"Kissing and hugging are the last stop before reaching Groin Central Station, so it's important to ban all the things that lead to the things that lead to sex," he said on the "Colbert Report" television show.
Fowler also pointed to a Planned Parenthood-organized program at a school in Knoxville, where students were directed to a web site "that actually lists as possible methods of birth control things like oral sex and anal sex play that I think most Tennesseans would find inappropriate."
Tennessee teachers can no longer condone so-called "gateway sexual activity" such as touching genitals under a new law that critics say is too vague and could hamper discussion about safe sexual behavior.
David Fowler, president of the Family Action Council of Tennessee, which pushed the bill, told Reuters the law does not ban kissing or holding hands from discussion in sex education classes. But he said it addresses the touching of certain "gateway body parts," including genitals, buttocks, breasts and the inner thigh.
even a little kiss can easily make a man's libido move up
Just his libido?

If I read this correctly, the law isn't about kissing or hugging, but touching breasts, buttocks, genitals. I'm wondering since he said the "kissing and hugging" thing during an interview on Comedy Central, was he kidding?
The title is deceptive, it was a comedian who said that "kissing and hugging are the last stop before Groin Central Station", not the governor.
The governor is actually just trying to keep sex-ed teachers from condoning things like oral and anal and "heavy petting".
He's being lampooned and tarred with things he didn't say simply because he's pro-abstinence and some people just hate that.
It does read as if the governor said that.... and how rarely does media purposely make headlines phrases out of context misleading. uh, never mind.The title is deceptive, it was a comedian who said that "kissing and hugging are the last stop before Groin Central Station", not the governor.

I want to face palm so badly. I know people in their 20s who think you can cure herpes, or who think you can't get pregnant the week after your period, or any other number of incorrect, unsafe things. This is largely because of piss poor sexual education and bad communication with parents. And now we want to limit the conversation even further because....why, exactly? Teens are going to have sex, whether we like it or not. We can encourage and promote abstinence all day, but we need to be simultaneously informing them on how to protect themselves if abstinence fails. We do them a massive disservice if we don't.
This is one of those "lesser of two evils" situation. Are you insulting your ideology more if you provide information, or if you don't? Is it better if you protect the child through education or risk the child being harmed through omission?
The Governor of Tennesee thinks it is. Remind me to never ride on a train with this guy.

Am I missing something here?
I really don't see the problem with a law against grabbing someone's junk in school. Am I missing something here?
