Non-descriptive?!? Fuck that. I really don't want my kids getting suckered into doing things because they never heard of it, straight, gay or bi (got a bi daughter). If the first time they ever heard the terms "anal sex," "bob job," "tossing salad," or the like was in the back seat of little Johnny's car on a Friday night then I failed as a parent. My job (at their current ages) is to prepare them for the world, not protect them from it. Well, mostly anyway. No dad ever truly quits protecting his babies. My kids have heard of more sex stuff (not graphically, but descriptively) than most hookers and know more names for cocks and pussies than most 22-year old sailors. They're also both unbelievers! One a self proclaimed atheist, the other a self proclaimed agnostic that doesn't "really know what I believe, but I'm pretty sure it's not that."
Same goes for drugs/alcohol, the real world of working for a living, how some guys are just plain assholes and some girls are just fucking cunts. I tossed the taboo out on it's ass a long time ago.
George Carlin is an educational tool in my house!
While I'm quoting this for truth, I meant non-descript terms in terms of gender. Like I will always use "person" instead of just "girl or guy." The former does not presume your child is straight. Or am I completely off base?

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
