Beautiful video, and the message is important for our repressed and afraid country – we are still very Victorian in our ways, despite the appearance of things. Love the incorporation of interpretive dance as well. I never got the sex talk, was only accused of being sexually active when I had my first hickey (I made out in a theater with a guy, nothing more). My best friend was continually called a wh@$# by her family although she was not remotely involved with anyone when that started…and so many people are afraid to even touch themselves. I started young, and discovered that it felt good, but was wracked with guilt about it – for no reason. I thought that it must be a dirty thing that no one should know about. Somewhere along the way, I became the open minded and honest person that I am today, but still, our society associates guilt and sin with everything that we do. We instill that fear of which you speak, instead of useful knowledge, and the openness of discussion. When I babysat three year old twin boys, and they became fascinated with their penises, I wanted advice on how to handle it, and asked friends what their experiences were like at that age. I did not want to demonize their own or any one else’s genitalia. I eventually told them, that is okay for you to do when you are alone, and not to touch one another’s or let anyone touch you there until you are older, and in the bath, I had them washes their own genitalia with a wash cloth.
