Bill Maher again. In his show (and on Salon.com), he said this:New Rule: Abstinence pledges make you horny. A new eight-year study just released reveals that American teenagers who take "virginity" pledges of the sort so favored by the Bush administration wind up with just as many STDs as the other kids.
But that's not all -- taking the pledges also makes a teenage girl six times more likely to perform oral sex, and a boy four times more likely to get anal. Which leads me to an important question: where were these pledges when I was in high school? I've spent a little time trying to find other news about this report, have found nothing, and am somewhat suspicious, especially because Maher's comments came out on April 1. Can anyone else find anything?

I've read the same thing many times, and not on April Fools.
It sounds logical to me. Teens will have sex. It's just sad that the girls get marginalized to only performing oral sex on boys...we don't hear of the boys reciprocating. That's selfish and anti-woman. Someone teach those boys some manners!!! |

| I solemnly [sp?] pledge my total abstinence until end-of-college. |
