Purity Balls

Purity balls, wherein young girls pledge their sexual purity to their father until marriage. Today is a disturbing day. (thx, flea)

Shudder.

If there will be any downfall for the fundies, it'll be that people like to fuck. If they practice what they preach, that is.

I remember a very disturbing Jessica Simpson Behind the Music type thing where her dad said it was a great gift to him that she had remained a virgin until she was married. Now if people don't want to have sex before marriage that's fine, but when a girl waits until she marries for sex as some sort of gift to her father, I get a little disturbed. However please note that I will be circumcising my daughters.

seriously, the photos are just prom photos, corsages, hand-holding, bad hair, fancy dresses, and all. only, their dates are their dads. is this ok in some way i totally fail to grasp?

um, also? they have testimonies from "secondary virgins." this one guy's been one for 7 years. wonder if the sex was really that bad.

“secondary virgins.”
-there is no god, therefore this is logically impossible. Sorry, bro. Also, the foxtrot is only innocent relative to hardcore grinding (well I guess there are a few intermediary steps, but you get the idea). Does this mean that fifty years from now, when clubs will writhe with lost souls publicly revelling in the unimaginable, fathers and daughters at Purity Balls will be pressed ass-to-crotch, rolling their hips to Get Low, daughters rising on tip-toes to whisper into their fathers' ears seductive promises about keeping their virginity until marriage? Now the hokey-pokey: there's an innocent little number.

I'm really uncomfortable with some of the jokes this generations of light site is prompting in my fragile little mind, to be honest.

alright last thing:
"We should not be worshipping condoms."
From the South Dakota woman who's all about Purity Balls. One question: who the fuck is worshipping condoms? I'm pretty sure no one ever regarded them as anything other than a burden, which is why it's so goddamn hard to get people to wear them. And since, as you astutely note, Loralei, people like to fuck, and no one in their right mind would ever like a purity ball, real sex education is the only way to improve the situation. Can we please make two separate countries now?

Oh! Purity Ball... like a dance. Not like a baseball. I was totally confused.

I got it know.

Hey, Flea, when was your Purity Ball? And did you wear that striped pajama suit?

Pursuant to Jesse's comment, maybe they only have prepubescent girls at this thing because girls who have gone through puberty can make an informed decision about sex and virginity.

I smell this as a segment of a Michael Moore documentary on right wing religion in America.

and how many of those dads will enjoy doing "routine checks" to make sure their daughters keep their promises?

my bet? quite a few.
