My parents hit sort of a middle ground--I'm actually going to write about this soon. I'm not sure they intended to leave me the space to make some of the decisions I did, but I appreciate that they were my decisions.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704189465052882543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31602017.post-77479642262906186492008-01-29T11:22:00.000-05:002008-01-29T11:22:00.000-05:00This was a great and important post.

My parents did the opposite and I always felt the effects of this, the shadow looming over me that sex was secret and shameful, and was not to be talked about until MUCH LATER. I had to find out everything on my own--even information about menstruation.<BR/><BR/>I think in this day and age teaching kids about responsibility and self-respect is important, for both genders.Aliki2006https://www.blogger.com/profile/15763865834765963343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31602017.post-61939518323504285392008-01-29T09:43:00.000-05:002008-01-29T09:43:00.000-05:00Great post, Mouse!

I'm still trying to figure out what my stance will be on promiscous sex... because it's really ok and even expected for men to be promiscuous but not for women, and that bugs the shit out of me. I worry that if I say encourage sex with love that I am somehow supporting the notion that a promiscuous woman is a slut, and I don't want to do that. Besides, chances are, my child(ren) may need to figure that out for themselves...cinnamon gurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363288586285868779noreply@blogger.com
