My TBM sister-in-law proudly stated during a recent conversation that she has promised all of her kids $1000.00 each if they can make it through high school without kissing anyone. Several have already made it through and collected. I didn't know quite what to say. Have any of you heard of something like this? What do you think of it?

I think those kids are lying.

Safest thing is to stick to anal so you don't get caught up in a moment of passion and kiss your partner.

HA!!! I just creamed my jeans over thus one! Boner.

Yep! *loudly snaps suspenders* that's what I did! (Actually, I was enough of a recluse in my teenage years that I would've gotten my $1K. Too bad my parents knew that kissing wasn't against the rules.

I don't recall the money amount now, but they promised to pay her a substantial sum if she did not touch alcohol until she was 21. She stuck to her promise, to the letter. But boy, did she party down on her 21st birthday!

She was so much fun to go out drinking with - after a single beer (washed down with pizza at the local pizza place) we would both get so silly and giggly! Everything was FUNNY and we had such a great time.

I'm only going anon on this because it sounds so pathetic.

My mother bribed us $500 (in the 1970's-80's) if we didn't drink/smoke until we were 21.

My sister and I collected. The other three didn't.

I really barely lied on this one at all. I remember being in college and faking drinking.

I also remember being at home one evening alone and just drinking until I was drunk because I wanted to see what it was like.

Otherwise, I was pretty goodie-goodie.

Why? Because I didn't want to put my mother into an early grave. And that would have been the result. She told me so often enough. Surprisingly, the other three didn't put her into an early grave.

Maybe I was just more important to her. I'm sure that was it.

Kissing the girls was one of the best parts of high school. A little of some other touches wasn't bad either.

Lock them in a box, feed them and don't open the box until they are at least 18.

It's a great way to train kids on how to leverage their parents.

She's not teaching her children "purity" or "morality" or anything really, of substance. She's teaching them to become better liars. She'll reap what she sows.

Actually it's worse.

She's teaching her kids that sexual activity and money are linked.

Not to mention sexual manipulation.

What a fabulous example of "morality."

You're right. Virginity is a commodity to be sold to the highest bidder.

We should encourage teens to negotiate. "Okay, but you have to ALSO buy me a car when I turn 16 -- a NEW car, not your old beater, AND four years of fully paid college tuition to the university of my choice. And then and only then, will I pretend that I have never kissed a boy."

Are they ugly? this could be a factor.

No, but your comment is ugly.

Comment from a friend who worked in STD control in the health department,"The ugliest woman in the world will find a man who will sleep with her." There is always a partner to be found so don't discount those who don't measure up to your sense of what looks good.

my work brings me into frequent contact with some of the most sorry looking, opportunity challenged, pathetic individuals on the face of the planet and yet even they find somebody to sleep with.

If you don't kiss in HS, it will be very difficult to date as an adult.

If his 5 kids (boys and girls) do the following:

1) Remain a virgin until marriage and must be worthy to marry in Temple
2) Not a drop of alcohol

All they have to do is not get caught = payout!

You can buy anything in this world for money...

My father still pays for two grown daughters to remain LDS. They both have children and Mormon husbands. They receive housing, an occasional loan and some paid odd jobs now and then. He decided he could only afford two out of seven. Bless his Melchizedek heart.
