| Quote: |
Imagine that you hear that your 18-year-old daughter was kissing another girl at a party last weekend. What races through your mind? "O my gosh, she's exploring same-sex attractions. She must be a lesbian."
Hold up, Mom and Dad. You're showing your age. Chances are, your daughter's not fixed on the pretty young blonde she's locking lips with. There may be something entirely different and unexpected going on.
"Girls making out with each other to turn on guys is the latest craze at high school and college parties," according to the online magazine Salon.com.
Still don't believe it? Listen to this summer's monster hit song, "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry. It's an international phenomenon -- topping the charts all summer in America, Canada, Australia and Great Britain. A few weeks ago, Perry was a headliner at the Warped music festival at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, belting out the song's provocative lyrics:
I kissed a girl and I liked it,
The taste of her cherry chapstick,
I kissed a girl just to try it,
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
It felt so wrong, it felt so right.
Perry cagily maintains that her song is about drunken curiosity regarding same-sex attractions. But her music video, which features gyrating women in lingerie, is clearly designed to give the male libido a jolt.
We baby boomers like to think we invented and defined the sexual revolution. But our offspring are tossing out the categories we took for granted, including the view that "gay or straight" is preprogrammed.
Young women whom Salon.com interviewed about the girl-on-girl trend said they had initially kissed other females to get a free beer at parties or on a dare from guys. But they soon saw it as a way to signal to males that they are "sexually open and adventurous."
"It was like, look, I'm the center of attention!" recalled one 16-year-old.

I like to call them "pseudo-lesbians". It has been going on for about a decade now. Girls pretending to french kiss each other in order to turn on guys at the clubs. Even in pictures. Making the infamous V-sign with their fingers and sticking their tounge out.
This is something that will probably never be trendy for us guys to do.
Prentending to be giving bj's just to turn girls on.  |

I've heard that sort called 'lipstick lesbians' more than once, and this is hardly a new trend, it's been going on at least 10 years |

I think "lipstick lesbians" are real lesbians, they just prefer other women who actually look like women. As opposed to butch lesbians.
Just trying to keep the terminology straight. |

| I was just going by what my dyke friends ( their prefered term, not mine) called it, actually. Perhaps it varies from one region to the next |

That's exactly what I call them. Really annoying. Like others said, this has been going on for many years IN PUBLIC. But many older women had their first kissing experience with another woman, when they were girls of course. Though none would brag about it. Why should they? I find it really sad in the end that young girls today think sex is the way to get approval from guys. |

| Hmmm..seems like this news story is about ten years behind the times. But now there's a trendy new buzz word to attach to it, it's news. |

| Girls kissing girls is not new. It was hot when I was 16, and it will be hot when I am 61. |
