friends w/ benefits

can't say i'm surprised by this, but terry mattingly @ getreligion calls our attention to a piece by benoit denizet-lewis in the 30 may 2004 issue of nyt magazine on the sexual proclivities of teenagers. b/tw this, "thirteen" (a really good movie, although it scared the bejeezus out of me) and that thing w/ the jelly bracelets (true or not), i'm thinking about chaining elmo in her closet until she's 21.
