The post on men not being interested in sex had me thinking about this... I was questioning whether it was really a generation thing, older generations aren't as open about sexuality as say generation X possibly? I'm 33...I'm very open with my kids about their sexuality and have always answered questions as truthfully and tactfully as possible. In turn, they ask me things that embarass my husband who is turning 40. I know that they will always come to me for answers and hope that my honesty will keep them from feeling the need to experiment as I did at a young age. I was always open with my husband too in regards to talking about sex...did the whole when have you last been tested, you need to show me a negative HIV test before we go bare, what do you like, etc...I had one encounter in the past where I did all this and the person who swore they were clean had to admit later after getting STD testing that they weren't and they wouldn't have got the testing done if I hadn't pointed out something specific that didn't "look" right and refused to go further without knowing. Not that anyone here needs specifics but I'm wondering how open most are with their partners and if it's an age/generational gap that is causing some off statistics.
