Seeing the freaking out that some people seem to be having over children learning about sex, gay people, etc. I wonder if my childhood was unusual. 

My dad explained the mechanics of sex to me when I was like in the second grade. I remember him telling me that a boy puts his “pee pee” into a girl's “pee pee” and a seed goes in. Not having any clue how the fuck that was supposed to work, I envisioned one of my nuts traveling through my urethra and asked if that didn't hurt? He said no, that it actually felt pretty good. Yeah, I was so confused. LOL. 

Both my parents were pretty open when it came to issues about sex. It was the same on both sides of the family as well. They never have anything back. My uncle was a mechanic and lived on the same property as his mom. His garage was lined from floor to ceiling with women in varying stages of dress, including being nude. Of course I spent time out there staring when I was little. I remember the horror of my uncle throwing me under the bus telling Grandma I was out there all the time. Grandma squinted her eyes and asked in her most serious tone if I had been out there staring at nudie pics. Not knowing what to say, I blurted out that they were awfully hard not to notice! She busted out howling and said I was right about that.

The town I grew up in had a drive-in theater. That isn’t unusual but the fact that it showed nothing but porn I think might be. Of course, I didn't think it was weird back then because it was just there. You can see it from a couple different roads. Be driving down and looking over to see a couple girls going at it or a guy getting a BJ or whatever. And no, nobody ever complained. We used to sneak out there as early teens because of course we did. Obviously, this was before the Internet. It was finally closed sometime in the '90s and no longer exists. One woman I went to high school with told me on Facebook a couple years ago that that she could see it from her house. They would just tune in the radio station for the audio and just watch it from whatever window when her parents were gone.

In Middle School, I remember us watching a sex ed presentation during a mandatory assembly. It was memorable because we were all laughing our ass as though being immature middle schooler as the narrator’s monotone voice droned on pointing out the parts to a penis and a vag. 

Another time in Middle School during study hall, my friend and I had heard that porn actor John Holmes banged something like 14,000 women in his career up to that point. We got wondering how many women a day that might be and went up to the blackboard to work the math.  And the teacher watched us! He knew exactly what we were figuring out cuz we weren't shy about discussing it. To this day, I don't know whether he was interested to answer himself, happy we were doing math, or a combination of both.

We moved out to Ohio for my last year of high school. It was completely different from the school system I grew up in. Like we had a mandatory assembly too. It was a woman weekly begging us not to have sex until we were married. I was laughing in my head because my girlfriend and I was making a beeline for my bedroom almost everyday after class. I also remember being shocked by how many pregnant girls I saw in the school. It's like they had never heard of a condom before. 

So how about you all?
