to clarify.. I wouldn't really have a problem with it. However, there is something to be said about the education of society and it's subtle and glaring idea's and conformations. I would venture to say that it takes most tv/tg's years to accept and get over these issues. Most teens have social issues and anxieties as it is.. so just letting him wear it without some sort of helpful advice may not be the smart thing to do.
Sapiens: as far as "how was this demonstrated", I guess I should really expand on where I got that stat from. It came from a sex book from Tracey Cox. I can't remember which one but I'll let you know when I get back. I believe she cites a source for that stat (although stats don't really hold much water). I think I may have the book at home so I'll look it up and see what exactly it entails. Maybe I misread it? I'm not a shrink so I can't begin to jump into the discussion that you and will continue to hold.
