Fury over 'fondle' book

Gusset typing.

The only problem I see here is the waste of money. I see no moral issue involved, other than that.

Somebody send me one of those books right away! I never could figure out how to do it, and man am I randy!

i don't think you have the right parts on you?

who is samantha fox?

[General Ludd]

Hey, I had a cartoon book all about sex and puberty before I was even 9. Wish I had one about masturbation, too.

[Snotty]

Sam fox used to be a topless model for the sun newspaper (amongst other things I imagine). She got quite famous for it although she must be 40+ by now. I remember having sam fox strip poker on my spectrum. Having to learn poker at 7 just so I could get the clothes off of a grainy image of sam fox

The Sun says:

Too soon

CHILDREN¹S innocence is a precious commodity that disappears all too soon.

The problem is that childen are experimenting from at least 9, and its this kind of age that there has to be some kind of sex ed, at least to stop the 11 year old boys making the 12 year old girls pregnant. I know its distasteful for some parents, but other kids do need this ed at these ages.

I'll be interested to see whether these leaflets make it to my poncy (all-girls!) school

I don't know about you, but I'd much rather my kids knew what to do and what not to do than just had to work it out for themselves. This is no guarantee that they'd do what they'd been told though, but at least they'd know the possible consequences of their actions. Most kids these days know more swearwords than I do (though admittedly, none of the more obscure ones ) and have been brought up in an environment where the popstars wear almost nothing () and they are encouraged to copy their examples.

Innocence is overrated and all too fragile these days so there's no point in trying to keep kids in the dark as long as possible.

Yes, but today was my birthday, so I've been pretty busy with friend-related stuff. I'll try getting back to you tommorow. If I don't get back to you soon enough, feel free to PM me again to remind me.

No worries. Just wondered if it got there.

Innocence is like youth. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Kids grow up fast enough already, why do we need to put even more pressure on them?

You've obviously never been a 9-year-old girl.

Some of my girlfriends actually asked me for "gardening tips". True, most of them come from overseas, where the cultural acceptance of female sexuality is not particularly high, but we're talking postgraduate college students here, aged anywhere from 23-27 who just never learned how to pleasure themselves.

Maybe it's different for guys. My brother says he learned some time in his early teens.

If a girl is able to tell me what works, then it will save lots of time/pain/boredom, etc - far better than just hoping I work it out for myself.
