I have two almost grown daughters...
24 and 19... we've been talking about sex since no. 1 daughter watched me have daughter #2. She was four at the time. It was all quite natural. She is happily married now to a great young man who has earned his master's in high school Math. She is one year into her master's in Early Education. Both are level headed, motivated, happy, and I'm very very relieved and happy too. Daughter #2 is still living at home and in college. She has a boy friend and so far both are doing well and on the mark. Just be there for them and be open and honest about sex.

In my opinion the earlier and better kids get sex education the better...
Hopefully with a proper system of educating about sex and talking about it in a mature and sensible environment will stop the taboo that currently surrounds it making kids desperate to get in on the act.
And by the way - 21degrees and I'm sunbathing!

I remember
the letter about sex education. It shocked me too but then I was always under the illusion at school that belly buttons were important.

My wife is a reading teacher and when she comes home and explains her
day I wonder who is teaching who, like the kid whose father takes him to Montreal every weekend to see his stripper girlfriend, or who which crackhead, mommy is sleeping with. Society can't get any lower in the gutter.
