Sex Isn’t a 4 Letter Word!
We’re all here. Seems like a fairly obvious statement but some people seem to forget that. We take alot of crap from people, people from all walks. They seem to miss a very key aspect of things, that we’re all here.
As much as it is a little bit disturbing to think about it, you’re here because your parents schtupped. They got down. Got it on. More likely than not they did it a bunch too.
Anyways, back to my rant.
There is no reason not to be open about sexual matters. With your kids, siblings, parents, really anyone for that matter. In terms of specifics that is up to your discretion, but general conversations shouldn’t be a problem at all. SEX ISN’T A 4 LETTER WORD! And it sure as hell never will be!
It would be bad enough if we were just a “Don’t push the red button!” society, but unfortunately, at this point we can’t even openly discuss that there is a red button at all! People get upset when 14 year old girls get knocked up, or even if they find out they’re having intercourse for that matter. Frankly, I would be too if it was my daughter (I have none). Well, instead of shifting blame solely to a 14 year old girl (who can’t even get a drink, a pack of smokes, or a porno if she wanted), maybe these kids parents should take a little responsibility. Instead of shying away from something as taboo as sex (the reason you’re alive to read this right now), why not actually address and educate!
Too many parents it seems these days leave this daunting task up to the school system. Not knocking the school system at all, but let’s assume for a second your child is actually in class and not in the principals office, or out sick, or skipping that day.
1) Kids generally don’t retain a whole hell of alot of information they learn in school
2) There are fairly strict guidelines on what teachers can and can’t say (even in sex ed)
3) How well do you know your childrens teachers?
4) Your kid is probably daydreaming about the new playstation 3, not giving a rats ass about about what a Fallopian Tubes purpose is
5) You don’t need to know that a fallopian tube even exists to get yourself into trouble sexually (pregnancy, std’s etc.)
I’m using parents and their kids as an example here, but realize that this carrys over to you grownups as well. This whole elephant in the living room nonsense isn’t going to fly anymore. How do you expect your kids not to get trampled if you don’t explain that Hey! You’re too young to get trampled by an elephant! Lemme tell you, it’s right there, this is your options when dealing with an elephant, and here is the risks and rewards.
In terms of couples and people that are married, even they have this similiar issues. First off, if you said I do, then there is no reason to not be upfront with your spouse. Whether you’re talking about what your favorite toothpaste is, or what your favorite sexual position is. ***Newsflash*** YOU’RE MARRIED, YOU’VE ALREADY SEALED THE DEAL AND MADE YOUR PROMISE TO GOD! It’s even ok to schtupp now in his eyes, and you’re still pussy footin around the subject! Come on!
For couples talking specifically about sexual matters I suggest 1 simple exercise for the two of you. But we’ll follow that up in a different entry~
