Education is EVERYTHING. We humans literally must learn every single aspect of our lives, because unlike other animals, we mostly lack instincts. This includes sex. Not having frank conversations with our young males and females, we do a disservice to them, leaving them unprotected or subject to risky behavior. There are untold numbers of predators out there, and the reticence of puritan-residual Americans to address human sexuality is irresponsible and the pathetic result of clenched religious strictures. Many Europeans and Scandinavians are worlds away from the average American discomfort with the human body. And so here we are in America, banning books that even hint about sex or nudity, shaming children before they even have any idea why, instead of educating them.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Jesse. It is the similar experience of almost every woman I have ever known, including myself.
