The Birds and Bees Talk

[Typical Charlie]

As we often say, you can post direct to this group by becoming a member. People who are in situations that are better kept completely anonymous, can post to the moderators at UniqueO...@inbox.com

This is the group where we post to the public. The inner group, where we post to each other, is at Unique Opinions.

The moderators decide who is allowed to be a member of both groups, and which posts are allowed through. I'm the owner and I can overrule the moderators but that's pretty rare.

I tend to think we should post less about incest in the public group and more about general subjects.

Someone posted to me this morning, instead of Unique Opinions, saying:

These days, by the time a girl gets The Talk from her parents about "the Birds and the Bees" - it's too late! She already knows! See the attached illustration.

Today we received an email from Mary G. saying she liked the post on the birds and bees, and that she was sending us something interesting she found on the net. Here it is:

-----------------------------------------

Take a look at photograph number 1. That’s a Catholic high school girl who was taught abstinence. Her boyfriend of two years was taught the same.

That’s me at 18.

Behind that chair, under that gown was my secret. My son. We had tried to be abstinent. But we rolled in the hay. We were so anxious we tore my dress getting it off.

I knew people in town would judge me, treat me like I was the town whore. Some did actually point, stare, or sneer. The receptionist at the ob/gyn office rudely asked me, "You married?" every single time I went in for an appointment. As if a wedding ring would put a halo back on my head.

I was not the town whore. Blane and I had been dating for two years. We had a plan. Wait until we were married. Go to college first, then get hitched and roll in the hay.

That is a long period of abstinence. But we were strong. We could beat nature.

That is what we thought. But nature beat us.

We did get married after Blane Jr. was born. We both finished college. We are still married. Our only scandal was this one, the pregnant teenager thing.

Now see photograph number 2.

That is my mom hiding a rip in her dress. She was told by her mother not to mess up that dress because they were taking school photos that day. That's what she tells me anyway. I got the full story from my Uncle. There was a reason she ripped her dress, and it had to do with my Uncle. And a certain amount of hay.

She taught me what she had been taught by her parents and the church. Abstinence. Until the moment abstinence no longer seemed important. Poor woman. But hey, she also taught loyalty and fidelity and tolerance. So let’s give her some cred here.

I guess this Jamie Spears thing has me spitting nails. People bad mouthing her, her mother, and I doubt anyone who says all these things actually know them.

I’m not angry about it because I was a pregnant teenager and got treated so harshly.

I am angry because of what happened to another girl from my high school around the same time as my ordeal. Here is how she dealt with her situation: She went into a field and blew her brains out.

So people should stop the name-calling. Instead of criticizing and calling these girls and their moms “trailer park trash” take a walk in their shoes. Maybe you’ll think of some kind of way to be helpful. Spears may do just fine. She works, is ambitious, is sacrificing a promising career to raise her baby – and - she probably pays more in taxes than you earn in the entire year.

Some people think that abstinence almost always results in babies, because you can't keep making that decision over and over while you're hot to trot in your boyfriend's arms. I just think that if you make the decision while you're calm, just remember that you're not going to keep making it while you're aroused with passion and aflame with love and desire. As females, there's a point at which our sexual natures take over, and any previous decision-making just slips away. And is quickly forgotten.
