Question

To deny our basic instincts as people is to deny ourselves, and its an inexcusable . We are primarily sexual beings .
Speaking from the experience of having three boys, infants find there genitalia at about six months old because they get a sensation from playing with them they continue to play until the primary carer shows them a different way (Whats is appropriate behaviour.)
Unfortunately we parents have issues with embarrassment and with our own sexual hangups probably imposed by our parents .
For people to talk about it and agree what is the best course of action to teach children whats normal sexual behaviour within society and within the confines of our bedrooms.
I believe its essential that parents pool there experiences so we have a formula to create a stable adult with a healthy sex live that harms none. Denying we are sexual beings is sticking our head in the sand.
I believe all religions breed sexual perversions with their nonacceptance of a large part of who we are as human beings. We all came from a sexual encounter..... (not test tube or IV obviously ). Parental classes that tackle these issues and let the wider society know whats what would be tackling the wider issues in society at the roots.
Unfortunate for some religious doctrine equates sex with the devil as his temptation to man . I'm deeply offended by this as god loves he doesn't hate he gave us the ability to make love which is a precious gift indeed.
Man has to deal with the issues he has created himself.
Its no great surprise to anyone that religion has a shameful record of perversion and violence attached, its not just power hungry men that have started wars in this world. Perhaps when we tackle this issue in society at the infant level,then perhaps we can start dealing with the larger issues of blatant commercialism of women by men in modern

Answer 1

yes no maybe so

Answer 2

You raise some interesting ideas, however, although I agree that we are all sexual beings, I don't agree that we are "primarily" sexual beings. Sexuality is just a part of who we are. I'd like to believe we are more than our sex organs. Much more. As for teaching infants, I think you can go ahead and try to start early, but obviously, an infant cannot grasp what sexuality is, they only know what feels good or bad. And just because something feels good does not mean it's ok to do it. I'm not saying an infant or young child touching itself is bad, just that it's up to the individual parent to teach its child what is appropriate, i.e., masturbation in private vs in public. Getting a group of parents to agree on a such a standard will be next to impossible. There are too many variable factors to consider like the parent's culture and religious beliefs (good or bad). But overall, I agree with the spirit of what you say.

Answer 3

First off, it's too long to be a question.
Secondly: If you're serious, do you walk around naked in-front of your sons? I would be concerned that as a parent, you don't show more restraint. There are acceptable levels of sexuality. To suggest otherwise is not only irresponsible but confusing to children.
Children don't get their social behavior clues only from their parents, but from society in general. Media, peers, extended family members, other persons of authority...etc.
As a parent it is out duty to find what is socially acceptable as well as personally acceptable. Without direction children will learn behaviors that we as parents cannot control and thus can and will undoubtedly have negative affects on the rest of the family unit and the child him/herself later in life.

There is a thin line between sexual freedom and not instilling sexual perversion on our children.

I believe in open discussion between children and their parents with the parents leading the discussion to what is most age appropriate for the child at the time. To keep those lines of communication open at all times, to not give a child conflicting information and to tell the child if we actuality do not know something that we will be glad to continue a discussion after we, ourselves have found out correct information.

Answer 4

i agree with educating our kids.. my parents never taught me anything about sex, love, or even socializing. i didn't even know how to ask a girl out on a date until i had taken communication courses in college, as well as human sexuality courses.

i think it is very important for families to be open and honest with their kids.. heck, i'd rather see a parent teach a 14 yr old how to masturbate instead of seeing that 14 yr old come home pregnant from a boy at school..

religion is a major problem.. they preach one thing, yet i'm always reading in the news about sexual abuse of children by religious leaders..

i'm not very religious, but i do sort of believe in the concept of God.

and if God really didn't want us to experience orgasms, then he wouldn't have invented them in the first place!

Answer 5

very interesting, the main ideas seem to remind me of the sociologist/psychologist Des Morris who wrote 'the human zoo' and 'the naked ape'
your point looks into how we as sexual animals have trouble with our wild simple roots because of the restrictions imposed upon ourselves by society/religeon... which to an extent are controled by eachother. these restrictions are imposed by ourselves so that we can get by in a community that consists not of hundreds that we are built for, but of millions, something that we as a species have not evolved to live in.

Answer 6

There is a right way and a wrong way to deal with our sexuality.
Since God made us and it was for a sacred purpose to create other human life. Life is sacred.
So the proper way is to get married and don't be depriveing each other of sex. But to mess around is hurtful and painful.
To have sex with out marriage is unwanted babies and painful breakfups. Sexually transmitted diseases.
I am a firm believer in sex education and birth control.
They should be taught just because you can have a baby doesn't mean you should. Some young people have babies way to young.

Answer 7

first off there r test tube and IV babies so lets not go too overboard
Other than that this is verrrrrrrrrry deep and needs some serious thought even though i tend to agree with u in general

Answer 8

This would have been an axcellent dissertation had you left out the very last sentence which revealed your own biases for which you condem those of religious persuation. Alas I guess we are all human, you included.

Answer 9

I agree but i don't agree.
Teaching children /infant level is silly.
Teaching them what should be done in private. their own bed rooms makes sense.
But as it is been said and believed... It is a natural thing .
masturbating.

Answer 10

Yes

Answer 11

It took you a thousand words to say you want to teach sex ed to infants?

Brilliant.
