Let's do something different here for Mother's Day: Looking back, how did your mother's teachings about sexuality affect how you matured, interacted in relationships, saw yourself as a sexual being, enjoyed your sexuality?I started this topic on our Naked at Our Age Facebook page (which I hope you'll like), and the responses were so honest and valuable that I decided the topic deserves a bigger forum. I hope you'll add your comments. You don't have to use your real name, but please tell us your age so we can see how the era in which we were raised affected what we were taught about sex.
I have two chapters in Naked at Our Age called "Unlearning Our Upbringing" -- one with women's stories, one with men's stories. They're poignant, provocative, compelling. At a certain point we either look at our upbringing and realize it doesn't serve us any more, and we change -- or we don't.
I know I'm only asking about mothers here, but we'll do this later on for Father's Day, too!
