Thanks to jer_, today's Talk Hard! is on a topic I would not have thought of on my own: Cologne and Perfume Should Not Be Applied To Your Holiest of Holies.

This was also post number 42.

So this inspires me to ask a question: What advice have you ever been given about sex and sexuality, about clothing or making friends or having sex or being sexy, turned out to be totally wrong? What rumors have you heard among young people that you can't believe they pass on? What were the similar rumors when you were a teen?

I thought about this a long time. I have a very long and detailed list. But really, given that I never had sex conversations with peers, parents, or any form of one-on-one communication-- and obtained it entirely from sermons and Christian bookstores-- the list would be no more helpful than shooting fish in a barrel.

On the contrary, since I have spent very little time listening to sermons or visiting Christian bookstores, that list sounds like a very good list for me to have. Fill some of the gaps in my "people say this" ignorance. To hear what people of (religious) authority have said is particularly useful, for we can only counter such speech acts by speaking to them. Please, share your list.
