    Like it or not, it's well documented that if something is discussed as an "ordinary lifestyle situation" it's more readily accepted as such.

    Examples of such would be?

    Nonsense, talking about the pros and cons of wearing your seatbelt doesn't encourage more reckless driving.

    It never ceases to amaze me, the pockets of fear and ignorance that exist back home. Sometimes I feel like a million miles away...

    Very good and balanced opinion piece on this topic in today's "Irish Times" by Jennifer O'Connell.

    http://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/threesomes-advice-is-no-worse-than-what-s-in-most-young-women-s-magazines-1.1339992

    SpunOut's spokesperson initially defended their advice as giving "information" and "facts" to teens. If you read the advice, however, much of it was mere opinion and fairly tendentious opinion at that. It was claimed that the advice didn't promote the activities described, but personally I'd have to disagree. I see now they have heavily edited the original text to get rid of some the aspects O'Connell comments on, e.g.:

    The article on the site offered such tips as “Some couples say even one threesome experience injects serious passion into their bedroom shenanigans” and “Don’t pick anyone you have feelings for” for a threesome.

    Despite a half-hearted effort to deal with the emotional aspects of threesomes, the tone of the piece was juvenile and silly – I’m certainly not sold on the advisability of urging teenagers to treat their peers as sex objects.

    As O'Connell writes, the SpunOut article ". . . is no worse than what’s in most young women’s magazines." But they're privately funded commercial enterprises. I'll be damned if I can see why public funds should be subsidizing this . . .
