Problems I’ve Never Had

Everybody and his or her respective mother is blogging about this New York Times Magazine article about how teenage boys are supposedly enjoying oral sex whenever they want it from their “friends with benefits". See Belle Waring, Matthew Yglesias, and Amy Phillips for the best responses.

For my part, I was at a comic book store in my hometown last weekend watching some kids play Magic the Gathering, and I think it’s safe to say that kids like me are still getting exactly as much action today as kids like me got in my day. None.

If more kids had the low self-esteem, social ineptitude, and poor personal hygiene I had as a teenager, pregnancy and STD’s would be a lot less of an issue. Fund that, President Bush.
