My experience is that young people are often mortified by their parents.
I used to hate it when my mother sang in public, think Lotte Lenya!
My students hate it when I am standing in front of the board, and they say,
Move, Miss Chancie, and I dance a little before I move.
They blush and roll their eyes, and generally convey that
I am an embarrassing person all around. And
I think some young people are uncomfortable with evidence that their adults are sexual beings, but
Sexuality is a healthy part of life, and
I want young people to own their own bodies, and to be in touch with their own sexual feelings, and
I want them to see the adults in their lives modeling passionate love.
I don't 'get' furries, though I do 'get' butt plugs, but
Who gets to decide what is 'normal'?
