[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was 17, I learned that people have sex for reasons besides having children. I did not grow up sheltered in the least and I’ve known how sex works since I was five. However, I am asexual and am on the autism spectrum. [/quote]
I am a middle school teacher. This reminds me of the time I overheard some of my sixth graders talking and they thought the same thing. They were going around the table revealing how many times their parents had sex based on how many children in the family. There was an only child in the group ("Oh! Your parents only had sex one time.") but also a kid with five kids in his family ("Oh my GOD! Your parents had sex FIVE times!!")[/quote]

I was the kid who got in trouble for blowing up this myth in 5th grade when I said something like, "it's only for adults and it sounds gross, but apparently it's also fun and a bonding experience." I also included that you didn't have to be married to do it unless that was something you chose, you could have sex with anyone, but they should be someone who respects you. [/quote]

I was a junior counselor once on a bus field trip where two little boys (maybe second grade age?) were going around telling all the kids "your parents did it", and "your parents did it", and they got to a girl who had an older sister, also on the bus, and said "and your parents did it twice!", at which point the older sister turned around and said, from the front of the bus.  "For your information, my parents have done it way more than twice, because sometimes they do it and it doesn't work, and sometimes they don't even want it to work, they just do it for fun!  I bet your parents do it for fun too!"  Those little boys turned so red.  It was quite amusing to 14 year old me.  [/quote]
