I’m an only child. By age 10, nobody had ever explained that activity to me, so I had no idea what sex even was.
I had no brothers or sisters to explain it to me, and since I had also never seen a baby before, it never crossed my mind to ask where they came from.
I accidentally walked in on my parents going at it one night. The room was dark, all I could barely see was my dad’s naked butt moving around, and I heard my mom moaning.
Keep in mind, like I said, I didn’t know what sex even was yet. I assumed my dad was beating my mom. I had no idea that what they were doing was actually an act of pleasure.
I almost went to the living room to grab the baseball bat to go protect my mom. Instead I just went back to my room and slammed the door as hard as I could.
So, yeah, wanna talk about what’s more traumatic? At age 10, I almost went to get a baseball bat to beat my dad’s head in, because I thought he was beating my mom.
It really does help to understand what’s going on, like what the hell do you really expect a dumb kid to think when they hear mom moaning and see dad thrusting?
You’ve combined the two things together and said they are worse than one on its own. Duh.
The original poster is talking about the vast majority of kids today who do in fact get a decent sex education and if they see/hear their parents going at it, the ‘trauma’ is in seeing them in an unexpected context, not thinking Dad is beating mom.
I didn’t combine two things. One thing led to the other.
I heard mom moaning, so I was concerned. So that’s how I reacted, to go check on her. For lack of knowledge, what I saw led me to believe she was getting beaten.
The only reason I didn’t go back in with a bat was because my dad was naked, which utterly confused me since I also thought it was abuse.
I’m 42 now and have long since learned the facts of life and all. But what I’ve also learned is that you can never assume that anyone out there got a ‘decent’ sex education when they were young, if any education whatsoever.
I dunno about that.
