Sex in the City
Bitched on: Saturday, February 18, 2006
Time: 2/18/2006 04:03:00 PM
I was on the way back from camp on the train just the other day, minding my own business, when not one but two teenage couples began being intimate in front of me (not together lah, that would be a foursome... and also sick). Time: 2/18/2006 04:03:00 PM
I wasn't being a perv by staring at them from the other carriage or on the other side of the train but they were making out in front of me, like there, standing in front of me! Where else was I to look? Usually, PDA (public displays of affection) do not disgust or bother me as much but they were giggling so loud, I bet the driver of the train could hear them.
So I turned on the music I was listening to to the max.
Then there was the stroking and teasing and the tongue wrestling.
Good God! Get a room lah people...
Have sex in the train why don't you?
Go trade STDs too.
Argh...!!
Why can't these teenagers be more mindful of their behaviours in public?
And its not only teenagers but also middle-aged people who seem to not give a damn about frolicking in the open. There was a report in the New Paper (they report just about anything unimportant, duncha think?) about this middle-aged couple who publicly make out near the playground and at the staircase (if they were teenagers, we wouldn't be having this 'ground-breaking news' report).
I would have to admit that the reason as to why this is bothering me is because I am still a tad conservative (yes people, the He-bitch admits to being the C word). I mean being raised in a country where sex is not openly discussed (in classrooms or wherever) and in a family that hardly says 'I love you's, people making out infront of me still raises my (ehem) eyebrow and also arouses (dun think dirty) my curiosity.
Us Singaporeans love to think ourselves as liberal and open-minded society, but we need a reality check. Just take a look at 2005 Durex Global Survey.
We are not as liberal as France (those French have sex like 137 times per year, thats like once in 3 days...) or even India (they do it like 75 times compared to us 73!!!). We are second lowest (Japan is the least horny... and least happy of all the countries surveyed) in the survey.
The age when average Singaporeans 'pop the cherry' is 18.4 compared to the global's 17.3 (we are even below China for God's sake! They score 18.3! And the Icelandics, they score a very horny 15.6 years old)
And the number of sexual partners we have? 7.2, compared to the promiscuous Turkish 14.5 (isn't Turkey an Islamic country?)....
Before you begin to conclude that we should change our country's name to the People's Republic of Virgins, here I have more worrying findings...
8% of us compared to 4% globally admit to having an unplanned pregnancy under the age of 16.
9% of us compared to 5% globally admit to having an unplanned pregnancy between the ages of 17 and 18.
15% of us compared to 10% globally admit to having an unplanned pregnancy aged 19 and above.
Before you dim-wits start giving yourselves a pat in the back and exchanging hi-fives, this is something we are not proud of.
The survey just shows that we have a lot of old virgins and horny teenagers in our country!
Its either that or these surveys are a just a bunch of crap. I mean, a majority of those doing the survey must be those virgin cyber geeks who stumbled onto the survey while looking for porn on the internet... Haha... (I did mean to search for the surveys' results, mind you.)
I am not saying that we should start reproducing like bunnies or go to Geylang to lose more than our sanity and dignity (if ya know what I mean).
Neither am I saying that we should be conservative, chanting virgins forever nor should we have sex with our clothes on.
We should strike a balance. Teenagers=abstinence, and adults=sex.
(Which reminds me, don't you find our country strange because the legal age to have sex is 16 and that to watch an adult movie is 21? I mean, why watch when you can already do it?)
Stay balanced Singapore and let's keep the sex within the walls of our bedroom (or at least in private... in public places...ehem..).
Just when we thought we were seen as a country more 'virgin' than the Virgin Islands, a heroin saves the day. Her name? Tammy. Read about her most sort after story (in Technorati) in Sex in the City Part 2, starring Tammy NYP.
