My parents got divorced when I was young and I lived with my dad, but the idea is the same. I learned everything I know from trial and error. Now that I have my daughter, who is now only one, I plan to keep these lines of communication open. I don't want her to grow up thinking she's a freak for having asymmetrical labia or that sex is always perfect and romantic the first time or any other misconceptions I grew up with. In fact, the very reason I have my daughter - not that I would want it any other way, now - is because my parents and I don't have this communication and I was not on birth control. I didn't know condoms weren't always effective! But my girl will be more educated and have a much better sex life from the get go - but not until she's 30! I also agree.

Every time my mother and I even veer toward the topic of my sex life, she wails, "NO! DON'T TELL ME! I'LL GO BLIIIIND! MY EARS WILL BLEEEED!" Now, I know she's being silly, but the sentiment is real: she doesn't want to hear about it. Even when the topic is sexual health (as in, "Mom, my pap was abnormal...here's what the doc thinks it is") as opposed to sexual-having (as in, "Mom, my fiance won't stop humping my leg every time we're not eating or asleep"). And like you, I don't blame her - she's fabulous. It's just the stigma that has been attached to sex for so long. I agree wholeheartedly with you!
