    Um, my parents were entirely sex talk averse, but I’ve always practiced safe sex (condoms, birth control, spermicide, sober consent, etc).

    This isn’t the only way to promote safe sex. I learned safe sex as a 5th grader in my sex ed class, and I lived in the bible belt. Let’s not pretend like just b/c some ppl don’t want to talk about sex that it has some sweeping effect. This is an entirely disingenuous argument.

    Not to mention, some ppl have a point not to let just anybody introduce sex to their kids. Sex needs to be framed appropriately so that it’s consequences (and joys) are put in proper context. She has no standards of conveying the concept of sex she lives by other than to be “lewd”. I don’t want kids, but I wouldn’t just introduce the concept of sex using just any medium or “representative”. That’s dangerous.
