Reply #78: That's silly and you know it. We are not talking about outlawing it--only about

restricting it at school functions.

I think masturbation should also be restricted at school functions, and a lot of freak dancing really is public masturbation. Does that mean I want to outlaw underage masturbation. Hell no! I am with Jocelyn ELders on that--I think kids should be encouraged to use masturbation as a way of relieving sexual tension. But I would prefer that they do it privately, not on the school dance floor.

By the way, have you given any consideration to those youngsters who might be embarrassed by their more forward peers who engage in extreme behavior on the dance floor? Why should all public spaces and all public activities be ceded to the most aggressive, obnoxious, and exhibitionistic among us?
