Hey Sarah Palin, don’t blame Levi Johnston for that baby in your daughter’s belly. Blame Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen!

Teenaged girls who watch so-called television programs with high sexuality content, like Sex & The City, That ’70s Show and Gossip Girl, are more likely to become pregnant within the next 3 years, reports the New York Daily News.

That’s rich.

I’m not denying the media’s impact on impressionable minds. But it’s an argument full of holes (no pun intended).

First of all, the messages on these so-called “racy” shows are being characterized as black-and-white: pro- or anti- wild irresponsible sex. On That ’70s Show, the lead characters Donna and Eric dating for a long time before sleeping together. Same thing for Dan Humphrey, who is a virgin when he sleeps with Serena on Gossip Girl, and Blair, who was saving herself for her boyfriend Nate Archibald. (Nevermind that she got distracted by Nate’s best friend…but it is a primetime soap, people!) These characters are all juniors or seniors in high school, which means they are 17 years old or so, the average age an American woman loses her virginity.

You don’t want to celebrate Earth Day and yourself with a sex toy that is bad for the earth or bad for your body. Nicole blogged about great green sex accessories that let you spice up your sex life organically. But what if you don’t have that special someone to go green with? Luckily there are 10 great ways you can go green solo.

A wise woman named Cher Horowitz (from Clueless) once explained that she was still a virgin because “You see how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on my feet.” So be picky about your sex toys. Many sex toys contain phthalates, a plastic softener, which is so hazardous the European Union banned its use in children’s toys. Ironically, since phlatates have been linked to cancer and damaging sperm, we are putting things in our nether regions, that may be bad for our nether regions. Luckily, many sex toys stores, like Good Vibrations, are phasing phthalates-containing products. But until the war against phthalates is won, and until phthalates are stamped out around the world, you can use this top ten list of phthalate-free toys.

Tori Shoemaker and Cheyenne Bird, two St. Louis-area 9th graders were  suspended from their Illinois junior high school for wearing condom-bedecked t-shirts proclaiming “Safe Sex Or No Sex” as a way of protesting their school’s abstinence-only education policy. Jezebel.com reports

Shoemaker, 15, told a local TV station, “We were supporting safe sex, it’s something we believe in and we shouldn’t get suspended. It’s freedom of speech.” The school superintendent, however, found the shirts “inappropriate” and “a distraction at school”. Shoemaker and Bird’s school, Lewis & Clark in Wood River, Illinois, teaches abstinence only to sixth and eighth graders, and Shoemaker thinks that safe-sex education is imperative for teens entering high school. “We’re more mature, we’re going up to the high school, and teenagers are going to do what they do,” Shoemaker explained to a reporter from KMOV TV.

Oh Rock of Love, thanks for coming back into my life. You add variety to my Sunday afternoon trash TV marathons, where you fit so nicely between DVR’d episodes of The Bad Girls Club and America’s Next Top Model.Last season I briefly, BRIEFLY considered auditioning to be one of the 20 chicks vying for Bret’s long-haired love. Immediately after that brief consideration I remembered the fact that I was engaged at the time and that I have some self-respect.I’m not saying gyrating against a stripper pole on national television while viewers judge you solely based on the size of your chest is disrespectful to one’s self. I mean hey if you got that skill and that chest, go for it. That’s not the shameful part. The shameful part is when some of the women develop an issue with Bret’s promiscuity.
