Not only has the Christian community deemed premarital sex immoral, but some youth groups are now banning front-hugging also known as normal hugs. The alternative that they offer is the Christian Side Hug, for short the CSH. This hug rids any "sin", especially of the horrific crotch brush, that could come from the awful front hugs that we have given and received since childhood. As a Christian, I find it completely absurd to think that hugging someone is any more or less of a hug. But contrary to my naive beliefs about the sinfulness of hugs, a certain group of young Christian teens have made a rap about the CSH hoping they will start a nationwide renouncement of immoral hugging. Be warned, they're raps are as tight as their hand on their Bibles.

 Wow.  This just shows how screwed up our culture is around sexuality if people find HUGS perverted-its crazy.  Great post!

Actually, this video is meant to be a joke-- it's the abstinence movement poking fun at themselves, all in good fun.  

Check out Vanessa's post about it from a couple weeks ago: http://www.amplifyyourvoice.org/u/vanessaaishacoleman/2009/12/5/AbstinenceOnly-Rap-Christian-Side-Hug-Parody-or-Worse#more

But I think that even though it's a parody, there are still ab-only pushers that are using it seriously. I suppose any parody like this could fall into that trap, but this is the kind of thing that some people really believe. And that's sad.
