    Default French bring sex education into the open

    There is a exhibit in Paris now that features artwork of love and sex among teens. The idea is to provide a way for parents to discuss sex education with their kids.

    I would take my boy's to that, just to find out if there was anything I had not covered. Although I doubt it. I have probably covered more then that exhibit does.

    Unfortunately though I don't see it coming to America any time soon, this country is to hung up on sex and to scared to talk about it.

    My husband and I have decided that we will discuss sex with our daughter when she gets curious enough to ask. Don't want to confuse her before that.

    If you wait until they ask, it may be too late.

    Good idea, that's what we did (are doing) with our kids.

    At first we explained it in a broad, babies come from mommies tummies sort of way. As they get older I get more specific.

    No martin, the problem is that - speaking in a highly generalised manner - America is conflicted on sex. I put it down to America's Puritan beginnings - no kidding, I really do. The hyper-sexualisation is only in some sectors, in other sectors there's a fear of sex. The fear drives the hyper-sexualisation. Look at Victorian England. They were so prudish that they covered the legs of tables. But meanwhile the Queen's son was out banging everything that moved (and some that didn't move, they just lay back and thought of England) and especially in London the sexual underworld was festering, a playground for the stiff upper-lipped aristocracy.

    As for virtue - read Aristotle, he had a few wise words on it.

    actually you have probably already started teaching her about it. You know the good touch, bad touch thing.

    so basically they are going to put pornography on display for children. great idea...
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin
