Any Anti-Sex Ed Survivors

[Yaoi Huntress Earth]

In relation to the post at the current events section about Abstance
people going after adults, I was curious if any of you went through
that anti-sex mind-fucking as a kid\teen and how did it affect you?

For me, my parents were pretty decent about the whole sex ed thing.
They didn't use fear and I knew about reproduction around the age of
six. Everything else was either dull mechanincs and graphic
descriptions of VDs in school or horror stories everywhere else.
Nearly all the first time stories resulted in the girl (it was almost
always a girl) either getting rejected, pregnant, and\or a VD. While
it helped keep me on the straight and narrow, it kind of screwed me up
in the long term. It makes you afraid to get into relationships as
you get older and combine it with horniness, it can make you miserable.

I never went through religious teachings or religious schools or
religious upbringings even, even if my mom was a mormon. I can't say I
know much about being raised a fundie.

When I was about 11 and my brother and sister were about 9 my mother
sat us down with a book she'd got from somewhere and gave us the whole
'birds and the bees' thing. After that we were pretty much left to
ourselves. We all turned out okay, And I think our lack of religious
indoctrination had a lot to do with it. We grew up going to church
because it was simply a social thing, but once we entered our teens my
parents let us make our own decisions about what to do on a Sunday
morning. Having a ravine and a creek nearby made the decision easy -
get out and play!

Say; now that Sen. Mark Foley is out of a job, perhaps he should become
a sex-ed instructor. On second thought, bad idea...never mind.
