    What i have found consistently so far is that in church related environments, adolescent sexuality is accepted (as long as you don’t talk about it or are queer) more than the otherwise prudish tendencies would make one expect. i wonder about why that is.

      Well that’s an eye-opening thought! Yeah, we teens didn’t give two shits about religion, youth group was for meeting girls and boys. And it worked! And now you got me thinking, the adults had to know.

      Maybe the idea was that we could get our hormones on without actual sex. Not like I was railing Jenny in the Methodist rumpus room. That came later.
