The German used is pretty basic.<BR/><BR/>And it may be my German upbringing, but I don't see anything wrong about this kind of frankness regarding biology. Europeans are the opposite of Americans and object to violence, whereas sex is pretty acceptable -- and I think that's appropriate, myself.

I'm not sure how old I was when our family aquired a copy of the four volume "life cycle library" that very tastefully covered the whole spectrum of issues surrounding how babies arrive... including social and gender issues... given that I rabidly consumed every book in the house, it was inevitable that I'd be browsing through them... By the time puberty hit, I was pretty well equipped to deal with was was going on, and probably saved myself a few traumas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11256222.post-20049012356907881102007-07-21T16:41:00.000-06:002007-07-21T16:41:00.000-06:00From your post I thought for sure you were talking...From your post I thought for sure you were talking about Struwelpeter (yes, I'm sure I misspelled it). <BR/><BR/>I just showed it to L. who lived in Germany as a kid and he kind of nodded and said, "yeah, Germans are like that" but then he remembers the school bus driving past a building everyday that had "SEX" flasing in neon ten feet high. He's still pissed he was too young to avail himself of that one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
