Sex ed

Compared to some cultures i guess the Dutch are pretty open when it comes to nudity/sex etc.

We have tv programs about women giving birth, we have a program where couples get tips to improve their sex lives (and then later on show whether they got the message or not), we have adds with (almost) naked women and so on.

When Morten was about 3 or 4 he had this 'what's it made of/where does it come from' period.

There was no escaping it.

And he asked when i happened to be having lunch with 2 other co workers who dropped dead all of sudden not wanting to miss out on this one.

People are made of an egg and a sperm I said.
And took another bite of my sandwich.

Luckily so did Morten and in the years to come all 3 (though in different stages)slowly began to crasp the concept of love and making babies.

Not totally though.

And some things are simply to gross when you are 7.

On one of these weekend mornings Morten wanted to know what "tongen" (French kissing) meant.

This was too good an opportunity to let go.

Robbert and i showed them.

Thus ensuring they will not be doing it till they're 45.
