It's babysitting, not baby making

Why do all these movies from my childhood show some young, naughty teenager babysitting kids and then her boyfriend shows up and within 3 minutes they’re making out hardcore on the couch half-way to 3rd base (which I believe is the base of gazing deep into each other’s braces)


Wouldn’t taking care of other people’s minions be the opposite of an aphrodisiac? I think it actually keeps girls single at least until the end of high school if they babysit regularly. It just seems to be a perpetuated urban myth of the horndog babysitter and that needs to stop. Babysitters are schoolmarms, pre-marm. They’re not Alicia Silverstone. You just got called out, late-80s to mid-90s movies.


I think actual babysitting goes a little more like this:
