15 Nov 07 - 05:36 PM (#2194814) Subject: BS: woman pleads guilty of sex ed From: Donuel A mother spoke of alternative safer sex acts to her 11 and 15 year old sons. to be exact she discussed fellatio. She even showed them a dildo! The 11 year old was heard to talk of this sex ed talk and someone got child services and the police involved. She was arrested. Then she plead guilty to avoid her sons having to testify against her. Yipes ignorance is still being enforced by law in 2007 Jeez, With friends of the kids like this who needs enemas. The talking cable news bimbos were shocked shocked and felt deeply for how this will warp the children's lives forever. I gotta get out of this excuse for a country before the inqusition reignites. |

I've had The Sex Talk individually with all of my kids. I even suggested to my daughter that she would benefit from knowing how to please herself and not always expect intercourse alone to get her there. She wasn't 18 yet. I gave her a book and a vibrator at the time. But hell, she was 17 when she started at the university. I figure if she's old enough to walk into that lion's den, she'd better know she has permission to figure out things for herself. If she hadn't already. (And here I've been feeling a little neglectful about not politely inquiring if she figured it out. I don't need the details--I only want her to be happy and fulfilled.) How paranoid is life in the U.S.? I live in county in a state where sex toys are illegal to sell. I've just admitted to some kind of crime. Sheesh. Joe, please leave it unidentified, even if you can tell who posted this. Thanks.

16 Nov 07 - 02:15 AM (#2195077) Subject: RE: BS: woman pleads guilty of sex ed From: katlaughing You're probably right, SRS. True confessions, I let my son sneak a copy of "Everything you wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask" into his bedroom and pour over it with his cousin. I think he was 12 at the time. By the time my girls were interested in knowing more, it was out of print (and pre-Internet search) so we moved on to Dr. Ruth's book. I even provided one to my daughter's friend whose mother was hopeless at helping her daughter to understand anything about life. |

Although Jacqui had already had that discussion with her two kids by her first marriage before I entered the equations, and although we felt it more appropriate for the opening up of the subject to be "mother daughter" with our daughter, I was always around for the discussions and we made damn sure that our daughter knew what she needed and wanted to know before the knowledge was "critical path". Probably the biggest single responsibility a parent has towards the later life of their children is to equip them for a happy sex life. |

17 Nov 07 - 08:25 AM (#2195872) Subject: RE: BS: woman pleads guilty of sex ed From: JohnInKansas One must appreciate that "American Women" are, according to apparent international reputation, so "cold," that one of the most important things a young lad can learn is how to turn the damned thing on and off for her. That may well be the limit of his "sexual participation" for a great many years - if the rumors and reputation are true. His mother should teach him at least how to twist the switch. But I don't believe all of the rumors I hear, and probably don't have a sufficient sampling to arrive at a statistically significant conclusion from personal experience. So far with my significant partners it's a little better than 50/50 against this one; but maybe I've just been lucky. John |

A few years before of course they were feeding from her breast. An erect penis is banned from TV and Cinemas although most blokes wake up with one.

17 Nov 07 - 05:40 PM (#2196251) Subject: RE: BS: woman pleads guilty of sex ed From: Little Hawk Interesting points to ponder, Alan. Is sex something we want to see in public or do we want to keep it private? And to what extent? Where do we draw the line? People have varying views on that. The same goes for seeing various parts of the body in public. It's not really so much a moral issue as it is an issue of what people feel comfortable with...or not...and that depends entirely on their own acquired understanding of culture and how they relate to various aspects like sex or nudity. I agree that there is nothing disgusting about the human body or about sex. However, it might be seen as desirable in many cultures to keep certain bodily and sexual matters private...not on public display. How do we feel, for example, about someone squatting and emptying their bowels in public or on the TV or whatever? Most of us don't want to see that! ;-) Dogs, however, don't care a hoot about it, it doesn't offend them, so it's not really a moral issue...it's a cultural issue. Cavemen probably didn't care about it either. It all depends on what you are used to, and what you consider normal permissible public behaviour in YOUR culture. That varies. At the one extreme you have prudishness and suppression. At the other extreme, you have gross exploitation of humans simply to make money or to create a sensation (which normally makes money!). Either extreme is a form of social illness. |

21 Nov 07 - 07:56 PM (#2199606) Subject: RE: BS: woman pleads guilty of sex ed From: JohnInKansas At Newsweek [quote] In Trouble For Show And Tell By Roya Wolverson NEWSWEEK Updated: 1:20 PM ET Nov 17, 2007 For Demarcus Blackwell, having the "sex talk" with his 15-year-old son was "kind of embarrassing." But that was nothing compared with the idea of explaining sexual harassment to his preschooler. "He doesn't have the slightest clue about sex anything," says Blackwell, of Waco, Texas, whose 4-year-old son Christopher was suspended last year for sexual harassment when a female school aide reported that the child buried his face in her chest when she hugged him. "How do you explain what's a better kind of hug?" Blackwell is one of a number of parents whose kindergartners and first graders are being suspended, often for days at a time, for sexual misconduct based on behavior like hugging, poking and pinching classmates or school staff. In Ohio, 74 first graders were suspended for "unwelcome sexual conduct" last year, up from 52 in 2005. In Virginia, at least 13 kindergartners have been suspended in each of the last three years for "sexual touching." Massachusetts and Maryland also note recent increases in rates of pint-size offenders. Some educational professionals are shocked that states are even collecting data about sexual harassment among children so young. "For real? I'm suddenly scared that my daughter shows her panties all the time," says Amy Rezzonico of the Arizona Department of Education ... Experts, however, say the hard-line approach is punishing normal developmental behavior. Five- and 6-year-old kids "need to touch," says Nan Stein, a senior research scientist at the Wellesley Centers for Women. "Whether it's 'show me yours and I'll show you mine' or snapping each other's clothes, let's not confuse sexual behavior with sexual harassment." Blackwell, whose attempt at explanation only baffled his son, says that Christopher is "asexual." That may have changed since the words "sexual harassment" entered his vocabulary.

22 Nov 07 - 06:40 AM (#2199816) Subject: RE: BS: woman pleads guilty of sex ed From: Emma B When is a hug "sexual harassment"? I had a poignant example of this when working as a Social Worker. A young man of 18 years with Down's syndrome moved from the chidrens' home (where he had been treated as a lovable/loving infant and exchanged rewards of hugs with his carers) to an adult sheltered environment. On his first venture into independent life he had approached a young woman on the street and unexpectedly greeted her with a warm hug; she was understandably taken aback and felt that the incident ammounted to an "assault". Finding the "right age" at which "normal" development involves touching and "sexual exploration" and where "inappropiate sexual behaviour" might even be an indication of sexual abuse is not easy as developmental rates can vary from child to child. My own personal feelings are that, for many, 11 years of age is a little young to discuss details of fellatio or sex toys unless the youngster requests information themselves having heard something in the playground or on the net. I'm not really suprised that a child of this age could be made to feel acutely uncomfortable by his mother discussing her personal sexual activities with him. |
