"Enhanced" Commercials???

Abs - the possibilities are frightening!

And yui - yes we do kiss the boy - and hug and snug. (Until he won't let us anymore - sigh - he's already pretty wriggly)

Speaking of commericials, I miss the Taco Bell Dog.:(
 
I'm all for kids seeing and knowing everything they want at any age. If they ask 'awkward' questions, then tell them the truth. Much of it goes over their heads, and they only take in what they can at the time.

Look what religion and prudes have done for sex! Most everyone now has a complex about it. It's a taboo subject in most families. Most parents are embarrassed discussing it.

THANKS PRUDES and RELIGIOUS NUTS - you have reduced the most natural thing in the world, and the very essence of life into something to be talked about in whispers, or avoided. And all sorts of restrictions and censures put on it.

Hopefully a new generation - more enlightened than previous ones - will grow up accepting it for what it is, rather than something to wonder and make blue jokes about.

Like anything else, education is what is needed, not suppression, and trying to hide it under the carpet.

I was situated that until 16 I didn't know boys had dicks. I was shielded from all knowledge of sex. I'm like many girls brought up 'safely' in religious schools by nuns - I'm making up for all I missed out on.

This seems normal practice with kids that have been 'protected' from the evils of sex. Unfortunately, they often fall pregnant because their knowledge has not kept pace with their natural desires.

I know. It cracks me up. "Go forth and multiply!" But by the gods if you enjoy it you're wrong and bad! WTF? Are you people trying ot imply that your God's infinite wisdom and love made it feel good by... mistake? Good one. :rolleyes:

Incredible. (But glad to hear you're making up for lost time!) :D

Immediately after our son was born the rest of the family came in to see the new baby. They didn't know yet if it was a girl or boy.

Our daughter was with my parents (she was 4 years old at the time) and I pulled the blanket back on the baby to show her so she could be the one to shout, "It's a boy!"

It's a great memory. :)

I am one that can vouch for the ol' stereotype of the "Preacher's daughter". I dated one and I can truthfully say that she was the only girl I ever dated who actually weirded me out with some of the things she wanted to try. I've had a pretty decent variety of relationships and while there have been other women/girls who were more "progressive and aggressive" in their sexual explorations than I was, it was always to a point where I was like, "well, OK, we could try that."

But lil' miss naughty preacher's daughter wanted things I just could not handle, at least at that time.

Hey! That was cute. I bet she don't grow up in ignorance.

From my own and others' comments, it points to 'protecting' kids from knowledge, as not being too clever. Teach 'em about sex as you would any other subject. Treat the subject like you would for your young child wanting to cross the road to see what the shops held on the other side:

Hold their hand, explain that care needs to be taken in crossing. Agree that some 'goodies' are over there. Some may look pretty, but are dangerous if not handled correctly. Take them, let them view in wonderment, explain the merits and downsides of whatever catches their eye. They may not take it all in, but once you let them venture across on their own, they are more likely to check it's safe to cross. More importantly, they WILL 'look a gift horse in the mouth', and remember what Mum said. They may well make a purchase, however, it will be done so with at least SOME thought - and not in a mad rush, simply because they have suddenly been let off the leash and can now do so.
