I'm a therapist who currently works with juvenile sex offenders. I've noticed that most were introduced to sex by being abused themselves, or they were never taught about sex, so their unbridled curiosity led to inappropriate sexual behavior. Most offenses were committed out of ignorance and not flat out deviancy.
In that article I posted about the physicians response to Mormon teachings about masturbation, he referenced examples of kids who committed suicide, turned to bestiality (because nobody told them it was bad, whereas masturbation was evil), and another child who turned to alcohol abuse because he felt that he might as well because he felt evil anyway due to not being able to quit masturbating.
My ex-wife, who was raised in a tbm family, was never taught about sex by her parents, and neither were her siblings. Most of her sisters ended up pregnant in highschool. I've had numerous TBM friends tell me that sex was a taboo subject in their homes.
How did your parents teach you about sex and masturbation?
How did it affect your view of sex and your sexuality?
