Thursday Thirteen v.3
Thirteen Little Quirks Don't Judge 1. Shaking Hands. I'm starting to get a little goofy about shaking hands. When a stranger shakes my hand, I am uneasy until I can find a chance to wash. 2. Door Handles. Likewise. I usually grip the handle someplace where I think others aren't. When I can, I push with my elbow or closed fist. I don't get sick much, either. 3. I trim my underarm hair. I think that's good for everyone involved. 4. Change . I almost never use change. If something is $1.01 and I have a nickel, they're not getting it. Take a penny, leave a penny? Go ahead, I have a change jar to maintain. 5. Penmanship and spelling. A high priority. If you saw my handwriting, you would know what I mean. Strangers compliment me on it. I look at it as both artwork and a courtesy to the people I'm communicating with that they can read and comprehend whan I'm doing.

Maybe that simplifies the problem, but it's a start at least.
it is not just men who commit crimes related to sex, look up “Shanda Sharer”. I think all aspects of sexuality should be covered in depth (taught at school as apposed to ones neighbor) at an earlier age, especially the confusing emotions that accompany them.
Of coarse the religious right think sex is dirty and only to be used for impregnating, with the lights off in the missionary position under a cross, and not spoken about. But their children will find out about it on the street from other kids who know very little about it as I did, and we wanted to know about it because our hormones were raging and we were interested, confused, and frustrated.
BTW, I did read the whole article, and many others written on the subject, including books. Like Bill Maher I had a hard time loosing my religion but it was inevitable since I have always been the type to ask “Why?”, and who the hell said it in the first place.
Later... Glad you did a post on this as well
