My mother is <I>incredibly</I> liberal about sex and talking to me and my sister about sex... and somehow I'm still a virgin at nineteen and currently feel absolutely no rush to change that state of affairs. I must just be a freak of nature, right? Couldn't possibly be that because I was educated about my choices and because my mother then made the choice to step back respect MY choices, I felt empowered to make decisions about my body that were positive for me and, shock horror, actually happily talked to my mother about them afterwards.<br /><br />Trust? Breeding trust?

She checked out his yearbook after he left. It was full of commendations for having thrown the best party of the year. My aunt was, I'm pleased to report, rather proud of her son's responsible hooliganism.<br /><br />So no, I have no experience with parents gasping "the horrors!" over admonishons from a child's peer group to practice safe sex. Personally, if I saw that, I'd be thrilled that peer pressure was working in my favor to keep my daughter not pregnant until she wants to be a mother.jenniebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16835396908376825004noreply@blogger.com
