I'm studying Freud's theories on "Infantile Sexuality". Good stuff.
I guess by birth and as we grow we learn to repress our sexuality as children. It's too "obscene" for a child to have those kind of feelings, however people forget sexuality is in our damn nature.
I wonder what would happen if sex was a freely explored subject from birth?
People should take in consideration the fact about teen pregnancy, STD's, and promiscuous teens. I hate those stupid only abstinence classes, that teach all about "saving yourself" and nothing real about sex.
What's more important? The safety of denial that your kid isn't having sex, or not having to wake up at three in the morning with your new grandkid and his 15 yr. Old mother?
Believe me, I'm just as aware that talking about sex can give some "wondering" kids ideas. Though, where would you really want them to get their information? Their equally absent minded friends or you? Personally, I would want them to come to me.
Sex (to me) should be opened and honest, and of course you should stick to the basics (Depending on how the child is) until you know what your child can and can't handle.
This is all random thought, and completely my opinion on most levels.
