I am appalled at this article by Debbie Schlussel and some of the comments here. Calling Oparh a ho, makes them sound unintelligent. We have tried suppression, IT DOES NOT WORK. I grew up as child in a Christian family that suppressed many sexual things. I had low self esteem for years around girls and even later in life. I was ashamed at myself when I would masturbated many times. I tried so hard to stop masturbating, but the hormonal urge was to strong almost all the time. I could not talk to my family because I didn’t feel comfortable at all talking to them about it. I wish my parents told me everything from the start. Then told me the truth, that masturbation is a natural effect of hormones at that time in life for many kids.

Dr. Laura Berman is world renown as a sex therapist. She has a Ph.d which is really respectable.

There was a recent study that linked teen masturbation with safe sex.

On top of this terrible article, they give no solution. Many Christians have been terribly brain washed. And are drunken with the cup of irrational thoughts and beliefs.

As a solution, why don’t most of you Oprah haters read some of Laura’s books, and see if you can understand the science and theories as to why Laura is right.

I have been on both sides of this I have some real issues with suppression.

Peace!

bhparkman what planet are you living on? Who taught you about sex? Your Sunday school pastor? Or let me guess your Christian parents that think the earth is 6,000 years old and God created the earth in 7 days.

You think teen masturbating is considered “delliquency” and “child endangerment”.

What is so dangerous about teen masturbation when taught by a mature adult? Uummm let’s see, teens learn through experiential experience how there bodies work, priceless. Teens release a lot of tension and stress through masturbation. Teens learn to love and appreciate there bodies.

If kids are going to masturbate, they are going to masturbate. What ever you all have been trying is not working. We did it while president bush was in office and IT DIDN’T WORK.

They don’t call them sex hormones for nothing.

Peace!

Oprah’s morality about sex education is not her own morality but it is the morality of logic about sex education.

Speaking of morality as many of you are probably Christians.

I use to be Christian until I saw that the bible is fallible. The evidence speaks for itself. You can see even contradictions in what Jesus says. The morality of Christians of is the morality of a fallible book.

Peace!

They probably will not issue vibrators at the school, but they probably give them the best sex education since that is there role.

dude. you are clueless. did you ever think when you were a kid what it was like to get in your pants or has your panties just been in dusty and old forever? anyways, you do not even know who oprah is and you are just judging her. girls and guys who do not get sex education will be clueless and go off and get hiv or with a baby at 16. things just need to come naturally and what she was saying was a bit direct, but understandable.

You all seriously would rather have your children go off and lose their virginity? Although i don’t agree with “teaching” kids how to do it, why would you look at it as a disgrace? I am positive that most, if not all of you have used a vibrator in your lifetime. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it and it is natural.

The idea, Papa Bear, is that PhDs in psychology should not be discussing anatomy and physiology. That’s part one. The second part is that this advice is completely imbecilic. That’s part two. The third part is that Debbie, whose late father was an opthalmologist (among the most selective of medical specialties), is well aware of the time and gruelling physical demands required to train an MD and the comparative easy life of most PhDs in comparison, both in total time and in physical comfort during training and practice.

The fourth part is that medical training is a lot more intellectually challenging than any PhD program outside of Math, Physics, or Chemistry.

In short, Papa Bear, you couldn’t do what I did and do.

Sincerely,

I believe that you are very close minded-I watched that episode, and I believe that mothers should have a better judgement. I believe that mothers should do this-compare a plastic case with a motor and battery contraption to teen pregnancy, STIs, and school dropout-to a teenager owning a simple vibrator (and condoms), if a mother were sure that the teenager has reached that stage. 15 was an arbitrary age; I agree that may be too young, but late 16 and 17 are real-life ages when real teen moms get pregnant. Do not try to turn a blind eye-this solution may actually be beneficial to stop this very real problem. Please be a little more considerate and open minded; give a little more thought before calling Oprah a ho. That is very childish, and this is coming from a 17 year old, non-masturbating/virgin, offended teen.

I think kids should be informed about sex but not everything should come from that awquard talk that they would get if there parents did it. Maybe if you catch them mastrubating one time and there old enough then you should leave an info book about the risks of sex a small vibrator not expensive because they may hate it and a letter tellling them that your there for them if they ever have queations then list a couple of websites to check out if theyre not comfortable with that then leave it on there bed when there not home and if you never catch them mastrubating then just leave it when ever you think there old enough ( somewhere from when they have theyre first period to 14) btw im 12 and wish i would of had a mother supportive enough to do this.
