  My buddy’s parents were like this. They’re very religious, and damn near disowned him when his younger brother snitched to them that he saw a condom wrapper in his trash. This was despite the fact that their older brother was born full-term less than 9 months after their parents got married…

  If they thought it’s necessary to warn you, it must have been some truly awful sex

    If I was the result of that, I’d be feeling seriously insulted.

      Don’t worry, your mom gushed like Old Faithful when you were conceived. Your dad’s long-stroke game was on-point that night. You can rest easy, she was thoroughly satisfied.

  Parent: Don’t have kids. They are awful and will ruin your life.

  Only child: 👀

    kids don’t ruin plans, they change plans.

      I mean if your plans were to have a simple life to do whatever you want devoid of responsibility then they definitely ruin those plans.

      For the right people, plans are ok being ruined

  My mother was a social worker in New York and Philly during the sixties and seventies. She use to tell me (as a pre-pubescent child) about how she use to have to put young girls (10-13) on birth control and how some already had a child at 13. I hit puberty at 10 so she gave me the talk about how regular masturbation was healthy and showed me how to put on a condom.

  Decades later and I’m still emotionally scarred. *shiver*

    You would have preferred being uninformed? Yeah her methods and timing might not have been the best, but take it from someone who knows - you were better off.

    • JoMiran@lemmy.ml ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Oh, I 100% agree. Still, that was…something.

    That’s not so much being upfront and honest with sex as it is trauma dumping on you. The fact that you’re emotionally scared from it decades later is a big clue here.

      I am curious what they meant by “emotionally scarred”. Like, reality can be harsh, and learning that leaves an impression, but that doesn’t mean that the process was messed up, although it could have been.

      Awkward is not bad, not always. It depends on the details.

      I think you meant “emotionally scarred” but if I’m honest, “emotionally scared” is also true.

    I really hope that’s just poor phrasing…

      LOL, it was poor phrasing.

  My parents: "no sex before the wedding"

  Also my parents: "...and then we had no other option than to drink wine, and that's how we became a couple."

  Mmmkay.

  You are horrible.

• ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  This is why this form of moralising fails. Nobody told you not to eat poop, it IS horrible, it tastes that way, it’s horrible for your health and it leaves you with a nasty breath. Sex is/can be extremely enjoyable, it’s a calorie-negative activity even! And because it is, it had to be regulated, and God regulated it and left it as the gift between two people who know, love and commit to each other, it’s the only way it will not only “taste” good but be good for your psyche and soul’s health (and physical health too cause fucking around can have the known medical consequences). But of course, nobody can force you, you have to accept this yourself and enforce it to yourself.

    1. god is only pretend; and 2) you don’t need an imaginary divine punisher to learn that sex is a special thing that should be based on respect and trust-- and while it can be better if love is part of the equation, it doesn’t have to be. let alone some stone age binding ritual of “you’re my property now”

    i agree that some regulation should surround sex, but “no sex unless married” has to be one of the most useless requirements

      I know that’s how it is for you and your whole so-called civilization but that’s the whole point: you need to deprogram. Hedonistic nihilism is not a solid foundation to build anything that doesn’t turn into a cancer for the rest humanity.

    If you have friends who have kids, please ask them how often they’ve gotta tell their infant not to stick their poopy fingers in their mouth. I guarantee your parents had to do it with you too.

    • ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Well, that’s true, but at the stage of development those I interact with here are, I assume their palate, sense of smell and understanding of reality is advanced enough to have a baseline dislike of poop. Unless they’re some freaky Berliners or something, idk. 😅

    Enjoyable sex is enjoyable sex, regardless of the number, type, or genders the participants choose to include. As long as everybody involved wants it to happen that way, what business is it of anybody else’s? Everyone has their personal preferences in a multitude of areas, and sex is just one of them. If you want your preferences to be considered valid and acceptable, then you must allow others to have the same rights.

    • ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I don’t understand what this has to do with anything I said, lol. You don’t believe in God, so you don’t believe in things being objectively valid or not, some limits being strict regardless of whims, this is not for you. You go have your consensual orgies and mudplay in sex clubs in Berlin, I’m not stopping you. 😔

    What?

  • wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    So basically, if I include food with sex, it’s a calorie positive activity, and none of that applies.

    I need to open a pizza shop, this is going to get expensive fast otherwise. Now, who wants some meat-lovers? Extra large, of course 😏

      Have you ever had a dog get right up into your face immediately after cleaning itself?
