Thread Name: BS: Where did the children go?
Subject: RE: BS: Where did the children go?
I think Fred makes a very important point about the repressed sexuality of past generations.I certainly never saw my parents undressed or remember any conversation of a sexual nature. I'm not sure that it did me any harm, that is to say, I don't think I'm driven to seek out sexual thrills in places I shouldn't, but judging from the spam that comes to my e-mail adress there's a lot of people that do. That sort of supression can be dangerous to some folk, depending on their pyscological make-up and although my earlier comments here may suggest I'm a little prudish where my daughter is concerned, I've no problem with open discussion about sex, nor do I worry about my daughter seeing me take a shower. In that respect I would rather she was more comfortable about seeing the human form than my generation. I think it's the allusion to sexual acts that make me uncomfortable when it's directed at very young children.
