I would have to agree. When I was in Jr. High and High School we had health classes about sex and whatnot, and the teachers were always talking about how schools are trying to educate the kids more about sex in general. From what I read in the community, not many schools must do this. I know that when I have children, I will definitely be having talks with them about sex, and related issues. I don't want my children to be misinformed.
I think that is really great that your mom did that. Very responsible. More parent's should have that mindset, no matter what religion they follow. I had a friend in school who's parents were very strict Baptists. The only time they mentioned sex to her was to tell her never to do it until she got married. I remember the way she used to talk about it, I felt bad.
My parents are not closed minded to the idea of sex, but we haven't actually had any real conversations about it. But, I turned out alright I think. =)
