Some time in the past two weeks I heard they were going to tell people how to have “the talk” about the birds and bees/facts of life with their children. Having survived a couple of rounds of “the talk” with Al on a consultant basis (his father took the lead role here, which I commend him for because his parents never talked to him about it), I thought I would see if there was anything that I was missing. Well, according to the expert, the talk (to young ladies) should include the world of self love and possibly a supporting device. There was also the assertion that this would thwart women “falling prey” to some guy and having a bad outcome. I am a firm believer in teaching kids the truth about their bodies, truly, but I heard the brakes screeching in my head when stocking up the adult toy box came into play.
I think that the real information that will save girls from “falling prey” to no good men or whatever, is teaching them to choose people who are good for them and teaching them to leave alone people who are not. All the vibrators in the world will not help anybody who has no moral compass, no relationship standards or expectations. You can stimulate a part (or two) of your anatomy until you feel really really good. Ok. Can you relate to other people? Can you resolve conflict? Can you look out for yourself? Can you make demands when your interests need to be protected? Can you negotiate and receive benefits and make sacrifices for the good of the group and not be bitter? Can you cut bait or at least distance yourself when the people around you prove themselves toxic? No? Ok…
It is a beautiful part of life, but I think parents need to get real with their children and tell them about the meaning behind the stuff that happens before and after the sex. What do you think?
