Bracelet which means your child is having SEX

How disappointing.

This reminds me of the flagging system used in the gay and straight leather scenes.

Charismatic was trying to explain that to me but I didn't understand it at all. It must be a bottom thing, I dunno.

I graduated high school in 1995 and this was a huge scare for parents way back then. I was a Scouts leader way back then and the kids told me about this. It was 99% talk and 1% action (you know, that one slutty girl behind the water tower). It's a revolving news story that the media outlets churn out every couple of years to put a huge panic on parents. Gotta protect those childrens!

Why don't people let their kids grow up anymore? People are expected to be innocent little children well into their 20s now.

When I was 17-18 I believed that 33 was next thing to dead as well. Fortunately, that's 40 and I've got a while.

The bit I love about that article is the fact your child isn't just having "sex"... they're having "SEX" in capitals (is that like sex+1?).

Seriously - none of the kids I chat to wearing these know this crap - or didn't till it was all over the Sun, and the fucking One Show the other night - but by heck do they know now!

They know how easy it is to get poon now

I wear one of those fraternity bands occasionally. It's a purple band with gold lettering.

Obviously I can purple you all day, but if you talk a sweet game, we can round up the lettering, and go for the gold.

And here in America, if we aren't engaging in underaged sex, maybe we're beating honor roll students to death.

What the fucky fuck is wrong with kids these days.
Silly kids and their lack of parenting.

Oh my, on you being a bottom unless you meant he is and you did not understand his pov because you are a top.



With the teens in this article it seems more like an artificial motivation to license promiscuous sexual encounters, kind of like playing spin the bottle or strip poker. I was comparing mainly the use of signals in coloring on a type of flag attached to a body part.

In the the leather community.
It is just a signal thing to avoid bullshit encounters and also motivate the efficiency of targeting your proper partner for play.
Example:
I go to a play party, sub boi has a hypothetical colored handkerchief stuck in the back pocket of his leather jeans. It happens to be the color of a thing I am not into so there is no point in me hitting him up for play and no need for unnecessary communication, wasting time and awkward interaction ending in unmatched play objectives.

On the other hand, I can see flags on people that indicate they are into the things I am into and go straight for them.

The gay male leather scene is highly elaborate with it and has more colors and accurate specifications than I have noticed in the pan-sexual bdsm scene. They can have a fetish for every color that you can put on an flag. Red compared to Fire engine red, Cherry Red, Crimson or Magenta, for instance.
It is not relied upon now as much as it was in the 70's 80's but also I am not currently up to date on things in that scene.

And Snog is also an oldschool producer of badass music.
