Bracelets Used As Sex Signals

UPDATED: 12:05 p.m. EST November 13, 2003
To an earlier generation, spinning a soda bottle seemed sexually daring and illicit, but, as Wendy Rieger reports, some teenagers today have a new sex game involving those popular jelly bracelets.

To most teenage girls they are just colorful plastic bracelet that the pop stars stack on their arms.

But in some schoolyards around the country these innocent bangles are actually referred to as sex bracelets.

That's right - sex bracelets.

There's a new game in some parts called "snap".

To play it, a boy pulls a bracelet off a girl's wrist and, depending on the color of the bracelet, the girl owes him a sex favor.

For example:
Yellow means a hug
Purple means a kiss.

It just escalates from there. In some areas,
Red means a lap dance
Blue means oral sex
Black means intercourse

The snap game was recently mentioned in Time magazine, but parents may find some comfort in knowing that so far it is not sweeping the country.

Only one school district in the D.C. metropolitan area has even heard of it and has not heard of anyone playing it. One administrator called it an urban legend.

Students from Wilson High in D.C who consider themselves cool and connected say they've never heard of it.

A game involving sex among teenagers may seem shocking, but sex among teenagers is not new. A recent study by Teen People found 54 percent of girls age 13 to 19 admit they are having sex.

That is why the local students we talked to thought the game was irrelevant.

"If you wanted to get any of those things, would you have to play the game to get them, no," said one.

So, for now, it appears the plastic bracelet is just a plastic bracelet in our area.

The plastic bracelets have been banned in at least one school district in Marion County, Fla.

sounds like an urban myth to me.

Wouldn't be surprised if Snopes had an article about it soon

When I was at school, kids didn't NEED a game to be sluts.

Snakebyt · 11-13-2003, 05:03 PM

might be a good game to play at your next adult oriented party

bundy · 11-13-2003, 05:04 PM

i believe this game is played with Louis Vuitton handbags, School-girls and businessmen in Japan...
or maybe that was just another urban myth...

Ha, yea and it definetly sounds like an urban legend... just wait for MTV to clarify it.

I've read blogs citing this article, and "kids" come along and make badly-spelled comments on how NO THATS WRONG THIS IS THE REAL COLORS: BLUE = SEX RED = HEAD and so forth. I think this is real; I have no trouble believing it.

That said, gawd.

I can see it now...A girl's walkin down the sidewalk and someone runs up and snatches all the bracelets off her arm.. first thing she says is... Damn Now I owe him 3 hugs, 2 kisses and 14 blowjobs!

I could be real, but it's kind of dumb...

jvwgtr · 11-14-2003, 04:23 AM

From what I heard, no one actually performed the required acts, it was more along the lines of "Jinx, you owe me a coke"...

Just a lot of people making a big deal over nothing.

It's amazing how seriously the people in the USA take sex when it is just a natural act. As long as it is done responsibly (i.e use protection, etc.), there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Even when you're 13?

What I am saying is that this shouldn't be news. It had limited geographic impact and was blown way out of proportion.
