How do you come across the idea of sex and when?
|
I was seven at the time. Thankfully it was nothing scarring, such as walking in on my parents or something but we were watching a comedy show and a character made a joke about periods which I didn't understand. I asked my mother and she explained everything quite calmly.

If you could talk to your parents about sex in general, would you?

Christ no. They are so uncomfortable around the subject themselves, let alone the embarrasment I would feel talking about it. The closest we ever got to the subject was when I was interested in certain punky types of clothing and my mother remarked, "It's bad enough that you're having sex, just don't have kinky sex."

If you HAD talked to your parents about sex before, is it helpful?
|
Well I'd had it explained to me but I never really had any questions about it if that's what you mean. I never needed to ask anything (not that she told me everything; that's a journey of discovery within teenage years), but what she told me anyway was helpful. Even if schools decided to help us learn about it anyway.

Feel free to share your experiences here and ask questions as well to continue the discussion.

What I'm quite curious about is how far sex education goes in the rest of the world. Over here, at the age of 14 I had a sex education lesson where we were taught how to use a condom and given leaflets on the nearest family planning clinics and the pill. Who thinks that's more of a hinderance than a help?

Do you take your friends' experiences at sex with a grain of salt? Or do you let it influence your decisions about sex in general later in your own relationships?
|
Sometimes I do, but only recently. A few of my friend's experiences seem rather far-fetched, and I would never take advice off someone who prides themselves on being a whore. It's just a stupid way to go about the whole business. I never let honest friend's experiences influence me however because I was the first of all of us to have a sexual experience and I've seen a hell of a lot more than they'd ever think of anyway. I don't want anyone else to influence the way I see sex.

Is your religion a HUGE reason why sex part of the discussion between you and your bf/gf is so prohibited? Or is it the opposite?
|
I have no religion, unless you're of the school that believes athiesm to be a religion of its own. It is no reason to hold me back in a sexual relationship.

How do you view your LOVER (ie not husband) masturbating?
|
Fine by me. Admittedly we're in a long distance relationship but the thought of him pleasuring himself whilst I'm not there has never really bothered me, even when we could see each other every few days. He has always held the same thougths for me, even if I don't.

how do you feel about a woman finding pleasure with herself?
|
I may not be partial to this myself but a lot of my friends do, openly. Whatever floats your boat. Masturbation can reduce stress amongst other things. From the boyfriends of those who have them, I gather they actually quite like the idea.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
