NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Social-networking Web sites Facebook and MySpace have identified and disabled accounts used by more than 3,500 registered sex offenders in New York State using a law passed last year that requires sex offenders to register their emails and online aliases with the state, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday.

At a press conference, Cuomo said Facebook has disabled accounts held by 2,782 registered sex offenders and News Corp.’s MySpace has disabled accounts linked to 1,796 registered sex offenders. Some of the sex offenders were on both Web sites.

Cuomo said many of the offenders were violating their parole by being on social-networking sites and are prohibited from interacting with young people.

“Whether it’s a playground on the street corner or a playground in cyberspace, it doesn’t matter,” Cuomo said.

Under the state’s Electronic Securing and Targeting of Online Predators Act passed last year, registered sex offenders are required to register their emails and other online identifiers with the state.

The law sets mandatory restrictions on a sex offender’s access to the Internet where the offender’s victim was a minor, the Internet was used to commit the offense or they are among the highest-level offenders.

Cuomo said Facebook and MySpace are the online social-networking sites who have sought access to the information compiled under the e-Stop law.

His office is sending letters to 17 other social-networking sites encouraging them to take advantage of the data gathered under the law, including classmates.com and Friendster, Cuomo said.

A spokesman for United Online Inc. (UNTD), which operates classmates.com, didn’t immediately have a comment Tuesday. A spokesman for Friendster didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Joe Sullivan, Facebook’s assistant general counsel, said the Web site voluntarily adopted a policy to not allow registered sex offenders on the site. He called New York’s law the model for other states and the nation.

In a statement, MySpace Chief Security Officer Hemanshu Nigam said, “We applaud and support Attorney General Cuomo’s leadership in his ground breaking use of e-STOP to make the Internet a safer place. MySpace utilized e-STOP to complement technology we had already put in place to remove registered sex offenders from our community as part of a comprehensive approach to protecting Internet users from predators.”

Apparently, drug addiction, arrests and divorce were the least of Mackenzie Phillips’ problems.

The former childhood actress reveals in her new book, “High on Arrival,” that her father, musician John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas, who died in 2001, engaged with her in a long-term incestuous relationship, People magazine reports.

Phillips, 49, writes in her book that she was already a heavy drug user at 19, and starring on the TV sitcom “One Day at a Time” when her father first had sex with her – the night before she married Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones entourage in 1979.

“On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it,” writes Phillips. “I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything, too. Eventually I passed out on Dad’s bed.

“My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father.

“Had this happened before? I didn’t know. All I can say is it was the first time I was aware of it. For a moment I was in my body, in that horrible truth, and then I slid back into a blackout.”

Phillips also reveals in an interview on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that it was her father who introduced her to drugs.

“My father shot me up for the first time,” she says in a promotional video for her appearance, which airs Wednesday. “I remember going into my room, I was crouched on the floor. . . . He put the needle in my arm and put the plunger in and he missed,” she said. “He missed the vein and my whole arm went numb.”

In 1980, Phillips’ drug addiction led to her being fired from “One Day at a Time.” She went to rehab with her father and toured with him as part of The New Mamas and the Papas. It was at that time, she writes, that her sexual relationship with him became consensual.

“I was a fragment of a person, and my secret isolated me,” she writes in her book. “One night Dad said, ‘We could just run away to a country where no one would look down on us. There are countries where this is an accepted practice. Maybe Fiji.’

“He was completely delusional. No, I thought, we’re going to hell for this.”

LOS ANGELES — Three men charged with traveling to Cambodia to engage in sex acts with children have pleaded not guilty in Los Angeles.

The warnings about jelly bracelets are back.

Following waves of schools before them, administrators at the Angevine Middle School in Lafayette, CO have made it clear that the thin stretchy colored bands, first popularized by Madonna in the 1980s, are not welcome on school property.

Why? Because it came to the attention of teachers that the different colors on the bracelets signaled different levels of sexual activity in which the student was willing to engage.

According to the various websites where jelly bracelets are discussed, the girls wear them and the boy who breaks them can claim his “prize” based on the color code: yellow is a hug, purple is a kiss, blue is oral sex and black is intercourse. There are more (and they get more graphic) but you get the idea.

I would be appalled at this game, and I would applaud attempts to ban the bracelets, if I thought the threat was real. But what has just come to the attention of administrators at Angevine has been wandering the Internet for years.

In an extensive analysis on Snopes.com — the website dedicated to examining urban legends — Barbara Mikkelson likens the jelly rumors to the beer and soda tab lore of 30 years ago, when it was said that a broken pull tab could be exchanged for a kiss and an unbroken one could be traded for sex. (They also remind me of the “rainbow party” rumors a few years ago, where girls supposedly wore different colored lipstick to leave multicolored rings after oral sex, which turned out to be urban legends, too.)

