THE DAILY TRAVESTY
Volume 1, Issue 26
I still miss my ex-girlfriend, but
my aim is getting better.
We will be doing some Valentine's Day type-stuff
over the next week, to capitalize on the theme. Why not? Don't
gripe if you are depressed about it. (on second thought, go ahead.)
We are not going to get mushy and gooey on your ass. We're just going to
make the effort to publish some relationship-oriented material which will
hopefully be relevant to everybody. Contribute if you like. We would
especially be interested in thoughts from any of our gay/queer readers, to help
balance things out.
RANDOM THOUGHTS by Betka
differences between love and
in-love:
a stick-figure drawing of
in-love shows two people facing
each other, gazing into
each other (the rest of the
world and all of time is
out of range of view)
a stick-figure drawing of love
shows two people holding
hands, both looking toward
the horizon (the rest of the
world is encompassed in
their view as they face the future)
in-love, when
lucky, turns into love, otherwise it passes
love, when
lucky, grows to include in-love, but doesn't
pass when in-love doesn't
happen
WHAT TO TELL YOUR TEEN-AGE DAUGHTER ABOUT SEX
Cosmopolitan, June 1951
Your daughter is
fourteen.... She is aware of feelings she never had before and cannot
understand.
Social standards have changed -- often for the worse.
There are still an amazing number of youngsters who have gleaned their
information and misinformation from each other, and to whom sex is still a
subject for embarrassed whispering.
Question: "All the boys say there is nothing to do after a party
but pet."
Answer: "Trivial sex experience may dull your capacity for
truly great love.... The more you pet, the more your body clamors for closer
union."
Question: "Boys say they don't want their wives
to be virgins anymore. That's all out of date now, Mother."
Answer: "The sex act is often painful at first and not
pleasureable at all.... Therefore if you have sexual intercourse at an
early age you may be disgusted and frightened by it--and never
marry."
Keep in mind that this issue of Cosmo was before
feminist Helen Gurly Brown took over the publication, and they probably wouldn't
get caught dead printing this today. Thanks to www.allaboutsex.org, an
unbelievably well-done site (not porn) I accessed through Eric's Planet
Waves. A resource for teens and adults I encourage you to take advantage
of. (hey, if it's been banned by the Christian Coalition...)
