lol-My mom was a labor and delivery and neonatal intensive care nurse, and more than once I wished she was less enthusiastic about having me know so much about where babies came from. Looking back though, I guess it was a good thing.

Those things are the experiences of most of us who grew up in other countries. North America is such a different place; a different culture. I grew up believing that sex, and what little I knew of it, was unpleasant to women and was an imposition by men. Until today, my actions in that area must seem strange to women. And I am a man who dearly enjoy female company.

I think all decent parents try to "protect" their children from biology,
which as we know now, is a big mistake. We come to our own erroneous conclusions, imagine that everyone else is on the inside and we're obviously uninformed and the object of scorn or pity. It ain't true. We're all still learning everyday, and sometimes what we learn is so ordinary dull normal boring we have to laugh about it and think of Shakespeare -- surely he was talking about sex education when he wrote "Much Ado About Nothing."

Wonder no longer my friend because most women of our generation were as you were "innocent" till their late teens... and I guess we all grew up without all those things, or most of them anyway. It was a simpler life and we were more "protected" against truths. My mother used to tell me when I started talking or rather asking her about sex and she would not want to continue that sex, like diarrhea was a natural thing but as diarrhea was not something one talked about....can you imagine? comparing sex to diarrhea loll... needless to say it did not paint a favorable image in my head loll but eventually, coming to age in the late 1960s, I learned a lot about it, if not from Mom from friends and books... but even so, when I married at 18 I was far more ignorant about the facts of life than kids now a days are at age 12. Great post!!

I loved your blog because as a Catholic male, I learned about sex at about age 19. Sure now, I had been schooled by the Presentation Brothers of Ireland in Montrèal of course. I'm the father of 5 and still not sure how they got here or even where they all are now.
Now let me point out to you that something is not right about the way you have posted your blog luv, because if you look at the bottom of the page you will see that it can be deleted or edited or changed by somebody else because after those words of EDIT DELETE DELETE THIs ENTIRE BLOG, one can find the "Make a Comment" which is correct.
So I would suggest that you go back to 'WRITE' then to 'EDIT' and you will be able to get rid of the parts that shouldn't be there.
But you sure write a good blog.

I grew up without the same things you mentioned! I had to entertain myself and feel I am the better for it! As for sex, it is a mega mystery to me still! sam
