sex negative parent

[lovethatlovage.livejournal.com]

I was talking to my younger brother today (he's 19 and i'm 23) and we were having a conversation about our family.

He's one of the few people that i can talk to, honestly, and I think he's growing up to be a great guy. He's female sensitive and totally enlightened, I'd be his friend even if he wasn't my brother. I think we rub off on each other in that sense.

And there was something our mother used to say that scarred us both for life. As in, we both remember and it still find it repulsive and totally against out our relationship ideology.

When my mom would talk about anyone that was pregnant (and she felt shouldn't be), an example would be a teen mother, she would always say they "shit out a baby," or "they might as well just shit out another baby."

Why would anyone think that is okay to say? We put both of our minds together, and, we still can't understand where she was coming from.


Does anyone else have horribly sex negative parents, if so, how did that affect your adult life?

My mom is very sex negative. She never once discussed it with my sister and I while we were growing up. However, she's randomly made remarks about how we should go "fuck our boyfriends" (when we were both in committed relationships). She freaked out when I asked her about going on birth control and randomly started enforcing abstinence when I was 21. I think she has some serious issues in regards to sex.

How could she enforce abstinence if you're 21?

She randomly told my sister and I not to spend the night at boys' houses because she "doesn't advocate premarital sex." I just loled.
