[ExI] kiwis keeping it real

[William Flynn Wallace]

Yes, a few men get addicted, but overall I am in favor of kids learning
about sex from a very young age - none of this stork business.  What that
will do is make the lies and mistakes about sex he will hear in school
(rather, after school) ring false.  If you have all the visual knowledge
and the correct terminology, there should be no giggling and embarrassment
- it's just life the way adults practice it.  I would have no trouble with
kids seeing consensual, normal sex.  Farm kids are no more neurotic about
sex than city kids - less so, in fact.  If you raise a kid like this, he or
she will be the go-to person in the school and neighborhood for good info.

My memory keeps going back to an incident in college:  a girl ran from her
biology class shouting "Not my mother!  Not my mother!"  This kind of
trauma is ridiculous, and would never happen in kids who were properly
educated.  And yes, in schools.  We cannot rely on the parents to teach
sex, no matter how they promised themselve they would do.  They did not get
any education from their parents and wanted to.  The average (that is to
say, fairly stupid) mind conflates teaching about sex with their wanting to
do it right away.  Data are just the opposite.

Did you know that I was a member of the Society for the SCienfitic Study of
Sex?  Gave a paper in Boston.   The had a clothing optional masked ball
(heeheehee)
