Q & A For (More Than) One (I Hope!)
Questions from Gracie (The Marketing Whore).What's one question you've been expecting to be asked at your blog which has never been asked?
Do I display my collectibles prominently (visible to folks) in my home?
Why?
Because with the state of affairs in this country, it's not pc to like nudes or porn; or at least not so much as to display these things like ceramic cats or Elvis plates. Especially if you have children, which I do.
Answer it.
Most of my visual collection, such as the art pieces and statues etc., are in the 'boudoir.' But the books are out-and-about. There are so many books, including old encyclopedias, history and anthropology books, and even modern fiction, that the kids just walk past them all.
I'm less concerned with my own children seeing nude people (they take their showers naked and have to know they'll be adults one day, and I'm open with them about their bodies, sex and love) than I am with their friends coming over and asking questions that perhaps I ought not (at least in their parents opinions) be answering -- or worse yet, their parents calling or whatever.
What's one question you've wanted to ask your readers, but never have?
What do you collect? Or what are you most interested in reading about here at SPS?
Why not?
Because it sounds like I am pandering, or lazy and desperate for ideas or something. (But aside from wishing to be interesting, I am a nosy girl!)
So, do tell me!

It's swell not to have kids ~ you can have a real den of iniquity :p
Having young children who make friends with children from all sorts of religious backgrounds...there was that friend whose mother said: "Jesus" and did a laying on of hands when her daughter got hurt...that was freaky. But i just reminded my duaghter about christians and their odd ideas about healing. Everyone knows earth mother goddess, the whole planet, is in charge of our healing. ;) Yeah, being a perv and a mama is odd. I've been having a running dialogue with myself, asking questions about which art to put in common spaces and which ones not. Nothing is hidden from my daughter as related to images of adults. But, I'm not sure that other kids' parents have told them as much about the developing human body, boundaries, abuse, adult play (not for children's still developing bodies), menstruation, menopause, proper words for genitalia and the like as I have. We don't have a lot of kids over. She goes out to visit 'em.
I have kids too, and it just doesn't seem to be the problem for me that people without kids think it would be. I wouldn't discuss your vanilla sex life in detail with them, so obviously I wouldn't discuss my kinky life with them either. Nor my finances. Nor my relationships with friends, colleagues, and ex-boyfriends/girlfriends. It's not that having children is irrelevant, because we have to be maybe more discreet than the person who doesn't have children, but it also doesn't have to be a big deal. It sounds like that's how you approach it as well.
I thank you all for your replies :)
Gracie, yes this is one of those (often 'too many') times when no children is easier :p
Dark Daughta and Catalina, I am glad to hear I am not the only one who has put some thought into things -- nor hides everything in the attic ;) I also send my kids over to the homes of others feeling that there's less risk that way (as we do talk with them about what they see and hear)... and sometimes, I wonder if that isn't a cop-out on some level or another...
Having kids as well, I really want them to grow up with as few hang ups as possible. Having daughters makes me extra vigilant in the messages, subtle and obvious, being sent in their environment. Their mom and I have a crazy good, and wild sex life, which we don't hide from them. Of course we don't show off either. I think to treat sex as super secret risks sending the message that it's shameful, even if verbally one says otherwise. Maintain decorum by all means, but don't keep your sex life Top Secret.
