5.0 out of 5 stars Pull your head out of the gutter, January 30, 2009
This review is from: Rainbow Party (First Things First Series) (Board book)
The book is fine for small children and is a good read in the genre for which it was written. To Matthew" ~~Only an ignoramus would bother to comment on a book they haven't read. I think they ought to delete your "review". Your comments are rooted in their own narrow view and apparently sexually oriented mind. This book was published before the term was coined to the act that you reference and seeing as the content is aimed at an audience quite younger than need worry, I hardly think it is fair or necessary to trash the book because of a title that is shared by a select few people.

For instance:

The rainbow party was first publicized in October 2003 on the Oprah episode "Is Your Child Leading a Double Life?", which was about the perceived trend of increasing sexual promiscuity among American youth and the lack of parental awareness of the sexual practices of their children.[2] One guest on the show, who claimed to be aware of teenagers' sexual habits, claimed, among other things, that many teens across the United States engage in "rainbow parties." According to the report, teenage girls enjoy the competitive aspect of the event by using the lipstick to "mark" the depth of oral penetration, treating the sex play as a contest of sorts.

HOWEVER:

A rainbow party is an urban legend about a group sex event involving oral sex. At these parties, said to be increasingly popular among adolescents, females wear various shades of lipstick and supposedly take turns fellating males in sequence; this leaves a "rainbow" of colors on their penises. The idea was first publicized by Oprah Winfrey's talk show in 2003. Deborah Tolman, director of the Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality at San Francisco State University writes: "This 'phenomenon' has all the classic hallmarks of a moral panic. One day we have never heard of rainbow parties and then suddenly they are everywhere, feeding on adults' fears that morally-bankrupt sexuality among teens is rampant, despite any actual evidence, as well as evidence to the contrary."[1]

Rainbow Party is also a novel commissioned by a Simon & Schuster editor to "scare" kids.[3] The author was Paul Ruditis.

1.0 out of 5 stars are you serious?, September 24, 2006
This review is from: Rainbow Party (First Things First Series) (Board book)
I have no idea what this book is about or if it is any good or not, but the title is repulsive. A rainbow party is one where girls take turns fellating members of the opposite sex in turn. The end result is the guys members' are smeared with many shades of lipstick, thus a rainbow party
