stuff.

as a house painter in upstate New York i can not attest to the validity of these underage rainbow parties. However i have noticed that after a month or so of self gratification the oil based paints leave a residue, not unlike a rainbow, on my ding ding.
