My dad used to leave the door open when he goes to the bathroom, and he would allow me to stand there and watch. He would not tell me to go "scoot" and he did not shut the door. He just stood there and peed while I watched. He did that up until I was about 6 or 7 years old, or maybe even 8 years old. I'm not sure he should have done that, especially if he was irresponsible about leaving the Playboy channel on and leaving the TV on without turning the channel when he left for work in the first place. He should have taught me the concept of privacy, especially since he was a grown man. I dunno.
Jillio, what do you think? Especially since it was OK for me to see my mother naked while she was changing clothes since she explained her body parts to me, but I don't feel it was OK for me to watch my dad pee since he was irresponsible about me seeing the Playboy channel on TV and not changing the channel or turning the TV off before he left for work?
Well, my opinion is that it was a bit irresponsible of him. There is a big difference between being open and honest with a child, and simply being careless in exposing them to things they aren't ready for.
That is complex iresponsibility someone really difficult to edcuation to sex? I think so not sure what is about to education????
Sex education is not always about intercourse. The act of sex.
Some people just don't seem to understand that.
Teaching children about their body parts and what is private or not. Teaching them what is an acceptable touch or not. or teaching them to keep certain parts private.
People just want to scream out sex ed is all about the act of sex. That is not the case with age appropriate sex ed. Remember the sex is the gender. The act of a sexual relationship is intercourse.
The mere word of "sex" itself just makes some people freak out.
No, not me. It's not what I said. I intepreted his post so you can understand what he said.
Never said it was you.
I just wanted to clarify my view of how people seem to freak out about sex education. Thinking it is JUST about intercourse.
No, not me. It's not what I said. I intepreted his post so you can understand what he said.
Oh, phew! Okay, gotcha. Thanks for clarity.
Yeah, I agreed with you and Shel... I think that's a shame... =/
Uh, huh. You know what I don't understand? People who speak out so strongly against abortion, but don't want to educate teens on how to protect themselves so they won't ever need an abortion. Or ones that want to involuntarily sterilize all sex abusers, but don't want kids to learn what they need to so they are at less risk of ever becoming a victim. It just doesn't make sense to me.:scratch:

Can I put my 2 cents without being flamed ?
I think there is no age to teach a child about sex, but we have, as adults, to find the right words for it.
Teaching them about birth control is too young though.
In France, we have good books for that, like "Le guide du zizi sexuel" with Titeuf :P
