in the 90's (which you perfect illustrate my point) VS went in the direction of being soft porn to men. directing men to make the decision. VS HANDED women's sexuality to the men. i stopped buying VS. was a huge, fuck you to the company. when it was about me, and empowering my sexuality, i gave them my money. when they took my sexuality and empowered the men, they no longer get my money.

they dont get it or care. but they sold women out.

and statistically i dont think the kids are having sex younger. the last couple years it has shifted. bring the adult sex world to our kids at younger and younger ages is effecting their sexuality which pisses me off. again, let them alone to figure out their own sexual journey and leave the adult world out of it. more and more teenage kids are fuckin sick and tired of it all (already) and are not showing interest in sex. so it is causing the opposite. plus, there is the consideration that more and more of our young guys are so busy jacking off to airbrush that a regular girl doesnt hold the interest. will see how this huge boiling vat of experiment on our children, goes.
