This is fantastic! I wish I was there to see this. As I watched this I found myself getting a little angry, not by you of course, but rather the irrational but sadly true reasoning of why this solution will not be used (when it simply should be). We live in a society that is still very afraid of sex, sure we sell sex in video clips, in magazines and pretty much any where you can stick a picture on, but when it comes to why we are so obsessed and led by these feelings we are all hidden behind the Politically Correct barrier in our metaphorical closet. So many of our problems with understanding sex, is truly rooted from our lack of knowledge in our formative years. If we can't get the advice necessary in the years that form us, why would we believe what we have is normal. This is something we need to change and I wish more people could see this. The world is rapidly speeding up in both directions in regards to this issue, we have a society getting more and more like a nanny state where we are too afraid of teaching our kids anything about the world in fears of 'corrupting' them, yet they create their own beliefs by what they see, play and do. Older generations should start seeing that we are doing a disservice. With all this technology, they will learn somehow and hopefully they will be led to videos like this one, but if not where could they learn from? It brings up this ridiculous notion that it's all right to SELL sex, but not to OWN sex. We need to have this dialogue and speak openly and freely about this, I don't think anything that you said in the video is unreasonable to discuss with teenagers, and it definitely should be! Hope you get another chance to speak soon, and I plan to be there.
