Hello Ali. I know right? I am so tired of old … er people in their later years trying to tell teens how they should feel and how to deal with it, when those same older people know they did not follow that when they were teens. This is pure sanctimonious preaching. I remember sitting on the kitchen counter as the adoptive parents played cards with friends. I was on the counter because if someone held up their glass I was to jump down go over and get their glass and ask what they wanted and go back to the counter and make it, returning it to the drinking. I then got back up on the counter to wait for the next raised glass. I did this from 8 years old until about 13.
During one such session I heard my adopting father claim he did not understand any man having an interest in underage girls, he felt it was sick, an illness. Everyone agreed with him. I don’t know about the other couples but I do know my adopting father was 19 when he got my adopting mother pregnant … and she was 14. Like mother like daughter and the oldest hell spawn female abusing sibling also got pregnant at 14. The good news for me was one less abuser, until she divorced, returned and brought her new boyfriend / future husband who abused me and her two young sons.
Young people are going to experiment, they need the information on how to do it safely. Just saying no never worked, ever! These older people forget how powerful their feelings, desires, needs were. How frustrating being told not to touch themselves while being praised for sowing their wild oats. Girls were told to never give in, boys were praised for scoring. Well who were those boys to score with, each other?
If these republican states and fundamentalist Christians don’t want abortion then why fight any teaching of young people to know how not to get that way. Why? I often feel it is so they can be abused by adults, their parents or other church elders. Just look at the damn news, it is true.
I know my situation was different. I make no bones about that. But as a child and teen I was hypersexual. It is a well known side effect of being abused. I only knew sex with adults. So while I was attracted to other kids my age, I offered my self to adults in my life, my teachers. And I knew I was gay and wanted males. And yes some indulged me. Not one forced me or encouraged me until I made it clear what I wanted and was willing to do.
Anyway, these people in all our countries need to step aside and let younger people who understand the needs of the country and the people in it lead. Sorry if my talking about my teen years upset some people. I would suggest you search the blog for the post I did titled my horrible summer in Canada. I was beaten and abused for sex in a remote Canadian farm with no way out at 12 or 13 yrs old. On top of what I have told here on the blog of my childhood. Here I will do it for you. https://scottiesplaytime.com/2023/09/12/my-horrible-summer-in-canada/ Hugs. Angry / upset Scottie.
Oh Ali, I am so sorry. I forgot this was a reply to a comment from you. Please disregard the angry hurt rant. It is not meant at you in any way. I am so tired and upset I slipped a clog and was responding like I was talking to those people in the article, to those people who deny kids sexuality. I got far too into to my emotions. I should delete this response and write a new one. But I think I will send it so people reading it can see how raw I am right now. How I am trying to deal with my past and issues. Anyway please do not read the link if it might upset you, please forgive my abuse of your comment. Hugs. Scottie

Norhing to forgive that I’m aware of, so of course. I’ve read some of that before. The thing is, as to the comment, you’re correct. Knowledge is power, and useful for staying out of trouble. It is cruel to forbid this, that, and the salt and pepper, but to then not inform them of where things go and why, and Mrs. Dash, is even more cruel. And working at cross-purposes with whatever the goal actually is. Sheesh. We agree on that.
(The seasonings mentioned do not have to do with the other activities under discussion. Well, probably. They were to emphasize the point that information is important.)
