'Sex Bracelets' Cause For Parental Concern
Teens Using Bracelets To Signal Sexual Intentions

A fashion accessory may have a lot more meaning than you realize for your teenager: Jelly bracelets are making a comeback.

Jelly Bracelets For Sex

But instead of a fashion statement, they may be making a statement about your kid's sex life.

Madonna wore them in the '80s. Now, teen pop star Avril Lavigne has an armful, and singer Pink sports rainbow-colored rubber wear, and your little girl may have them, too.

Only this time these jelly bracelets have a new nickname: sex bracelets.

These bendable pieces of colorful rubber have a whole new unwholesome meaning: They're a sexual code to many teens.

Some colors mean different things, and people wear them for that reason.

Here's a common breakdown, from what teens told NBC 10:

Yellow: hugging
Purple: kissing
Red: lap dance
Blue: oral sex
Black: the full monty.

In a game called Snap, if a boy breaks a jelly bracelet off a girls wrist, he basically gets a sexual coupon for that act.

It's become such a problem in some middle schools in Florida, districts started banning the bracelets.

If your daughter is wearing one of these bracelets, it certainly doesn't mean she's having sex, following through on the Snap game, or even knows about the code,.

But experts say it's a good opportunity for you to have that all important conversation about sex, what you think is acceptable, and best for your family.

What goes in one neighborhood may not apply to another, and teenagers have their own ways of interpreting and morphing trends.

What's certain is the bracelets are here, and most kids we asked knew all about the new meaning.
