I just can't remember when or why the U.S. got so ass backwards about everything! Or, maybe it always was, but I just didn't notice whilst growing up in So.Cal.... either way, it's time to pull our collective heads out of our collective butts and grow the hell up!
Just another thing I've been saying for decades - talk to children while they're young (around the time they start asking questions) about their bodies and love-making (sex), let them explore BEFORE they can get pregnant (I know, no one will go for that, but puleeze, you didn't played "doctor" when you were little?)... remove the TABOO and you remove the intrigue, remove the intrigue and you remove the fervent desire to simply find out what all the fuss is about.
Has no one ever heard of reverse psychology? Keep telling our kids to be abstinent., because that is working SO DAMN WELL! How about the straight-forward psychology of telling the truth and not treating our kids like they're idiots? Remove the taboo, in age-appropriate ways, and I swear, our kids will make their own good decisions. All that any of us need, under any condition, is information and understanding; those two things always promote good decision making, and it's no different for our children.
