Somebody somewhere (My God, this is how far I've sunk? I don't even know where I hear things from anymore??) was complaining about the sex on the TV show "Glee." Being a commenter on pop culture, I had to watch the show in question.
It was about two teen couples, one heterosexual and one homosexual, who are thinking about having sex for the first time. (We must overlook that these actors are about 25 or more.)
So...I waited and waited for these big, offensive sex scenes. Finally with less than two minutes left of the show, both couples are shown in mostly darkness, in bed, still. End of show.
Now, no teen was upset by this episode, unless they hoped to see more real sex. (Like a kiss!)
But certain uptight, eyes closed, adults had a hissy fit. (I wonder if they actually watched it?)
I have blushed at some scenes I caught on soap operas. Trust me, teens have seen and done much more than "Glee" showed them. RIGHT NOW.
Any adult has the option of watching the show with their kids and then TALKING about it. Might even be a GOOD IDEA. SPOILER ALERT AHEAD
If your child is in school, then they already know more about sex than you think. The more you are uptight about sex, the less they will tell you how much they already know. In the majority of cultures, over the majority of history, a boy becomes a man at 13 and a girl becomes a woman when she begins menstruation. It sickens me how we have infantilized our young people. We do it with sex, money, jobs, responsibility, and life in general. Any adult who believes they are doing their kids a favor are so brainwashed by the media that they can't even see what poor parents they are.
