On sex education
The first time I was ever told anything about sex and where babies came from was when I was around eight or nine years old. We lived on a farm and I had to walk to school (a small one room country school) which was a mile and a half away. A young girl of around my age and her younger brother, who lived about a half mile up the road from us, would walk with me on my way to and from school. One day the girl asked me if I knew where babies came from. I said I didn’t. Then she told me all about the process. Well, I didn’t understand it at all. The idea of a boy putting his penis inside a girl didn’t make sense to me at all. I didn’t understand how such a thing would be possible. The girl had perhaps been told about it by an older sister or a parent. Anyway I don’t think it is surprising that it would not have made any sense to me. I would say that a male erection is really quite an amazing phenomenon. Without experiencing it or seeing it, it would be quite difficult to believe it possible. And, in addition, you can’t understand sex without experiencing the feelings involved. Sexual desire, its strength and power, can only be understood by experiencing it. So until puberty I was naive and innocent about such things and very happily so. I think if one of my parents had tried to explain these things to me before puberty, my opinion of them would have dropped dramatically. I wouldn’t have understood it at all and the idea that they engaged in such strange and ridiculous behavior would have made a bad impression on me, the idealistic dreamer that I was. Except for this no one ever told me anything about sex. But when erections started occurring (along with the sexual desires) at around the age of 12 I understood everything without anyone telling me a thing. I do remember looking up a few words, like sexual intercourse, in the dictionary — trying to learn about these things from a dictionary. I understood that sexual intercourse led to pregnancy and babies and the idea of getting a girl pregnant was a scary one for me. I understood that if I got a girl pregnant I would be under moral obligation to marry her and support both her and the child and I could only do that if I dropped out of school and got a job. It would mean the end of my future. I felt in no way ready for this kind of thing. And I wasn’t ready for such a thing. I had never had a job, knew nothing about the basic and fundamental facts of life, had never had to take care of myself and make it in the world on my own, and certainly was not ready. I had enough sense to understand that sex at my age would produce great risks and dangers. It would be very, very foolish for me. Being a loner, I never did talk with other teenagers or anyone else about the subject.
I don’t think children should be taught about sex until they reach puberty. And then I am not sure how much needs to be said. A few paragraphs would probably be adequate. The Bible teaches that sex outside marriage (fornication) is sin and the punishment for it is hell. I think the moral aspects of the subject need to be strongly emphasized. I definitely don’t think children should be taught about homosexuality or perverted sex, certainly not that it is acceptable.
It seems that some homosexuals are able to pervert young children (even very young children) sexually — create homosexual sexual desires and cravings in them. See Alfred Kinsey, father of the great sexual revolution. This is sick and in my opinion is a crime of the highest order. The punishment for it should be very severe.
I have an nephew who was perverted by an uncle when he was only four or five years old. Later he became involved in a homosexual church group. The group was finally exposed by a newspaper when he was in his late teens. He was distraught at being one of those exposed, developed deep mental problems, sought psychiatric help, and the psychiatrists taught him to just accept his homosexuality. So he has lived the life of a homosexual.
I am totally against the sex education programs in our schools. I think the homosexuals are behind these programs and their main purpose is to desensitize children to sexual perversion and make homosexuality acceptable.
