Curosity Killed the Cat...

So...............I had a very interesting conversation (or rather she was talking and I was listening) with a co-worker that is worth blogging...

A co-worker of mine, who is a grandmother of a few, informed me of an interesting conversation that took place at her house the evening before. It seems that her son's sons, who are eleven and twelve years old, confronted their father about oral sex (which they heard about at school). The father was so upset that his children would ask him such a thing that he put them in the car and drove them to his mother's house (my co-worker) and told them to tell their grandmother what they said to him. So, the boys were like, "Grandma, what's oral sex?" Now, what I expected to come after that was completely different from what actually happened. She said she sat them down and explained to them, in serious detail, what oral sex is...she told them all about the "finger test"; told them that "if you get down there and it doesn't smell right, don't trust it"; told them exactly what to do to make the girl happy, and then proceeded to give both of them condoms and told them to keep them on them at all times. So, of course I'm sitting there HORRIFIED at what I'm hearing. She explained that she would rather them feel comfortable getting the information from a "valuable source" rather than getting it off the street and that she wants them to feel like they can ask anything and receive an honest answer from family....after all her explaining one of the grandsons asked her if she has oral sex...WHO ASKS THEIR GRANDMOTHER THAT QUESTION????

Now, this is where I ask the reader: Is it acceptable to tell children the details of sex and provide them with suggestions and equipment in this day in time? I mean, has the world really gotten to the point where it is just FINE to sit down eleven and twelve year old boys and give them detailed descriptions of sexual encounters in the name of being open and honest? I mean, is that REALLY OK???? Do children need to have all their curiosities answered when they want them answered? What ever happened to "Sex is something that happens between married couples....THE END and don't ask me again or I'll beat your ass...you are a child and shouldn't be concerned with adult topics...go ride your bike!" What happened to that time cause it did exist back in the day...
