Your parents rock, btw.Southern Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543829492705705208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156391294580796335.post-7655852382371780382011-02-11T12:18:25.789-05:002011-02-11T12:18:25.789-05:00My parents were totally open with sex. I don'...My parents were totally open with sex. I don't ever remember having the talk, I just always knew that when a man and a woman really loved each other and respected one another, you may have the desire for your bodies to be connected as one. With the wrong person, this will feel disgusting and wrong, with the right person it will be wonderful. And the right person won't even balk at a condom or waiting, because he loves and respects you. A man who questions or gets mad at you does NOT respect you and does NOT deserve the opportunity to make his body one with yours.<br /><br />I lost my virginity when I was 18, to the dude I ended up marrying. After I lost it I ran to a pay phone to call my mom. Now as a parent I bet she was in hysterics after that call, but at the time she told me she was happy for me, ensured I used a condom, and said she would make an appt with the gynecologist to get birth control so I could have control over my body.<br /><br />I also knew they had sex, often my dad would come home from work and my mom would go upstairs with my dad to "chat" while he got "changed out of his work clothes" while my sister and I played in the basement. They kissed and such in front of us and I always wondered about parents who didn't do that - how did they end up having children?<br /><br />Last night I mentioned to K about this, my parents "doing it" while I was in the house and he was utterly disgusted. I said we do it now, I hope we do it ten years from now.Alison at Wardrobe Oxygenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891869859939786737noreply@blogger.com
