You won�t be sorry. She knows the material very nearly as well as I do.� With that, he handed Dan the issue of Playboy, and said, �Review the material while I get her.� �Yes, doctor,� Dan replied, and accepted his assignment. He looked over the centerfold, while Dr. Coburn went to get his guest instruc

Then he headed for the door, as Melanie went upstairs. He drew it open, and said, �Dan, my boy, come in.� �Thank you, Dr. Coburn.� �How are things going?� �Great! Just great!� �Excellent,� Dr. Coburn exclaimed. �Tell me, how are you dealing with the numerous opportunities that seem to come your way?" �No problem.� �Haven't by any chance succumbed to any, have you?� �No, sir.� �Not even once?� �No, not once, sir,� he said, but his voice broke and he seemed remorseful. �What�s wrong, Dan?� �I only told you half the truth, sir.� �Half?� �I�m sorry. Help me! I need help!� Dr. Coburn closed the door to his den, and said consolingly, �Tell me all about it, son.� �I can�t believe it but it happened. I had a lapse.�

�Excellent, Dan! See you today for your first class,� Dr. Richard Coburn told the university�s star football player, who had just called to sign up for the doctor�s controversial course in abstinence, which was based on his hot new book, Just Say No To Sex. Since Dan Fox, like many a star athlete, was much beloved by the girls, his call had surprised even the ebulliently confident doctor. Just as Dr. Coburn hung up, his lovely and voluptuous daughter, who was also his prize student, returned from class, pausing just long enough to wave good-bye to the latest throng of male admirers who hooted from a passing convertible.

"But before I move on to the next section," Dr. Coburn told Dan, "let me point out that you actually have, not just three, but an entire armory of defensive words you can turn to.� �How do you figure?� �Consider all the things that you immediately associate with the words I gave you. For example, take Tyrannosaurus Rex. What comes to mind?� �Fossils," Dan replied tentatively. �Good. And?� �Bones.� �Very good,� Dr. Coburn commended him. �Now try Texaco.� �Gasoline." �And Mexico?� �Taco?� Dan wondered. �Terrific!� �Oh, I get it,� he said. �Taco, burrito, old bones, gasoline, self-service!" �Right!

The core words of your defensive system have ancillary associations that you can hurl against an encroaching enemy when and if the need should arise.� �Wow, talk about empowerment! I can think of associations all night.� �Good. But these words only constitute your first line of defense. Now that you�ve mastered them, it's time to move deeper into the Coburn Method, which brings us to my rock-solid Axioms of Abstinence. How are you holding up?� �I'm ready to go on.�

"As young people are prone to do, they actually want to do their part to help save the world � and now they see a practical way to proceed.� �We shall see. But, even if you are able to inculcate your linguistic nonsense, how long do you expect they'll abstain before their fulminating libidos overwhelm your flimsy barricades?� �Until they are comfortably and safely married.
