Kids are intuitive and they will find out what they want to, so perhaps it's best we start teaching them everything before they learn it from porn and then feel too scared to ask the people that are really important in their lives about how to remain safe...

Also I really think lying the blame of bullying at the feet of the parents for saying something regarding their sex lives is so wrong, that's vindicating the bullies - they're the ones with the problems and are the people that need to be addressed. You can't just shy away from things and go 'oh well we best not say or do this because they might be bullied', no ****** that, the way you combat bullying is by normalising things so that they can't be outcasted and picked on, and the more things like this are talked about, the more normal they become

I don't want to normalise sex parties with multiple partners and an absence of any emotional connection, because if that becomes the centre of the bell curve what in God's great name becomes the new activity that is one or two standard deviations away, but is accepted as personal choice.
