Comments on Early Morning Appetite Suppressant

Umm, don't statistics say that most kids who lose their virginity do it before 17, anyway? Isn't that age a bit late?

It's so bizarre that the people behind this Purity Ball see fatherhood as a substitute or rival for a romantic/sexual type relationship in the daughter's life. Just past the halfway point of the video, the narrator says "she's either going to get this affection from her father or seek it elsewhere." It needs to be clear that these are two very different types of affection, and any fathers who are trying to blur the line are being very creepy and potentially damaging to their daughters.

The anecdote about the teenage daughter sitting on her father's lap and saying "Is there something wrong with me that I don't want a boyfriend?" and her father saying "Well where are you right now?" as explanation (i.e. in her dad's lap) is sick.

Ugh. Puke. Yuck. Fathers and daughters are (in my experience, and in a good way) naturally close. Why do they need to make it creepy like that?

This is designed for those weirdo dads who don't want any competition for their "little princess". So they rent a ballroom in a cheap airport hotel and celebrate their dysfunction.

But that daddy on stage is pretty hot.

I came to post the exact same thing as Gabriel. What. The. Fuck. The parallel they're making between receiving affection from their father, and receiving some hot sweaty freaky sex is unnerving. Talk about having daddy issues when they grow up.

Well, it'll be good for them to work through their Eleckra complexes in years and years of therapy.

Something about all of this just screams, "Never leave the nest ever!!!!" to me.

Between meth filled hooker binges and weird jesus inspired incest, these Christians sure are dirty. I can see why us atheists need to protect our children from succumbing to the Christian lifestyle. They are a threat to the moral purity and proud heritage of this once great nation.

It probably stems from the idea that women are the responsibility of men. The father has complete dominion over the daughter until she is given away in marriage, and then the husband has complete dominion over her. Plus, if you're a meth using closet case, it's probably easy to compare the love you feel for your daughter to the love you feel for your wife, since you don't want to have sex with either of them.

Physical lust isn't supposed to enter into it at all. It's just a method of asserting masculine control over the family.

This looks surprisingly similar to "Motherboy XXX".

I will say that their are daddy/daughter dances with many organizations. They are generally fun and harmless. The weird dominant/submissive pledges are what gets me.

Having the daughter publicly read her viginity pledge while standing on stage with her father squicks me out completely. Talk about creepy! Especially while she's talking about 'giving herself to her husband as a wedding gift'. Nice that girls are supposed to look at themselves (and their sexuality) as a commodity. Bleah. Appetite suppressant is right!!

What about... the boys? The sons? I don't know how you can possibly have chaste daughters if your sons are running around with hard-ons, and no one emotionally blackmailing them into making purity pledges themselves. Or are there mother/son dances where the boys sit on their mothers laps and and their moms soul kiss their boys—in a Godly sense.

Or are girls the only ones getting their legs crazy clued together? The boys get a pass on all this guilt and these freaked out psychosexual headtrips?

Dan - "crazy clued"? I LIKE it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't recent studies show that people who take abstinence pledges tend to "fall off the wagon" at an equal or higher rate than those who don't? I thought I read something about that recently. If so, aren't these fathers then, statistically, encouraging their daughters into sexual activity at a higher rate while providing themselves with a certain delusion that they are prolonging their childhood?

Dan, I think the boys do tend to get a pass in some way. There's a double-standard where teenage boys are expected to chase after girls a bit and have their fun and that many parents would worry if this didn't happen, whereas the girls are expected to be pure and chaste and perfect until marriage.

Gabriel, aren't the girls supposed to ultimately tame the man's puerile desires with their chaste nature? The boys are expected to act that way and the girls, through the submissiveness and chastity, are supposed to lead them back onto the path to God when they'll become real men and be the head of the family. Or some such nonsense.

that woman has a face and voice only a father could love. IT ALL MAKES SENCE.

"Ooh, look at all these wedding presents! We got a toaster, a blender, a CuisineArt, some salad tongs - and a vagina!"

And yes, boys are given a free pass, oat sowing-wise, but they're NOT expected to do it with the girls in the congregation; that's what those slutty, going-to-Hell Catholic & Jewish girls across the tracks are for.

How can I book that "ballet" for an event?

My parents are Christians, and my brother is engaged to a very young woman who is a total drama queen and has trust issues. My mother is convinced that it's because she didn't have that father figure in her life in her early developmental years because her dad was on drugs. So now she looks for attention by pitching fits and threatening to cheat on my brother. Because I am sad about my brother's predicament, my mother takes my future sister-in-law's low self-esteem problems as an opportunity to tell me that this is why families should have a mom and a dad. Sigh.

The sad part is that I have self-esteem issues of my own, and I had a dad in my life the whole time. Thing is, mine probably have to do with my never being good enough and being too sinful. Go fig.

Abstinence-pledging teens tend not only to fall off the wagon at similar rates as their non-pledging counter-parts, they also tend to engage in anal and oral sex at significantly higher rates before they "fall from grace". Not having much in the way of sex education, they tend to have unprotected sex and have more incidents of STD's and unplanned pregnancies.

Ick. Ick. Ick. I'm just too creeped out by the idea of a father even THINKING that much about his daughter's vagina to even talk about it. Ick. Ick. Ick. I don't think any of us who were victims of any kind of molestation can think about this without having our skin try to crawl right off our bodies. Ick. Ick. ICK!
