Something tells me the, "I had the ultimate fantasy in my grasp but got robbed by stupid adults" story is going to work out better for this kid's confidence than what would have actually happened if it had gone ahead anyway...


As an aside, does the fact that the principal cited "prom guidelines" make anybody else wonder...? Does this mean that there's no problem with normal school policy but those damned prom organizers are uptight? Is it significant that nobody who "stepped in" actually stated their objection officially, just left it up to the principal and "prom policy"? Do you get the snaky feeling that, ironically, the particular people who opposed this are Stern's perfect opposites, not more grown-up?

Sigh.


Memphis, hunny.....


SPEAK ENGLISH dadgummitt!!!! I get headaches trying to decipher your posts!!



On a side note...

Would YOU let YOUR 18 year-old son take a porn queen to the prom? (No jokes about you taking her yourself, either.) Sometimes I wonder if our nation really is going to hell in a handbasket when high-school seniors can "win" a date with a whore. Howard Stern - puhleeze.

I'm stepping down from my soapbox now. :furious3:

Welcome back to internet land Lady Orange! - it was getting pretty boring for us "daring to say things you'd bite our butts for" when we knew you didn't have access.

As for your question about whether I'd let my own boy take a porn queen to his prom- Hell Yes!!!!!

No way any sex is going on between a prom-boy and a porn queen. Even if my theoretical boy is a super-stud, said porn queen is liable for statutory rape AND will have all kinds of press following both the event and the drive home.


In fact, now that you've begged the question, I think all parents of 17 year old girls ought to hope their daughters get prom dates with male porno stars.

On one hand, the girls will get the social value of showing up on the beefy arm of "Dr. Longfellow". On the other, since girls are typically more sexually advanced than boys, as a parent you've probably got better odds of your girl child coming homing after the prom sex-free if they went with a responsible porn-star than if they went with the average teenage boy.

Puhleeze. :D

Come back when YOU have a teenage daughter and argue this case again.

Well, I've got 6 nieces, and one of them started her modelling career at 13- for non-teen magazines.

Plus, I've worked for 15 years in the child sexual victim & child sexual abuser treatment field. While I'm not a clinician, I'm published.

Believe me, I've not only angsted over "my girls", but have way, way, way more knowledge than anybody here about how they could be exploited. I was being a smartass when I said I'd rather have them taken to the prom by porn kings, but the real smartass part was that the facts support my position. It just sounds absurd. In reality, in exchange for associating your girl in name-only with a porn-date, you would get the benefit of being absolutely sure that (unlike millions of other girls) she hadn't screwed anybody that night when she got home. Prom night is one of the premier nights for having sex for stupid reasons, and, if your girl won a date from a porn king, you'd have the comfort of knowing that between his own sense of survival and the amount of press that would be following them around, your girl would be lucky to get a peck on the cheek when he drove her home.

If the object is to prevent our sons, daughters, nieces and nephews from having remotely the kind of sex life that we ourselves had as teenagers, then you couldn't ask for anything better than them winning a contest for a prom date with a porno star. No date could be more gauranteed to have no chance of actual sex. Hell, just to stay out of jail (given all the cameras rolling) the porno star won't even dare to kiss your girl on the lips when he drops her off at the end of the night. With a regular, boy-her-age date, chances are shes going to get at least a little attempted tongue at the door.

It would do WONDERS for reputation after prom. Especially for teen females, who actually have more peer-pressure than teen males to lose thier virginity. Especially to somebody older.
