[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why do you feel compelled to explain another couple's sex life to your child? [/quote]I can't answer for the PP but I know that children are very astute and ask questions when they see things differently from how they are raised.  And that includes everything from why is the sky blue to how come Mary's skin is darker than mine.  Did it ever occur to you , OP, that it might be confusing for a child seeing two women kiss intimately or even caught in a moment of sexual intimacy?  My child has walked in on my spouse and I and, yes, it became a teaching moment.

If PP has taught her child about intimacy in one way and then she/he sees something different, the child is going to ask for explanation.  I totally agree with PP.  Straight intimacy is hard enough to explain and then have to explain gay intimacy IF necessary.  And, yes, we no longer learn about sex from the locker room.  I applaud PP for teaching her child about BOTH sides if the questionos were asked.  So, I think, in answer to your response, that maybe she felt compelled to explain it.  Who better to give an explanation than someone you trust?[/quote]

I am the PP you're responding to, but not the OP.

I have never thought it was necessary to explain the sex lives of other people. [b]To each their own[/b]. [/quote]What you think and what the PP may have found necessary to do are two different things.  It's not about you.[/quote]

I think you missed an important sentence. [/quote]
