For Thousands Of Years...

Old people have tried to keep young people from having sex - with each other, at least. So far, nothing the adults have tried has stopped the adolescents from sexual activity. Just guessing here, but I'd hazard a guess that they think it's fun. Perhaps they're even feeling somewhat driven. One of the methods being given a good try by the moral leaders of the USA is to tell the youngsters not to have sex! Apparently these old guys remember that they listened to their parents and went along with what the parents told them to do. They do say that memory is the second thing to go with age.Rep. Larry Liston (R. Colorado Springs) says here we should shame the "sluts" . I guess maybe that would work, alright. I'd want to check first with Hester Prynne.
Here in Southeast Asia, people have the same concerns. Especially around this time of year. For reasons unknown, Valentine's Day is widely celebrated in Asia. Parenthetically, it seems that the thing-to-do in Japan is to take your sweetie to KFC for a romantic dinner. And they say there's no romance in the East!
Anyway, in Thailand, Jiraphan Pimpan, head of the new Provincial (to put it mildly!) Cultural Council wants to monitor the "love nests", more familiarly known in the West as "No-tell Motels", that apparently surround Bangkok. In case the teens don't know where they are, the article thoughtfully provides a quick guide to the motels, and also other promising sex venues. However, Mrs. Jiraphan thinks that if the authorities will act as Peeping Toms in these places, the teens will give up on trying to be naughty.
As I said in the beginning, nothing that the "adults" have tried in thousands of years has prevented young folk from having sex. If we just keep trying, the odds must soon swing in our favor though!
Or not.
One possibility I don't believe has been tried yet: Neonatal homonectomy. Just remove all the sources of androgens, and see what happens. Hey, it could work.
