[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 695472, member: 1233"] I am so sorry your father and husband both had such horrible first experiences. I don't understand why it isn't seen as rape if a boy is 14 and the women are adults, esp if it is not the boy's choice. I truly cannot wrap my brain around it. For years my difficult older brother swore that if he had a son, he would take him to a brothel at age 14 or 15 to 'learn about sex right'. I told him it was sick and twisted to do that, but he thought it was enlightened and being a good parent. He now has a daughter who is almost 13. I wonder if his opinions have changed any? We haven't talked about it in a long time. I cringe at your balance beam experience. I know how much that hurts from experience. I took gymnastics for a couple of years. Of course I wasn't great at it, but I liked it. I also had remedial gym at age 5 because I was so clumsy, but it was a great experience and got me to try gymnastics. But OUCH those balance beam falls just hurt for days/weeks! Your mother had a very healthy outlook, as mine did. I can remember my mother doing many things that seemed small at the time to me but looking back were huge. Like not making me hug one particular great aunt. I was 15 when I learned why she creeped me out, but as early as age 2 I can remember not wanting her anywhere near me, esp not to hug me. It really angered her too. She was of the opinion that if she wanted to hug me, well, it was my duty to let her. My mother wouldn't have any of it. My mom stressed the "you will be taking care of any babies that come from sex, so be sure you are old enough to handle one if you have sex". I think that played a substantial part in my waiting until I was almost 20 to have sex. I just wasn't ready and I knew it. I am glad I waited, because 2 of my kids were born in spite of using 2 methods to prevent them! [/QUOTE]
