I am totally comfortable with who I am and my sexuality. But people be it hetrosexual, gay, lesbians, bisexuals… all are very shy about it.
Maybe it is a universal thing?

My Lovely Spouse and I have a 6 year old son and it would have been very easy to fall into the whisper, don’t talk about it mode with him. But we just jumped right in when he and the same age neighbor girl started getting interested about private parts.

When he was about 3 he told me that he was very interested in Suzie’s private parts and I said “well, that’s normal, even grownups are interested in private parts but kids, kids should be out having fun . . . he said, but Mommy – it is fun!”

We have a little game with him to encourage him to want to go to college. Anytime he wants to eat candy for breakfast, stay up late . . . we tell him, you can do that when you get to college. So one evening he and Suzie wanted to take a bath together and we told them that they were getting a little too old for that. He said, “Don’t worry Suzie, we can do that when we get to college.”

We’ve had lots of talks about private parts and intimacy and the emotions that go with intimacy but when we’ve tried to explain why it’s a bad idea for him and Suzie to do the private part thing, it really is a little hard to explain since he comes back with “but we’re the same age.” So finally I told him the truth. “Here is the truth. You will never get in trouble with Mommy for doing the private part thing because it’s a normal thing to want to do and it can be very fun but grown ups have found out that it’s something that you should wait to do until you’re a grown up and while Mom and Mommy won’t freak out if we find out you’re not able to resist the temptation – Suzie’s father will skin you alive because other parents are freaks about the issue just like your grandparents were.” We’ve explained sex changes, gay “bears,” tampons, drag queens . . . things I thought I would never be able to discuss with him and we found out . . . it really is no big deal. Of course, like all men, when I started to explain a tampon to him – he quickly got the glazed look on his face and excused himself from the conversation.

I’m so happy that he’s not going to grow up with the feeling that sex, intimacy, his body . . . are dirty in some way.

And yes, the “sex is dirty” idea is a religion thing. Christianity (and most of the other religions for that matter) have condemned sexuality to be “dirty”, “inappropriate”. It’s something bad, that you do because you’re a sinner and a bad person, and you have to hide from the others. Religion is great in making people feel guilty, isn’t it…
