Growing up in the 60's was totally free and uninhibited, but naive all the same. Thank God the Aids epidemic hadn't started yet. And there must have been a lot of STD's, but I never heard anything about them. Of course, people are much more open about talking about everything these days. There are still always some questions that you just don't want to ask someone face to face. To have had this kind of information while growing up would have been great.
What were your thoughts about sex while growing up? Did your Mom talk with you or did you garner all your information from your sister or friends? And finally, how accurate was the information that you got? I find that I'm still learning lol. Gotta say, some things are fun to learn.

My mom had a talk with me at one point. I can't remember if she talked about sex or just periods! I hadn't gotten my period yet so I was under 13... I remember she asked an older friend or babysitter of mine to join us thinking that it would make things more comfortable for me. But I don't think it did.
After that, I think I got all my "info" from probably school health class and friends.
Good question! Guess I should learn a lesson and make sure my kids have all the accurate info they could want from me.
I was lucky as a kid. My mother was straight up about sex. She gave us all the facts. No holding back for her. She was a single mom and felt it was best to be truthful about all aspects of sex. She didn't want to raise anymore babies. She made sure we were prepared for everything. I'm glad she did. I'm sure I'll be the same way with my little one when the time is right. Great post!
I learned from my friends. I'm sure my boys know more then I did at a way younger age.
