I got a Talk from my mother just before I started high school that embarrassed her and told me nothing, then I found the home medical book, and the next time the subject of sex passed between us was when I was a junior in college and she found my birth control pills, and it was way too late for anything regarding mother/daughter bonding.
Oh, and at some point she said in passing, "I was glad someone knew what was going on during our honeymoon," but my sister and I were too shocked to discuss anything further. Lord, I never even *thought* of asking Mother anything about sex.
Hil, pancakes? How...delicious.
The video was about some girls having a sleepover party, and one of them got her first period in the middle of the night. Then in the morning, the mother of the girl hosting the party explained to everyone what menstruation was, and since the conversation started while she was making breakfast, the pancake batter in the pan seemed like the convenient way to make a diagram.
My aunt Sharon told me about sex when I was 8 or 9, and that it was to make babies. And I looked at her astonished and said, "so you had sex TWICE??" When she said she'd had it more often than that, I was boggled as to why.
I love little kids' reactions to learning about teh sex. They're always "GROSS! WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT?" What a change hormones make!
It really does seem embarrassing and undignified, pre-puberty. I remember looking at adults, thinking, "They've had SEX?" and being alternately embarrassed for them, and amused.
It really does seem embarrassing and undignified
It's *totally* undignified!
Just...the fun is worth the indignity.
There was a "hygiene" talk at my high school, for the girls only, which consisted of equal parts "you think no one know you're sneaking off to your aunties to get busy with your boyfriends? Everybody knows. Don't do that" and "don't be thinking you can get away with not showering in the winter". It was infinitely weird and not at all informative. I think there was only one the four years I was there, and there were always a couple of pregnant girls in class, so I don't know what the idea was.
Well, it IS pretty hilarious. Real-people sex is. It can be pretty in the movies, but that's all lighting and angles and baby oil and stuff.
I'm always amazed that people want to film themselves having sex. It's like, "Really? How are you ever going to want to have sex after seeing that?" ZERO desire to see myself having sex. None. You have to be pretty undignified to have good sex, and I would be just like ZOMG, noooo! TURN IT OFF.
ZERO desire to see myself having sex
Wrod.
Sometimes I think "What must this look like?" and have to think other thoughts quickly.
don't be thinking you can get away with not showering in the winter
Who, who, who is trying to get away with that?
