Rainbow Parties
The recent publication of a novel for teenagers titled RAINBOW PARTY has revived debate about whether or not such 'rainbow parties' are real. As a recent NY Times article explained, "rainbow parties are group oral sex parties in which each girl wears a different shade of lipstick, and each guy tries to emerge sporting every one of the various colors." Such parties are supposedly all the rage with teenagers (kids these days!... what will they think of next?). In the book, a teenage girl has to decide whether or not to go to such a party, but the party ends up never taking place.The concept of rainbow parties first gained widespread attention back in 2003 when a guest on the Oprah show claimed that all kinds of teenagers were going to these things. But the thing is, tales about rainbow parties always seem to be third-hand: coming from adults who are trying to raise alarms about teenage sexuality. The same NY Times article notes that "Many say rainbow parties are just a new urban legend -- suburban, actually -- not much more trustworthy than the old stories about alligators in the sewer."
I'd have to agree that the rainbow party concept is probably more urban legend than reality. It reminds me of the Jelly Bracelet tale (that teenagers supposedly wear color-coded jelly bracelets to indicate to other kids what kind of sexual acts they're willing to perform). But as always with such things, it may have started out fake, but give it enough time and someone, somewhere, is probably going to be inspired to make it real.

It's interesting that such 'grown up' people are participating endlessly and all-encompassingly in a discussion about sexual behaviour involving pre-teens. get a life.
Posted by Girl on Fri Feb 03, 2006 at 02:07 PMyo...parties like this do happen, but they'r enot as commonas people think. i hate how adults are all 'we understand teenager...we want to help" but in reality, they just make this stuff up because they failed as a teen and now they want to get back into the swing of "cool" things....losers
Posted by guess in in the us on Tue Apr 25, 2006 at 06:31 AMI think the vast majority of this is fearmongering, but I know a guy who's supposedly been to one, after everybody heard about them through Oprah or whatever. They're certainly not common or anything, but I'm fairly sure they do occasionally happen.

Posted by none on Wed May 09, 2007 at 08:12 PMnone, if I may call you that - Japanese name, is it not? - Having just come from four hours at work (unpaid) performing tests to prove conclusively what the people who gave me the tasks already "knew" at a cost of NZ$120 a time, I am not sure that a Rainbow Party sounds more like a profitable use of precious time than my current job.
Assuming from some of the witnesses that these things occur, which I am willing to concede may in fact do, I would like to find out just what none is convinced is a better use of time than this. Well, apart from surfing the 'net, that is.
