Lipstick on your dipstick.

Frank has filled me in (heh heh) on a new YA book called The Rainbow Party.

It's about teens experimenting with this newfangled thing called "oral sex." Apparently, Ruditis' editor came up with the idea for the book. It's meant to teach teens that oral sex is, in fact, sex, redolent with all the same consequences as actual intercourse. It should also please the "cum-covered Lolita" crowd that seems to find me (and fellow bloggers) via Google.

(Welcome, cum-covered Lolita fans!)

That Michelle Malkin harpy has issued a fatwa on Ruditis, sending her flying monkeys to pan the book on every online book retailer's site. Way to go!

Anyhow, I know I would've wanted to read this book when I was a kid. (Though the excerpt posted on Amazon is pretty lame. Is this what passes for YA these days? Whither Anastasia Krupnik?) I feel as though it would have pretty neutral effect on kids. I remember reading Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex but Were Afraid to Ask when I was 12--didn't fuck me up none! Plus, that fall, I was able to edify all the girls at my lunch table about how gay men put it in other men's butts. Whoo-hoo!

Are there really a lot of young teens experimenting with oral sex? Or is it just a media meme, like shark attacks and kids dying in hot cars? And, more important, there's all this talk of juvenile blowjobs, but none of reciprocation on the boys' side.

QUID FUCKING PRO QUO, Clarice.

My opinion is that yes, eight grade girls are giving lots of blowjobs... Don't ask me for my sources, but I have a few bugs planted in the junior high crowd. And you're right, the reciprocity does seem to be lacking. Perhaps that is because the penis is easier to demystify than the cooch and its many endless folds?

For reasons that remain shrouded in mystery, Simon & Schuster sent me a galley copy of the book. I regret to report that the titular soiree never really gets past the lipstick counter; after 200-someodd pages of fretting about the ramifications of sucking off their high school chums at an after-school get-together, the protagonist bails. Not a single pimply-faced half-wit gets even so much as a perfunctory handjob, so Malkin's distress is, um, overblown.

sake, that's terribly disappointing. Also disappointing? Your disappearance into the ether for over a month now.

The one episode of Huff (aka "Paget Brewster Applies Lotion to her Elbows) that I remember featured Huff and Paget's 13yo son being busted after such a party. He had borrowed his mom's lipstick to take with him as the price of admission / participation, and therein lay the my initial suspicion:
The winner is the boy with the most colors of lipstick on his dipstick at the end of the night. Yet said boys each bring one lipstick, and all night they use this lipstick to gain admittance to each of the various rooms and various girls, each of which applies the lipstick before the administration of each blowjob. At the end of the night each boy would have but one color lipstick coating his rod.
And thus I call shenanigans.
