After being reproved by dozens of websites and slammed by many fans online, over their publicly lewd conduct, 17-year-old pop singer, Justin Bieber, continues to flaunt his relationship with 18-year-old actress, Selena Gomez, but in a somewhat less sexually overt manner. Gomez, who is apparently allergic to clothes, posed with a shirtless Bieber, who was rubbing her feet and wearing a cap that states "obey." Is the "obey" cap a subliminal message.

No one is suggesting Bieber remain single, as he is not a eunuch, but he needs to be smart about what he puts out there concerning his private life, particularly where his fans are concerned. His fans have shown him a great amount of affection and kindness, which is worth far more than a girlfriend nagging him to go public with sexually indecent conduct, to prove a relationship.

Gomez and Bieber also need to remember that he is a minor in the eyes of the law and no matter how modern Hollywood claims to be, the rest of the nation and the world still have standards, particularly where children are concerned. Had the roles been reversed and it had been a 18, soon to be 19-year-old boy, publicly engaging in lewd sexual contact with a young woman that just turned 17, an arrest warrant would have been issued. It has happened in other cases and jail sentences ensued.

Gomez needs to remember she is an adult, crossing state lines to engage in sexual conduct with a minor that is almost 2-years her junior. There's no way around that. Respect the law and public decency. Being publicly defiant in something that is illegal, is dangerous and unwise.
