Sex Talk? Yes please.

This week, we got close and personal.  Thats right kids, the sex talks dont stop in middle school. They continue on, if your lucky, through college.  Its kind of nice too, because more than half of that class is married I feel like so there's just no shame bringing up the topic.  Im not anywhere close to marriage, I think atleast... however I feel like weve been talking all about the dirty in a lot of my classes.  I'm really grateful actually.  We were talking about when we first got the sex talk... was it at home, from some friends, sex ed in school.  Let's be honest. I think sex ed was the first time I even heard about sex.  I think perhaps because i was the firts kid in the family, my parents didnt really know how to go about it.  Im super open with my parents on a lot of things, but sex wasnt one of them.  I wasnt getting into mischief that i think they just kinda skipped the subject and moved onto other things.  Of course in middle school and high school i was so down with that.  Last thing i wanted was my parents to sit me down and give me "the talk" however i look back now and i think, who even cares! Wish i had had it.  I think the unspoken law about the subject was just, "if you have questions, ask us." Well, turns out that that was the same unspoken rule in everyone's house about in my class.  But none of us ever took our questions to our parents because we were to uncomfortable about it!

Now i guess i just think about it, i wish someone had just taken the initiative to inform me.  Now, its whatever.  But i feel very uninformed for my age.  Its not so uncomfortable to talk about now.  Last thing i want to be is "uninformed" and "unprepared" for the wedding night.  I think its important that we talk to our kids about this stuff, im not blaming my parents for not really doing so.  However, i think its important that we approach the subject with our kids and help them understand that its not something gross, wrong or scary.  That this is a big part of heavenly father's plan for us. And its something sacred.  If we treat it as such with our kids hopefully they wont be grossed out and understand that its something very important to Heavenly Father, which is why we talk about it the way that we do.
