What could be more fun that browsing the stacks of books, magazines and other intellectually stimulating resources than choosing to satisfy your carnal curiosities in one of the library's study rooms?Apparently a couple teens decided to concede to the raging hormones and throw caution to the wind since they had their own private study room at the city library.
It never ceases to amaze me the foolishness of people, but hey I can't say the thought never crossed my mind during any one of my study sessions at the library in my youth.
What makes this blog-worthy isn't necessarily the two teenagers sexing it up in the study room, but rather the debate over a few books that currently have homes at the library and the group of Puritans looking to burn them. Evidently, the very proximity to books like, The Joy of Sex
, is enough to drive young teens to want to have sex. It has nothing at all to do with TV, society, peer pressure, plain old curiosity or even biology. Perhaps after thumbing through books such as that, they lost all semblance of self control and found the nearest venue to practice their new-found sexual knowledge? At least that's what the Puritans would like to have us believe.I doubt it. I've owned that book and from what I remember it actually promoted a little more intimacy than that which can be found in library study rooms.
Maybe those kids need a good, old-fashioned abstinence program to get their heads screwed on straight? Yeah, no pun intended.
