My mother and father were very open people when I was a child. Not so much anymore. I was born in the early 80s so my parents were the turn hippies, the babies of the boomers. My parents were alive and kicking during the "sexual revolution". I have a vivid memory of myself asking my parents where do babies come from at 4 years old. And my flower child mom pulled out a 300 level college text book on sexual education and psychology that she had for her own knowledge and began teaching me from this book. By the end of the lesson I had learned that not all men had the same shaped penis and that not all women's breast looked the same. But, most importantly, I knew in detail where babies came from. She saw that the college text book was above my capacity at 4 years old and the next day I received a book called the truth about sex. This book I referred to a lot as I grew up and absolutely showed all my friends. This book discussed puberty, body development, sexual abuse, masturbation, sexual relationships, teen pregnancy and its consequences, as well as planned pregnancy. A really good book for any young person with questions. My mother read this book to me when I was not able to myself. Question: What do you want to do once you have taken drivers education? Drive, right. So once I received my sexual education I wanted to have sex. I did not pursue it actively as a teenage boy all day everyday, but I would find myself on play dates and through conversation I would ask girls to attempt sexual acts with me. All we ever did was lay on top of each other. The mechanics of sex were still not fully clear. I made attempts a lot growing up. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 all with no success. Each attempt at sex was not pre planned, just opportunities that came up, being alone in a room unsupervised. About 10 years old I actually began masturbation and had my first fluid producing orgasm at 11 years old. About 12 is when girls got there full sexual education and the fear of pregnancy was installed in them. That is when the opportunities I spoke of were no more. Which was for the best. People that young do not need to have sex. It distorts their ideas of what is love and what is not. I think a lot of people practiced sex as children until they became more mature and realized that sex is not something you just do with anybody anytime.
