Recovering this from the blur of commentary.
In a way, I think that being exposed to good, bawdy humor throughout one's life is probably the best way to gain a healthy attitude towards sex. Good bedroom farce can show that sex is fun, complicated, has consequences, etc. and make it seem like a natural part of life.
Loving Anne's suggestion that sex education be taught through Feydeau.
Holy hell, I meant Rabelais.
No Baudelaire?
Dude, that's graduate work.
Also Rabelais (see above, re: edited post).
Yay, Daniel!
And for something completely different ... My boss is at flea's Looniversity nailing down details for a two-year-at-least project. I feel so espionage-y. Like I should have her tell him, "Your folks must work so hard, you should give them a raise."
Baudelaire is all depressing and deathy. I don't want to make my kids into premature Goths.
Betsy, I edited. I didn't mean Baudelaire.
While I approve of Rabelais's sexual enthusiasm, I don't think he'll provide the same
educational
value that Anne is espousing. However, Rabelais educated children would have a highly sophisticated view about wiping their ass.
