There is nothing as worse as imagining your own parents having ***. Think again. There is something else worse than that. Sorry but feel it: Your parents might be having better *** than you. As a child i rarely thought about discussing *** with mom or dad. I thought it as an abomination. In the earlier generation, no one even talked about ***. My mother never talked about *** with her own mother and so it never crossed her mind that parents can talk about *** with their children. My father died when i was young but that did not deter mum from dating other guys. I used to play with the guys a lot but i never imagined what happened between mum and her friends when i retired to bed.     

Ask anybody about their parents’ *** life. The answer they will give you shows that they view their parents as pure and chaste not petting or pawing. This is usually during childhood but as people approach teenage hood, the thought might creep in their mind but they usually brush it off. What happens behind our parents bedroom doors is not a pretty thought you will agree with me. It is funny because when parents are in the age where they can have sex, they do not talk about it. They actually gather the courage to broach the subject once the phase has passed. Discussing *** with mom is now possible and for your knowledge she is now 82 years old. Intellectually, i am supposed to listen and support her *** identity but sometimes i feel there are some things i would rather not know.

My mind tells me that discussing *** with mom is not a big deal but my gut contradicts it. Would you ever want to know how many guys your mother slept with? Who was good at it and who slept on the job? My mum decided to write a book about her *** life and i was given the role of proof reading the draft. Reading her romantic episodes, word by word, paragraph after paragraph on every page would have been exciting only if it was another woman. The imagination was shocking and i realized that her *** life was far much better than mine. It was full of drama but very spontaneous. If only she taught me about *** like she taught me about cooking i would be enjoying all the pleasures nature can give.

By the time my mum was 18 years old, she had romance stories with internationally big people who gave her the best. On the other hand when i was about the same age the best i would do romantically was watch a Hollywood romantic movie in the TV room. When i read her romance story i knew my mother was appreciating her being a sexual being more than i do. If discussing *** with mom was something i grew up with, i would have appreciated physical needs, desires ******** and faults. My mum is beautiful but i attribute her success in the romance field to her experience. If i would have learnt from her my experience would be more fulfilling. This is just but a thought.

One of the things I miss from the past is my family’s debates over current affairs and such. I come from a family of five boys and a couple of intellectual parents (I don’t think that rubbed off).

I remember that we used to sit in my parent’s living room or out on their spacious lawn on a Sunday afternoon and someone would ask an opinion on something — the debate was on. Often there were seven or more different opinions and no consensus when the debate ended. It was a stimulating time.

I had a high school teacher, Mr. Smithers, who really knew how to start the debate with fire. He would come into the classroom and make an inflammatory statement about a current event, and the reaction from the class was instantaneous. I discovered that most of the time he didn’t necessarily believe the stance he took, but he did know what position would inflame his students. This was a high school English class not a debate class, and most of the students would not have had the least bit of interest in debate per se, but they were unknowingly dragged into one on a weekly basis.

The one I remember best was the Cuban Missile Crisis. The morning after President Kennedy announced his intentions on television, Mr. Smithers walked into the room and said something to the effect “What is Kennedy thinking, he has no business telling the Russians what they are allowed to do”. Almost every hand in the class when up and many had already started raising their voice. He would then guide the conversation, all the while pretending to be upset at the president.

I believe that debating is a healthy way to open our minds up to different perspectives on a subject. Sometimes we change the view point of others, sometimes they change the way we see the issue, and often we all just come away with an understanding of how everyone sees an issue. We have to approach any debate, be it an organized one or just a discussion between two people, with the mindset to hear and understand the opposite view point.

If you get fired up about things that are going on around you, put it up for debate and see how many others agree or disagree with you. There are many forums on the Internet where you can spawn lively debates on just about any subject. One such is www.as-i-see-it.com I hope you get into the fun of debating.
