FWIW, we have had no difficulty or discomfort discussing sexuality, sex,
lifestyles anything. Having caregivers in the home you would be stunned at the
amount of misinformation out there and we want to be the ones teaching, not
half
truths and lies among mis-informed peers. Heck, both Nichole and Doug's aides
suffer from much incorrect information on sex and look at me sideways when we
have spoken openly about medically correct facts on things from transmission of
STDs AIDS and more...

I am glad that your mother is progressive enough to discuss it with you. I
really have a hard time understanding why it is so difficult for parents to
talk to their children about sex. Honestly, if they ask why we sneeze does
that cause any awkwardness? It's just another topic that we all need to
learn about and we will all learn about it whether parents like it or not.

Not that it's necessarily the correct thing to do but mama and I have
often read books together especially if there was some questionable

family has always loved books. My uncle is a writer and reads all the
time my aunt reads a lot and my cousins right and read as well
particularly the girls in California.
