Are there Mother-Son purity balls?
All over I seem to hear about and read about Father-Daughter purity balls (this is apparently a big hobby in religious fundy homes). The purpose seems to be to encourage girls to remain "pure" until marriage by not having sex.

Yet I never seem to hear about Mother-Son purity balls to encourage those same values in boys. If these people want the girls to remain chase, it would seem that they should feel just as passionately about the boys living those same values.

So, where are the Mother-Son purity balls?

2. Dontcha know mothers don't know nuthin bout that sex stuff
Edited on Sun Nov-21-10 08:29 PM by lunatica
boys are taught that their mothers are chaste and submissive only. And paradoxically they believe their mothers are virgins.

4. of course not. They want the men/boys to enjoy and understand all that
sex have to offer. It is the female which needs to be pure. It is the female that needs to be dumb when it comes to sex.

35. so is there one Wonder Woman who is having sex with all these guys?
I never understand this line of reasoning. I realize you're not advocating this.

6. It's a double standard thing.
Boys can sleep around as much as they like, but girls are supposed to be pure and virginal.

Yet another in a long line of rules I had nothing to do with creating.

7. Does make you wonder, though, doesn't it?
If all the girls are being pure, where are the boys channeling their urges? I mean, they're the ones with the allegedly painful balls and all of that, from not having sex...

Is having sex with sheep and cows considered sinful?

36. LOL! Right when Turtleface hatches everyone exclaims at how horrible it is.
And right at the end of that cacaphony of disgust you can just make out regular Stormy going "That's NASTY!".

Heh heh, ever since I saw that episode I try to do a Stormy impression whenever I say "That's NASTY!"- and I am a greater person for it.

28. All wrong
Little fundie girls need purity balls including their fathers beacause even little fundie girls are filthy sluts waiting to happen.

Little fundie boys do NOT need balls because their fundie Mamas have enough to ruin them for the rest of their lives.

30. They have them. They're not as popular, though.
I had friends in college whose mothers had given them purity rings, and that was decades ago. I'm sure it's still around and still going strong.

33. I'm probably crazy, but this reminds me of a recent Joy Behar show discussion...
Edited on Sun Nov-21-10 11:09 PM by spooky3
she had a so-called "sex therapist" on to discuss married sports stars' having affairs (Parker-Longoria). This guy repeatedly insisted that married women have affairs for different reasons than married men do. The men are "opportunistic" (e.g., if someone seems to be interested at a party) but that it means nothing to them, whereas the women do it because they are unhappy in their relationships and/or are passionate about the "other man." (Of course there was no discussion of the sexism of this observation, and even if it were true, it may simply reflect sexist role expectations, i.e., it's ok for men to have casual sex but women are supposed to be "in love.")

My question is: If the sex expert is correct, exactly who are all these married men having meaningless affairs with?
--Married women who are in love with them but it's unreciprocated? (seems very hard to believe)
--Those huge #s of supposedly desperate single women (are there so many of those around relative to single men so that they are all hooking up with married men? And are they in love with these guys the way he claims married women are?) or
--Other men?

Just didn't add up.
