I am both a parent and professional sex educator. I have been a parent for more than nineteen years and I have been a sex educator for more than thirty, and I can tell you one very simple fact that I am sure of. Parents can have more influence on their children's sexual behavior than any sex education program could ever hope to have

After just reading a few great seeds on yearbook photos and such I came across this sex quiz. I thought why not for all you parents with children out there. Good luck and lets see how you score. All test results can remain private unless you want to share.

I'm thinking we should have a quiz asking are you an " Aproachable Teen"? But of course if you ask them they already know everything.

Whew! Tough questions, but Peep, who helped me take the quiz, said I was doing all right. Hopefully-- I know I can always do better, and only hope that I am truly approachable.

yeah, it is just like when I had him. My doctor informed me that I would NOT get a medal for going 'natural'.

I had to have a C-section, because I was so ill and he was so early, so I think she said it to make me feel better. Frankly, they could have knocked me out for the entire pregnancy, and I would have been perfectly content. ;-)

Dowser. I delivered my second at home myself. The mid-wife showed when he was at about his knees and he came out head first. Luckily! I remember my biggest fear was I sure hope he wasn't breached because I would have been in so much trouble. Everything went good and what a special experience. Not sure I would do it again but so glad to have done it once. I must have either that stupid or that brave. Of course the mom has to be given all the credit as I was just along for the ride it was her show really..all her pain. Special girl I guess. trusting me like that. *laughing* now* wide-eyed then...

We had no choice. I was way too ill to be doing it at home. In fact, it seemed that we had a cast of hundreds in there, with all the paranatologists and neonatologists and doctors, etc. I was 43 and it was a Big Deal for someone my age to be having my first child... ;-)

Oh well, once we got home, we were just fine. :-)

Sorry, I was on a conference call all this time, I go 24/7 . UUGG! It looks like the Dowser group is a very healthy and good looking group. I'm think if you have healthy and happy babies you are doing well. You started late for sure. I was young and reckless. LOl Both mine grown,through school, living their dreams. I'm good to go ! I get to have a second life now. All me now and going to the last breath. You have very strong family roots. Do you bleed Ky bluegrass. LOl

LOL!

Nope, but I wear Bluegrass perfume... does that count?

    Dowser- Thought you were from Bluegrass country. I love Lexington. One of my favorite little cities.

    If that perfume from those little million dollar foals running around I can't afford it. LOL

    Ok What's Bluegrass perfume?

    It is wonderful! By Elizabeth Arden! Not inexpensive, and smells heavenly! Has a picture of a horse's head on the bottle, and I love it!

    Old timey perfume. You can only get it here at Macy's. :-)

      Dowser- I guessed it had to do with those Bluegrass race horses. Oh the smell of fresh hay and straw in a barn. LOL Guessing it isn't that odor. Sounds nice now why couldn't the vine have a scratch and sniff section. Then I could smell that butterscotch pie too.

      I'll try and sniff it next time I'm in there. They carry a certain eyelash makeup ( M.A.C.) that you can't get anywhere else except on-line or there. One of my friends won't wear anything else.

      It is a gentle fragrance, but it really doesn't smell like hay, although I would think of it as a floral scent with a gentle musky undertone. I guess. I love it! It isn't really strong, and I like that, too. :-)

      My cousin used to send it to me, and it was her favorite perfume. So, when I wear it, I think of her!
