Ok I went to my son's open house last night for school (he is in the 6th grade just for reference) we sat down and listened to his Health teacher talk which is pretty smart for the most part. My only objection is that she blames the media for the kids delusions about sexuality. and though I admit that it's a little glamorized I don't think it's the cause for the misconceptions. Actually i think the media has the idea of it mostly dead on. I blame religion on the misconceptions about sex since it's so taboo and lie to their kids about the truth.. his teacher was saying that last year a 6th grader came in and still thought a baby came out of the bellybutton or under a cabbage leaf or a stork. Now as for myself I have always been directly open about sex, even in my theist days, (no wonder I never got along with anyone at church..lol) and even now he has no ambition to have sex, but if that time did come up we have built up that bond of trust and comfort to be able to talk about it. So whats your opinion is it media or religion that is the cause for kid's misconceptions about sex?
