Ain't that the truth. I laugh at how so many...not all...seem to forget how they bullshitted their parents when they were young.Just so you know, kids bullshit their elders' brains out about such matters.
;-)
It isn't unusual for girls to begin puberty at 10. With the heavy sexualization of women in our society, it only makes sense to begin more serious sexual education around that age.
I think about a family I am very familiar with. The parents are my age, they have 3 fabulous daughters. They knew they did everything "right" to raise "good" girls. Church, strong academics, fairly conservative politics...the whole deal. All three of these daughters today are married and are all mothers themselves. One is a published author, one a dancer, choreographer and dance teacher and the other a marine biologist. They can only be called successful in their careers and marriages. As they became friends with their parents, they divulged a different tale. They were all hellraisers and each one lost their virginity at 14. No...that is not 12, but it will arrive quickly.
I'm always interested in the answers to a few questions when this debate comes up: I'm not afraid to answer them.
1. When did you lose your virginity? Did it happen the first time you thought about it?
For me, 17...and hell no. Got very close at 14. Was on the verge for nearly a year in 10th and 11th grade. About halfway through Senior year...
2. Did your parents talk to you about such matters?
No. They left that up to my older sister and Playboy.
