THREE TIMES? |
Sex 👏🏻 Is 👏🏻 For 👏🏻 Adults 👏🏻 |
Just the first time. The second two were more of wanting more children and tolerance of the marital status quo. |
Reading books is not having sex, good grief. |
I happen to believe that deer lived a better life than the chicken or pork you bought at the grocery store. It lived wild and free and was shot quickly. It's being eaten. Stop comparing rifles or shotguns to handguns. |
If your kids are under 16 those books are inappropriate to have around. Sex is confusing to young people. I am not a gun advocate but I think guns and hunting and what is right and wrong is MUCH less confusing to a child’s mind. There is a HUGE difference between being comfortable with nudity (like Europeans supposedly are) and flat out graphic sexuality on display. |
100% this |
Notice the OP doesn’t say how old their kids are or what their opinions are. Clearly this is just a fight between her and her husband and the kids’ needs or opinions aren’t paramount. |
2 are in elementary and 1 in middle school. None of them old enough to truly be interested in adult content in books or movies. They see it in passing at best and most of the time are playing with their friends in their rooms or in the basement. |
You are thinking of yourself first, when you should instead be thinking of your kids first. You can easily put these sexual things out of sight. You are just stubbornly choosing not to. |
Stop exposing your kids. The dangers of oversexualization are much greater than the dangers of knowing the intricacies of hunting. Are you even serious? Is there any real danger in today's world and assuming you live in suburbia that your kids lives will get detailed because of hunting??? Can't say the same about porn addiction. |
Derailed not detailed |
That's where I disagree. It's the Christian fundamentalist attitudes on sex that lead to porn addiction, not a Mapplethorpe book. |
I’m really surprised your upper elementary and middle school kids haven’t weighed in with preferences. Do you not have a good relationship with them? Even a kid who wasn’t very talkative might take steps to hide explicit book covers before friends come over. Have you ever asked them what they think of it? Is DH speaking up because they complained to him? Or is the stuff not as out in the open as you made it seem?
We are really low key about sex in our house and our kid has had comprehensive sex Ed and all the kid appropriate books and high tails it out of the room if we are watching a show and the characters start kissing. Can’t stand any of that talk - says it’s cringe to watch near us. |
There is a serious porn addiction issue in this country and the world. Are you saying they are all Christian fundamentalist? Wake up. The fundamentalists stick out because they are loud and sound like hypocrites but porn addiction doesn't seem from Christianity. |
