The article then goes on to break down the “benefits” of anal sex for those who “have a prostate.” So this article isn’t just for teen girls, it’s for teen boys who want to have sex with other boys or men. Then, it covers the “appeal of anal when you do not have a prostate,” so it’s got our girls covered, too. Using light, off-the-cuff language like “Just because you have a vagina does not mean anal is off-limits. Many vagina owners love anal play,” Teen Vogue hammers home its message again and again. Read between the lines and you will get read that anal sex is “totally normal, everyone’s doing it, and it’s no big deal for teens of either gender.”
So after breaking down how anal sex is different for boys and girls, the article LITERALLY goes into a “how-to” guide. I honestly never thought I’d use the words “butt plug” in an article, but since Teen Vogue is advising your children on what kind of sex toys to buy to prepare themselves for anal sex, I GUESS I HAVE NO CHOICE. it was at this point in the article that I got physically sick and stopped reading. I had to wait a full 24 hours before I could continue on.
The article ends with a couple lighthearted warnings like, “I want to personally assure you that that you will not poop on anyone during anal sex. Sure, there are horror stories, but aren’t there always?” And if what I’ve already written isn’t enough for you to see that Teen Vogue needs to stay OUT OF YOUR KIDS line of sight (go ahead and block the online version also, which is where I read this article), hopefully that will.
Mamas, I have been physically ill many times over the horrors and pressures our kids face in this world. But when mainstream publications like this one target our teens by normalizing sex acts like this, I get mad, I get sad, and I want to move to a deserted island.
My HOPE is in CHRIST, and my eyes are looking toward heaven, but until I get there, it’s my duty to talk to my kids about sex so that they know what is right, and healthy and normal.
