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.
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
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?
WTF PANCAKES?!
I mean, I know, you already explained, but were they TRYING to ruin breakfast?
My AIDS-era public school sex ed was STDs and AIDS and STDs and AIDS and pop quizzes on the failure rates of contraception methods I still have never seen in the wild. And then more AIDS. I'm not sure what Texas is so worried about with the whole abstinence only thing, because lemme tell you, with the right statistics-obsessed football coach, sex ed can be incredibly comprehensive and yet still DON'T.
(although to give the guy credit, he was way ahead of his time on rape awareness, where his line was pretty much "consent is not optional, what she was wearing doesn't matter, and DON'T)
Who, who, who is trying to get away with that?
I don't know! it was too bizarre.