Then, like now, Mikkelson writes, there was no reason to believe that kids were actually compelling each other to provide sexual favors on the basis of a can tab or a broken bracelet (which, she points out, are darn hard to break.) She writes:

We’ve heard from hundreds of folks. The adults who’ve written almost always say their kids are never going to wear those bracelets again. On the other hand, almost without exception, the middle- and high-school kids from all across the US express shock that the adults would think they were actually obeying this “code” and disappointment in their elders for failing to understand the bracelets are no more than a cool fashion accessory that has attracted a silly rumor.
That is what students seem to have told administrators at Angevine Middle School too. “It’s turned out that a lot of the kids, especially the girls, wear them as fashion statements,” Briggs Gamblin, a spokesman for the school district, told my colleague Dan Frosch this weekend, “and some were adamant they didn’t have any connotation.” And of the dozens of websites I clicked through while researching the bracelets, every one of them talked about how ridiculous the rumors were, or how worried parents were, but none seriously promoted the code.

What is serious, though, is that the bracelets have young children talking about sex, possibly in ways they don’t yet understand. As Mikkelson notes, “one way the pull tab beliefs differ from the ‘sex bracelets’ code is the age of the participants; the rumor of thirty years ago was circulated mainly in high schools, but today’s version is moving through grade and middle schools.”

So maybe the lesson here is not to ban the bracelets in the classroom, but rather to talk to our children at home?

Think you know everything there is to know about men and sex?

Given much of what we think we know is myth-based, you may want to think again. Men and women alike assume they know the “ins and outs” of a man’s libido, sexual antics and romantic pursuits simply because of what they’ve been told.

But when you stop to really digest and analyze what we’ve been brainwashed to believe about men’s sex lives, it’s easy to see that a lot of what we “know” is dead wrong.

1. Men can have sex anytime/anywhere.

Sure, there are moments in a man’s life when he’s seemingly in heat, ready for any ride. Yet such states are not his norm. A man’s emotional fitness influences his sexual health and satisfaction.

This emotional fitness is influenced by his physical fitness, for example, stress, fatigue or anxiety. His lifestyle also plays a role. Is he a workaholic? How he feels about his lover and relationship factor into his needs and wants. Then with age and experience, many men come to learn that they require an emotional connection with their lover. That makes for a hotter sexual connection.

2. Men are only romantic to please the object of their affection.

This notion can be broken down in a number of ways. Some men do in fact woo to please. Some woo to be wooed. Others enjoy the wooing more than the romance. Then there are those who use romantic efforts as a way to have sex, to seal the deal in a life-long partnership, or maintain a union.

Overall, his romantic pursuits support the hypothesis that romantic love is a motivation system designed to enable suitors to build and maintain a close relationship with a preferred mating partner. Any scenario highlights research findings showing that men may tend to be more unrealistically optimistic, believing that good things are likelier to happen to them than others, as reported in Daniel Amen’s book, “Sex on the Brain.”

This includes his sex life.

3. Men always prefer to initiate sex.

Really? Consider how much he enjoys being seduced. In “Sex in America: A Definitive Study,” R.T. Michael and colleagues found that 93 percent of men find appeal in watching their partner undress. Edward Laumann and colleague’s 1994 research on sexual practices in the U.S. found that 41percent of men use any form of erotic materials. And a great deal of erotica is created to seduce the viewer.

4. Men think about sex every 7 seconds.

If you do the math, this statement is ridiculous. Being awake for 17 hours per day, for example, would make for having sex thoughts more than 61,000 times a day. That doesn’t leave time for much of anything else, now does it?

5. He’s better off living the life of a bachelor.

While living Playboy-style may hold its appeal, it’s not in his long-term interest. According to a 2006 study in the “Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health,” married people are healthier (and wealthier). Those who have never married run the highest risk of death in the U.S.

Researchers speculate that marriage acts as a buffer against negative factors that can decrease one’s longevity, like social isolation. Other research has found that marriage has health benefits for men, helping married men to outlive their divorced or widowed counterparts.

6. Men aren’t into kissing unless it involves a lot of tongue.

While the general thought is that he’s into French kissing in his pucker-up pursuits, a number of men like the softer, gentler smooches. In surveying 50,000 men, William Cane, author of “The Art of Kissing,” found that men adore 30 various kinds of kisses that don’t involve sticking a tongue down a throat.

7. After a certain age, he’s beyond manual stimulation.

A common belief, at least among the ladies, is that the sexually mature male is bored to death with any below-the-belt hand action. Part of this is due to the fact that men spend so much time with their own hands during quality solo time.

Yet that’s exactly part of what makes it so pleasurable – he has somebody else doing his job. He can just sit back and relax.

8. He wants to hit heaven as soon as possible.

Even when a guy doesn’t have premature ejaculation, it seems that he can’t wait to reach ecstasy. With his sexual excitement soaring, men have trouble holding back. This is often interpreted as “he can’t wait” to climax.

Yet, many men are well aware that holding off makes for a more intense orgasm. A number, too, would love to luxuriate in their lovemaking rather than rush through such magnificent moments.
