“My mother was staying the night to go to an early meeting the next morning and commented on my Human Sexuality textbook. While flipping through the book, she seemed to be appalled. I think she might have missed the sexual revolution or at least not have been a full participant. She commented on the picture of a circumcision saying that she always wondered what it looked like. She asked me about the teacher and I told her that he has been teaching the class since 1969. She said he must be a dirty old man.

“I was having breakfast with my parents and they were asking how my classes were going, so eventually we discussed this class. We got on the subject of pheromones and my dad asked what they were, so my mom replied that they were ‘sex hormones.’I though my dad was going to have a heart attack because he doesn’t ever want to hear anything about sex regarding any of us kids, especially me because I’m the baby. I just laughed at them both and gave a better explanation than my mom did and my dad seemed much more comfortable at that point.”
