What do Purity Balls make you think of? I was watching TV, flippin' around a little in light of there being no Mad Men tonight and I stumbled upon the TLC channel. There it is, the title "Purity Balls." I couldn't stop saying it. I happily made my way through every sick joke I could think of during the hour long program, from any angle. Creepy right? I know, well, Purity Balls are full of life, particularly in Colorado Springs. It's all about this father/daughter relationship that has to do with...balls...and...purity. It's a noble cause where fathers pledge to become more involved and central in a daughters life. The only problem is that founders Randy & Lisa Wilson decided to call it Purity Balls. It really has little to do with balls, and more to do with kissing, as the daughters aim to save their first kiss for their wedding day. Weird, cause where I come from, the uptight save their Virginity for their wedding night, but I guess that's a little too secular. Let us replace sex with kissing and wedding night with wedding day. Let us also replace Promise Ring with Purity Balls. I feel like all these evangelical abstinence terms are starting to sound like a porn shop inventory ("yea, I'll have three purity balls, a leather mask, two promise rings, and a pair of hand cuffs").
What should they have called it, instead of Purity Ball?
