My Mum: So what do you do with your girlfriend then? (I had just come out to her, she was curious) Me: Well, all sorts of stuff, like [blah blah blah rough description of some sex stuff...] oh, and not forgetting of course, oral sex. My Mum (horrified): What! That's Gamahuche! You realise that was the sin for which Gomorrah was destroyed, don't you? Me (flabbergasted): ...
OTOH, one of the best pieces of advice I ever got from anyone came from my Dad. I must have been pretty young when he told me this too, maybe about 8? He said "Well, of course, you shouldn't lie and blah blah blah and I'm not saying you should etc. BUT!!!! If you do lie - LIE TO THE END!"
Sterling stuff from my Dad the realist. Even just the acknowledgement that it was possible to do such a thing and not be a bad person is an unusual message for a little girl to be taught. :o)
