Shag Bands...

Seriously… why do Europeans get all of the cool shit? Carnal Nation has the details on the latest sexual trend amongst British adolescents (via The Daily Mirror).

Kids say and do the darndest things, especially when it comes to sex. In my day, eating green M&Ms meant you were horny. On the playground, it was a largely innocent but still titillating game among the prepubescent set. But parents and government officials in Britain are ready to snap over the latest ’sex’ fad popular with schoolchildren—shag bands. We probably all remember jellies, those rubbery, brightly colored ‘friendship’ bracelets, but these days they come with color-coded benefits. Reportedly snapping someone’s band requires you to perform a sexual act that corresponds to the color of the band.

The bands are sold in packs of 6 or 10 at many stores selling candy and other things of interest to kids. Because of the ‘urban legend’ about their sexual signification and, in some cases, some explicit packaging, government minister Mary Creagh wants to ban the sale of the bands to anyone under 16. She has already contacted several retailers to request that they stop selling the bracelets.

According to Urban Dictionary each color corresponds to a different sexual activity.

Black = intercourse

Blue = oral sex

Pink = flashing

Yellow = big hug

Purple = kiss

Clear = whatever snapper chooses

Green = fingering

Fluorescent = using sex toys

Glitter = the girl chooses

Indigo = masturbation and oral sex

Orange = petting
