FollowCraig: “SEX” secrets?

…thanks for following….

Now that I have your attention, let’s talk about this, Ok?American Baby Boomers” have a very difficult time with the word “SEX” My family never spoke of it, my church told me it was bad and my friends giggled about it! Perhaps that’s why the word draws so much attention? We all know what it is and yet we are afraid or ashamed to speak about “it”. In my personal life journey this very subject was always a silent secret taboo; in my life, my wife’s life, my children’s life, my whole family life! Now as I look back over time, what a stupid thing to be so quiet about. I’m just wondering if any of you were raised to not talk about “it”? I’m a very open-minded, liberal thinking man. My standards are in place and I respect the choices people make about their relationships. This was not ever difficult for me as I have really never been one to judge, that is not by job! It worries me though that we in this America still wish to keep this subject a “secret taboo”. I will share this; had my family been more open, honest and revealing about the topic of “SEX”, my adult life would have been so much easier. When we teach our children about secrets by keeping things secret and our children learn about secrets in a very secret way, the circle is never broken. “Secrets then become habits.” So, what habits do we each keep secret and why? What habits should be broken?

I’m still writing, you’re still reading, so just keep following….

  1. Times have changed dramatically from when we were growing up. In fact in some cases they are on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Today’s dialogue may be TO open. I have a friend that was allowing her 18 yr old son to have sleep overs with his 17 yr old girlfriend. After I explained the Arizona law on statutory rape she quickly became less liberal. The clothing has become more provocative in our schools and again where is the parenting? Our children are learning a tremendous amount on the internet and most of it comes with instuctional videos..i.e. pornography. See my article The Cyber Socialization Of Our Children.
