DAY 62: SEX ED SATURDAY
Puritan Sex #1: Repressed but Dirty, Clothes On

We’ve all read The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel of Puritan sexual repression, adultery, and punishment. Sex before marriage was so common among the uptight Puritans, however, that one study of old family bibles found that more than half first babies were born seven months after their parents married. In their own way, our national ancestors encouraged premarital sex. Young unwed couples were allowed to sleep over, separated by a bundling board, a narrow board down the center of the bed. Imagine running that past today’s parents of teens.

Steep yourself in cultural repression—and do it like the Puritans tonight. Don’t take your clothes off.

Outercourse (or Dry Humping)

Make out like teenagers. Kiss and caress, touch and grab and squeeze. Breathless youthful groping is hot. But play by the rules your parents or grandparents were supposed to follow:

• He can reach inside her bra and caress her breast—but he can’t remove her top and bra.

• They can fondle one another’s genitals through clothes only.

• Lie, one on top of the other, and bump and grind. Hump your way to orgasms.
