A really wonderful article Meg.

It shows entirely how openness works. Do not hide stuff behind religious moralisers, be natural.

We encouraged our daughter to go on the pill from 16 and when she decided it was time she brought the boy home. We'd rather know where they were and they were safe.

We always wandered around the house naked and encouraged the kids that it was perfectly natural.

Unfortunately, society and peer pressure worked against them and now they all seem shy of the openness. Even my wife ran out when I took her into a sex shop just to look for fun.

I seem to be the only one who has remained true to our earlier roots and beliefs. My wife has listened to all the other old wives and completely gone all 'English.'

I think that I must eventually leave to continue living.
