Will the puppets have body parts? Can we just strip Barbie? Kens package wasn't right, though.

No. Barbie and Ken are not realistic expectations of human body.

There are life size dolls that can aid in the teaching of various functions and such.

Of course while explaining the process and mechanics of sex, you must be sure to inform the child of likely, shall we say, distractions, that might arise.

Or not.

Leg cramps do happen.

No one likes it when your on their hair.

And sometimes, it just isn't going to work.

I bet. I haven't seen a lot of nude people in my life so I can understand that! Unless you count babies. I've seen a LOT of naked babies.

You had to get used to it. $25 an hour! Bet its a $100 now.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Yes it is $100 an hour. DD was a model in college for the art classes.

We are naked people in our house. No big deal to run to the laundry room naked to grab something, etc. Not nudists, but we aren't ashamed of the naked body either. The kids covered up as they got older but neither of them are prudish when it comes to nudity.

Oh ... DS will get plenty of sex ed from me. DH is somewhat shy about sex ed so his job will be explaining the changes DS is going through once puberty hits. I have zero problem using proper terminology so I'll likely be the one explaining about sex and how babies get here.

Reading about the misconceptions kids get re sex ed reminded me of the doozy my ex told his daughter. She came to me crying one day all upset about getting her period some day. I told her it's no big deal, every woman gets one (barring a medical condition), it's a part of puberty, and I'll be happy to take her shopping and get her what she needs for it. She said she doesn't want to get pregnant. I told her she can avoid pregnancy by not having sex. She then said that her dad said that she will get pregnant once she gets her period. After I picked my jaw off the floor, I asked her what all her dad told her and corrected most of it as he was dead wrong.

Yep. The child thought getting her period caused pregnancy. Not that it could happen if she has sex. But that it literally causes pregnancy. As in she would get pregnant right when the first drop of period blood left her body. To say she was relieved when I told her that periods don't equal pregnancy would be an understatement.

I knew my ex was stupid (he also thought tuna wasn't a fish because it came from a can) but that took the cake.

There's no reason to be ashamed of our bodies. God made us and left us nude in the garden. He only created clothes for Adam and Eve because they were ashamed of their nudity, not because He was offended by it. That's something the Puritans never understood.

We aren't nudists in my home either, but, like you, if we are going to the shower, or need something from the laundry room, and haven't put on anything, we don't worry about it. The human body is nothing to be ashamed of.

After living in Japan for 2 years and enjoying the public baths, nudity (among women) does not phase me.
