[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sleepovers allow girls to explore their non-binary sexuality with each other in a safe environment; the key ingredient is to provide privacy.  Much less common occurrence with boys.[/quote]

I didn't have this experience at all. I slept over at someone's house or they at mine almost every weekend growing up. Nothing like this ever happened. We made popcorn, watched movies or tv, did our nails, played games, it was all good clean fun.[/quote]

Yeah, same...

I LOVED sleepovers for a lot the reasons mentioned: fun, got to see how other families lived, got to know the parents better (other adults in your kids life can be a good thing), try new cooking/meals we didn't make in our house.  But at night- that is when you would have deep conversations, eat a bag of hershey's kisses, watch movies, experiment with makeup and hair...that is the kind of stuff we did. [b] Nothing sexual- at all. [/b]

My kids do them regularly with one close family.  But my kids also go to sleep-away camp for the summer too.  Kids getting out from under their own parents 24/7 is a good thing.  [/quote]

Times have changed. Sure plenty of sleepovers are non-sexual still, but yes, girls especially will experiment with eachother as teens. It's way more common these days then it was in our day. Not saying everyone does it, but you can no longer assume it won't happen. This is the generation that is into the whole fluid sexuality stuff.[/quote]

The school FLE actively encourages kids who are curious to try same-sex exploration now.

Things have certainly changed.[/quote]
