changing the delicate balance of things, and I also saw a psychologist who said that the visualization on tv of so much "sexy" stuff is planting the seeds of curiosity into younger & younger brains and stimulating them beyond their years...

In days gone by, kids on farms knew what sex was about, because they saw the farm animals, but since they were usually isolated from other kids except for their siblings, their sexual "awakening" was later..and of course the girls were married off in their teens before they could get into mischief..

I still remember my aunt telling me how she got her first period when she was almost 15, and of course no one had told her anything about it, so she thought she was dying.. and she married at 17½.. The sexes were kept separate a lot of the time, with boys working with their fathers & uncles & the girls working in the house with Mom..School was pretty hit and miss for many kids..(my mother in law had a 6th grade education, and then taught school:)
