The recent publication of a novel for teenagers titled
RAINBOW PARTY has revived debate about whether or not such 'rainbow parties' are real. As a
recent NY Times article explained,
"rainbow parties are group oral sex parties in which each girl wears a different shade of lipstick, and each guy tries to emerge sporting every one of the various colors." Such parties are supposedly all the rage with teenagers (kids these days!... what will they think of next?). In the book, a teenage girl has to decide whether or not to go to such a party, but the party ends up never taking place.
The concept of rainbow parties first gained widespread attention back in 2003 when a guest on the Oprah show claimed that all kinds of teenagers were going to these things. But the thing is, tales about rainbow parties always seem to be third-hand: coming from adults who are trying to raise alarms about teenage sexuality. The same NY Times article notes that
"Many say rainbow parties are just a new urban legend -- suburban, actually -- not much more trustworthy than the old stories about alligators in the sewer."
I'd have to agree that the rainbow party concept is probably more urban legend than reality. It reminds me of the
Jelly Bracelet tale (that teenagers supposedly wear color-coded jelly bracelets to indicate to other kids what kind of sexual acts they're willing to perform). But as always with such things, it may have started out fake, but give it enough time and someone, somewhere, is probably going to be inspired to make it real.

" ... wouldnt the first color pretty much be smeared off by the next girl?
If they're using regular lipstick, yes. On the other hand, if you draw a ring with a permanent marker, it's on there for at least a week or two. Try it.
And markers come in a wide selection of colors (you might even say a "rainbow" of colors.
Mind you, I still don't believe anybody's really doing this. At least, my invitation hasn't come in the mail yet.
I would confess that such a video would assist my belief, but it would also have to be backe dup by data that the people in question were who they said they were as well, that is not actors.
Just a quick question partyboy; why is it such an important part of your belief system that others must accept the existence of these parties? You remind me a lot of certain religious individuals who need to convince others of their faith to truly accept that faith themselves.
Could be a regional difference, to be charoiitable. My feeling is that much like other reports of sexual activity, its utter BS.
No offense meant 😊
Although I was aware of the party scene in the Netherlands. Not that it would ever work for me, given that the women there still have the same human conditioning.
PS - It's not only teens involved with these things. Remember that oral sex is sex and that it can spread disease, always use a condom or dental dam. For more information on STIs visit http://www.imjustmejustlikeyou.com or www.teenwire.com
Have a nice day everybody!
Just looks at the other kinds of sexual things people do in groups... Hell some of my best freinds are Furries... I've even been asked to go to a "Furr Pile" on a few occasions... (btw, a furrpile is basically an orgy, although furries swear its better XD)
Some people are just very open about sex, and it becomes a social activity to them and their friends...
Personally I think this behavior is wonderful... although... the only problem is STDs... which is kind of sad... cause without STDs there wouldn't be too much to fear. =/
I guess if your friends are close and honst, its a little better. XD
Travis, apart from the questionable activity of spamming, have you considered that it is unwise to promote an activity that will increase STDs? Several medical journals have published studies showing that the use of condoms increase the rate of gonnorhea alone by 25% ( Baltimore Medical Journal), and that condosm failure rate in protecting against chlamydia may be at least 50%. Here in NZ condoms are on the way out, being replaced by the Internet and sex toys.
Humans have been using condoms for centuries, and perfecting them for just as long. The latest generation of condoms, made from polyurethane, are hypoallergenic and have much smaller microscopic holes than latex. Lambskin condoms, which were the first used, have large microscopic holes that allow certain diseases (especially viruses) to pass through but are small enough to prevent pregnancy.
It is the people that continue to post erroneous information about condoms that continue to perpetuate the HIV epidemic and the transmission of diseases all across the world. Unless you're informed, educated and trained to talk to the public about these issues I advise not saying anything at all.
Besides which, all the items I quoted were from medical research papers; Some of which have yet to be discredited.
No, seriously, travis, I am fully aware of the war going on here in this field ( I do have some training in life science BTW )- I just wanted to see if you could back up your argument in the face of some compelling sounding counter-arguments which you almost did.
Rattling off the name of a medical journal does not make a good argument, it is usually just enough to make people think you're right without them wanting to verify your claims.

For starters, the previous author who malinged me is making use of a phrase I use to illustarte precisely the point you make. Namely, that I could crap on a cracker and say it was peanut butter, but my saying so would not make it true. I think you would agree . . . Unless you would say that if the person saying that the crap was peanut butter was some "expert", in which case that is what it would be.
If you care to wait some time, I could supply you with the references you request. But, then again, would you accept them? There is an entire country who refuses to believe all the medical studies supporting the addition of folate to the diet as being useful in preventing spina bifida, including all of its medical authorities. Having said that, you seem to accept a claim from someone who hides behind a pseudonym that I am a coprophage without any corroborating evidence, so perhaps you don't take your own advice. Knowledge is no guarantee of wisdom.
And booch, if that is your real name, if you intend to defame me, at least understand what I'm saying before you deride it.
The sad thing is, I actually agreed with you on the veracity of some of those studies and was merely asking you how you would respond - Something you clearly missed in your missionary zeal. However, since you have made it most clear that you intend to ignore any evidence that contradicts your world view based solely on an irrational predjudice equal to any shown by your imagined foes, I will not disturb you in your belief.
One wonders how someone with this approach finds working in the sexual health field which, as an outsider, I would imagine requires some level of openness and sensitivity. If it makes you feel any better, you win.

I AGREE WITH YOU!
I AGREE WITH YOU!
Now, I am no longer listening to you. Fini.
Those parties always ended with everobody dancing to a big screen videoshow of Michael Jacksons "Thriller"
Oh, back to the funny you should mention this part. I just finished blowing myself, while alternating lipsticks. Yes it sometimes does smear, not to mention what it does to your teeth... I get some funny looks at work. As I mentioned, I'm deathly afraid of STDs so I wear a condom, but just on the tip, otherwise the rainbow effect gets lost.
So there, they exist... or do they... actually, I'm not a teenager, and there are no teenage girls involved, which is probably a good thing, as I'm a one-sexual man in my 60s. I've lived a full life of blowing myself... thank you Jesus.
This cracker tastes funny...

Travis, wipe that shit eating grin off of DFStuckey's face...

That metaphor is going to haunt me as long as there are literal minded idiots in the net. But at least there are a few wits around to liven things up....
Assuming from some of the witnesses that these things occur, which I am willing to concede may in fact do, I would like to find out just what none is convinced is a better use of time than this. Well, apart from surfing the 'net, that is.
Parents give it to much thought.. no wonder your kids dont want to talk to you
I say 'gentle' all boys at the age of 11 and we would make such great strides in society, environmental protection and world peace that it would boggle the minds of even the most utopians. Am I not correct?
My (Oh Lawdy) Mother forced me to watch an episode of "The Doctors" talking about the "Truth" about teen sex. In this episode, they brought the most stereotypical IDIOTIC teenage girls on. About halfway through the episode, they started talking about Rainbow Parties.
I thought blumpkins were pretty ridiculous. I stand corrected, Rainbow Parties are the most ridiculous type of sex act I have ever heard of.
Seriously though, that show was bullshit. Apparently as racier shows rose in popularity, it caused teen preggys to go up. That's just two graphs side by side... I mean if I put the average number of grasshoppers in my yard over last year and the number of teen pregnancies side by side, I guess more grasshoppers=more preggos.
