Here is a news-worthy material that will never find its way into the mainstream media. Is your daughter grinding? First, what is “grinding.” According to Mariam’s Webster dictionary it is “to rotate the hips in an erotic manner.” So, to paraphrase the question, I will ask - is your daughter rotating her hips in an erotic manner? To add to that, is she doing that while a guy is standing behind her?

I don’t want to be a party pooper, but the chances are that if your daughter has danced at a party, she has grinded, because it is the most popular way to dance nowadays. It is fascinating to think about the ways that dancing has changed in order to speed things up. It makes me wonder every time I see people dance this way. Are we that primitive, that we actually have to simulate a sexual act on the dance floor in order to show affection? The days of the tango and waltz are gone. Sure, some people still enjoy that kind of dancing, but the most common way to dance at a party nowadays is indeed grinding.

No, I don’t need statistics or all kinds of data to back my claim up, if you go to any sort of disco, frat house, party, etc. you will find an awful sight. I am not here to tell you how messed up your kids are, or about modern values - I just find it fascinating that if I were a parent, I would really feel embarrassed to find out that my daughter is grinding.

Why embarrassed? Maybe embarrassed at the path that our society is taking, the awful music videos being promoted on TV and the never-ending sexual ads on billboards and the media. As comedian Steve Byrnes said, it is funny slash depressing at the same time. Where are the romance and the anticipation? They are nowhere to be found.

One should really look at this issue at a different, more global perspective. We are evolving. We want things faster and ready-to-go. Our world is getting smaller and smaller, to the point where we can never leave our room and still get the information we need. We also want instant gratification, instant success, instant downloads and instant fun. So, when you asks your daughter if she has grinded, don’t be surprised if she instantly says “yes.”

Again, I know that a lot of schools are trying to ban this, but that’s not the way to go. If people want to do it just let them. They are going to do it anyways. Like always, I just like to question the motives for it.
