<p>*What’s left to look forward to at a high school dance? *</p>
<p>YOu haven’t chaperoned a high school dance have you?

<p>Yikes. A friend’s hubby chaperoned a suburban Sweet 16 party and was horrified by the “dancing” he saw… makes me feel like an old fuddy duddy to say that.</p>
<p>
I’d guess that many of us on this forum are close to 50, and I hope that for most it is still special :)…</p>
<p>From emerald’s article:</p>
<p>“Miles says he plans on attending the Ballard prom and won’t hold back. He simply hopes that if he decides to get freaky, an adult won’t be watching. “It’s not like I’m going to [tell my date], ‘Please refrain from bending down and straighten your back,’” he laughs.”</p>
<p>That really made me laugh. It’s a pretty salient point though. Chances are the guys have little say if the “45 degree” rules gets broken, and if it does have to get broken, who really expects the guy to ask his partner to straighten up?</p>
<p>Blame MTV and hip hop music. Whatever happened to good wholesome music?</p>
<p>^^^i think you’re pointing the finger at the wrong suspects… in all seriousness, i blame the parents. (oh, and there is plenty of “good, wholesome” music around-you just have to know where to look).</p>
<p><a href=“oh,%20and%20there%20is%20plenty%20of%20%22good,%20wholesome%22%20music%20around-you%20just%20have%20to%20know%20where%20to%20look”>i</a>.*</p>

<p>Of course some people only know it from 10-
any other suggestions that are perhaps easier to dance to?</p>
<p>About the sort of dancing that goes on at school events nowadays, may I ask an ignorant question?</p>
<p>Doesn’t it tend to ruin the girl’s dress? I mean, all that rubbing and stuff has got to be hard on sequins and decorations and delicate fabrics? Do you all get only one use out of a party dress?</p>
<p>I said everything I EVER plan to say on this topic on the “Virgin” thread that can’t be much more than halfway down page 2 by now.</p>
<p>I was just about to run up and look at the formal gowns hanging in the closet when I remembered they were all plain satin - no sequins, no decorations.</p>
<p>And each dress only got worn once. I have quite a collection for the next charity gown drive.</p>
<p>Something tells me the OP is alluding to sexual acts other than intercourse. I can imagine that some parents who are cool about intercourse are uncomforatble about other more “kinky” types of sex.</p>
<p>Mental and physical safety. I want my Ds to wait. It really isn’t about morals. It’s about self-preservation.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sarcasm doesn’t work on the Web…</p>
<p>find somebody who cares about you and you care about, pretty basic, pretty simple. No worries as sex and intimacy are beautiful things.</p>
<p>33 is about the right age. ;)</p>
<p>Children should not be having sex until their parents are too old to have any.</p>
<p>Total agreement here, EK4. </p>
<p>Umm, how old is that? Having now passed 50 myself, I guess I need to have those rugrats control themselves for a few more years.</p>
