Jelly Bracelets Linked To Sex Game

Bracelets Used As Sex Signals

UPDATED: 12:05 p.m. EST November 13, 2003

To an earlier generation, spinning a soda bottle seemed sexually daring and illicit, but, as Wendy Rieger reports, some teenagers today have a new sex game involving those popular jelly bracelets.

To most teenage girls they are just colorful plastic bracelet that the pop stars stack on their arms.

But in some schoolyards around the country these innocent bangles are actually referred to as sex bracelets.

That's right - sex bracelets.

There's a new game in some parts called "snap".

To play it, a boy pulls a bracelet off a girl's wrist and, depending on the color of the bracelet, the girl owes him a sex favor.

For example:
  • Yellow means a hug
  • Purple means a kiss.

It just escalates from there. In some areas,
  • Red means a lap dance
  • Blue means oral sex
  • Black means intercourse

The snap game was recently mentioned in Time magazine, but parents may find some comfort in knowing that so far it is not sweeping the country.

Only one school district in the D.C. metropolitan area has even heard of it and has not heard of anyone playing it. One administrator called it an urban legend.

Students from Wilson High in D.C who consider themselves cool and connected say they've never heard of it.

A game involving sex among teenagers may seem shocking, but sex among teenagers is not new. A recent study by Teen People found 54 percent of girls age 13 to 19 admit they are having sex.

That is why the local students we talked to thought the game was irrelevant.

"If you wanted to get any of those things, would you have to play the game to get them, no," said one.

So, for now, it appears the plastic bracelet is just a plastic bracelet in our area.

The plastic bracelets have been banned in at least one school district in Marion County, Fla.
