My parents took this approach with the idea that if I’m capable enough to circumvent a barrier, I’m probably capable enough to not need it. It’s an ideal I championed for a long time until I developed enough of a mind to understand that this approach is what gave me the confidence to go out and get molested when I started getting curious about sex.
