Now I feel even worse because October3 has done it. :(

It's alright. :fluffle:

I just want to know where the girls who said "I'll suck you off or take it in the ass to keep my virginity" were when I was in high school. That would have been awesome!
They turned into certain posters' moms on NS.
:eek:

Look, here's a lateral solution for the Church of the Silver Ring Thing, or whatever they're called:

The ring should be worn where it cannot be seen.
The labia. Both of 'em.

Boy: Hey, nice piercing! Uh ... how do you get it off ?
Girl: You don't. But ... I'm not wearing ear-rings ...?

And any teacher who even knows about it goes straight to jail.
Hey!

*taps foot*

My concern with my daughter's vagina has basically been limited to: buying pads when she lived with me, making her Ob/Gyn appointments and paying the co-pays, and telling her that she really should hold off on procreation until after college. So far, so good.
Yeah, my dad was pretty much the same way.

Of course, my dad is awesome. I was sure he'd be grossed out when I needed to buy pads the first time, or freaked out when I needed a new bra when we were at the store, but he never seemed to give a crap. He never pitched a fit if my mom put tampons on the shopping list for him to pick up. He never made a big deal out of any of that stuff, the way I see so many guys doing.

FATHERS AND FUTURE FATHERS, TAKE NOTE: Your daughter is paying attention. If you act like her body is gross or weird or embarrassing, she will internalize that. If you act like periods are dirty and shameful, she will remember that. She will remember how her dad thinks of her body. She will probably assume that other men will think the same thing.

sure it is! I totally plan on taking my girls out for a big celebration

"ho-rah! your girl stuff is working now!"

lots of fun!
My mom was so funny...she bought me this little statue thing of a goddess, and it had a spot on the center where you were supposed to put a drop of your first menstrual blood. Then it becomes your personal fertility totem.

She fully intended it as a joke, since she obviously didn't want her 11 year old being fertile (nor did I want to be).

This thread is lol now.

It is posts like this which piss me off. Just so you know.

Don't take the stage just to applaud. Unless you want the fat lady's knickers over your head.
Damn, how can five simple words be so inspiring? The spirits conspire to make us lovers, perhaps. Or perhaps I just need a tissue.

Hmm. Most people would say an eleven year old is not sufficiently mature or independant to give consent to sex.
Yet you were already pursuaded that pregnancy was the thing to avoid.

I'm not saying that you getting pregnant in your early teens would be a good thing, I'm just wondering if that was the ONLY factor of sexuality you were warned about?

Now the really personal question. The one I will ask you with no expectation of an answer: at what age did you first have sex? The kind of sex which could lead to pregnancy?

I wasn't persuaded, as far as I remember. I've just never wanted babies. My folks actually are a bit sad about it, because they've been very happy they had kids. If anything, they encouraged me to view parenting as a positive experience. It's just that nobody really wants their 11 year old to be a mommy.

Heavens no.

My mom is a psychologist who has dealt with victims of sex abuse for upwards of 30 years. She, more than most people, knew the importance of providing full and comprehensive sex ed to her kids.


Now the really personal question. The one I will ask you with no expectation of an answer: at what age did you first have sex? The kind of sex which could lead to pregnancy?
Well, I had sexual contact that could technically have resulted in pregnancy at about age 14 or 15. Of course, I was on birth control pills by age 14 (for unrelated medical reasons), and I was mostly involved in a homosexual relationship when I was younger, so most of my sex life didn't run the risk of pregnancy.

Yeah, my dad was pretty much the same way.

You know, my mom and dad had some pretty fucked up views about sex--they were fundamentalist christians, after all--and sadly, some of that wore off. It took a while to get past it. But they were never weirded out by biology, at least of the non-evolutionary sort, and I thank them for that, because I understood puberty well before I hit it and the menstrual cycle before my sister did, and that knowledge stood me well in the sense that it kept me from being misinformed and grossed out.

that's pretty cool......

Thankyou. I will sleep on that.

I would be honoured if we could disagree on some subject of little importance to either of us.
We would make a fine dance of it, while florists throw flowers and maids snatch at bouquets.

This whole thread is low-hanging fruit.

Like balls. Y'know. Testicles. Swingin' testicles.

You're a silly person. =)

A lot of folks don't seem to realize how important it is to educated your kids about sex, for their own safety.

Kids need to know about their bodies and about sex acts, so they can better learn to recognize if somebody is touching them inappropriately. They need to feel safe talking to their parents about their bodies and about sex, because if they think these subjects are forbidden then they will be even less likely to confess if something bad has happened to them.

It is horrible to imagine something like that happening to your kid, so I can completely understand why a lot of parents don't want to think about it at all. But I believe that part of being a parent is dealing with unpleasant, icky, or even painful things because SOMEBODY has to do it, and your kids are depending on you.

Parents also have to remember that some day their kids ARE going to have sex, most likely, and they need to have some idea of what's normal/healthy and what is not. I once helped a friend of mine take her sister to the hospital, because the sister was bleeding profusely after losing her virginity. She thought it was "supposed to hurt," and had some vague notion that there was supposed to be blood, so she did nothing for almost 24 hours while she continued to hurt and bleed excessively. It turns out that part of her vaginal wall had been torn, and if she hadn't gotten help she could have developed some pretty serious complications. Even after she got the idea that something was wrong, she knew she could never talk to her parents about something "down there," so she just hid the problem until her sister got home.

Or, if you want a slightly less traumatic story, I met a girl in college who absolutely positively refused to ever consider having sex with a boy because she thought a guy would pee inside her during sex. I had to check out books from the library to prove to her I wasn't lying when I explained that ejaculation and urination are different processes.

"Quickly, Jug Boy, to the Bottlemobile!"

"Flaming flagons, Bottle, that was a close one!"

"Now now, no need for profanity, Jug Boy! We will regroup in the Bottle Grotto and consult the Bottle Computer. Commander Corkscrew won't get away with this!"

God/Goddess/Science (whatever your poison) Bless You.

More attitudes like this could potentially save this consumerist(sex sells)/Puritan(sex is filthy!) nation from itself. I would want you teaching my sons and daughters...if I had any.
