[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any particular insight, OP, that stood out to you?[/quote]

-Despite the pop culture sex onslaught that young girls currently face, parents and mothers are failing their daughters by neither educating nor empowering. 
-Many parents discuss female anatomy with their daughters, skipping everything between the navel and knees.
[b]-Girls are not taking a stand for themselves sexually nor fighting for "sexual satisfaction equality."[/b]
-The definitions of "hooking up" and "losing virginity" are fluid. While girls aren't losing their virginity in a traditional sense at a much higher rate, what is happening in the virtual world, be it through Skype, etc., is far more psychologically damaging.

One takeaway for me: If our tween girls don't know what their clitoris is (educating/discussing all girl body parts) and don't know that masturbating (self-empowerment) is both healthy and normal, then we are doing them a great disservice. How many moms here have broached either topic at all?[/quote]

This is very interesting to me and a good point. [/quote]
