Why is it that there's all this stigma of sex and sexuality? Sex is everywhere, yet so many people still express discomfort when the "sex talk" finally comes into their own situations. I for example grew up in a single-mother-minimum-wage family and so it was up to me to kind of educate myself about sexuality and such, my mother did not really have a talk with me because she herself is one of those old fashioned sex myth believers,when I wanted to join the swim team and asked about tampons she actually replied, "tampons are for women who have a lot of sex" (yea i know lulz)
I always thought "everybody does it, it's like farting"

So why is it that talking to teens about sex is so mortifying?
