Log InChile’s disaffected ‘Pokemones’ don’t care much about politics. They’re too busy having sex - says Newsweek.
The teens call their public orgies ponceo. On a typical Friday afternoon in the Chilean capital of Santiago, hundreds gather in a leafy urban park for a few hours of sexual experimentation. Surrounded by passing strollers, they trade partners multiple times — mostly engaging in anonymous rounds of oral sex. When the party is over, no contact information is exchanged. Same-gender interactions are commonplace, as the lines between hetero- and homosexuality are blurred, partly by the alcohol and drugs consumed, but also by shifting social mores held by Chilean youth, in contrast to their conservative parents. “Ponceo is about having fun,” says Natalia Fernandez, a 15-year-old with pink hair and a pierced chin. “This time I had seven partners.

And I thought I was so lucky to have lived through the 1970’s. Sexual anarchy lives.

Nice find, Josh. It’s quite interesting to see how youth internationally is behaving. After reading the article, it seems that those Chileans are taking emo style and going in a different direction with attitude. Though they’re not hippies, certainly they’re taking the “make love not war” to heart on a personal level. Too many times I’ve seen teens take an anti-social and inwardly focused behavior pattern, which unfortunately seems to lead to violence; either to a shootout or suicide. It’s nice to see a more social movement, maybe that’ll have better consequences.
We could do with some of that here in the US; as repressed as some South American cultures are, Americans are by far the most prudish sexually of any “Western” culture. I graduated from high school nearly ten years ago, and there certainly wasn’t any of that going on. Even the emo thing wasn’t there yet. There’s some progress being made, but there’s a long way to go.
I hope some intelligent, horny teen will see that article and think it’s a good idea here, and take it from there. I agree with Sidney on the point of safety, though. Have fun now, just do it in a way that ensures they can have fun later!
