I was born in ‘65 so I too grew up in that era. I remember the ONE time my mother was finally forced to discuss sex with me when I was in high school (I had been caught making out with my boyfriend,) she told me that it was even possible to get pregnant sitting on a toilet seat. 🤣 And to never start because I won’t want to stop. What!!?…

What!!?? It was all about scaring me into abstinence. It didn’t work. We will always be drawn to “the forbidden.”There were much wiser and loving ways that would have worked to get me to make the choice for myself to hold off on having sex, and I used those ways with my own daughter who waited many, many years longer before her first encounter than I had by her own choice due to having truth and wisdom to chew on. Sadly those ways are never thought of or used by the majority of parents. They either throw condom birthday parties like today or scare us to death to even use a toilet that a boy used back then. 🙄 There seems to be no common sense or wisdom among the masses.
