Hahahahahha. Holding each other close: Christian sex. I love how they use terminology like "cell" and stuff in there, the kids would have no fucking clue anyway.

I plan on telling my kids about where babies come from like the Soviets ran the Cold War: with strategic disinformation and consistent, utter denial.

"Daddy, where do babies come from?"
"Well, you see, son, when a pawn advances all the way to the opposite end of the board..."

MG, don't ask me for absolution... I must ask persephone *sexuality heeheh

Adding video to channels (Sexuality) - requested by swampgirl.

what's scary is that it's very possible for this to be 20 and or 2 years old from a christian production company.

Going off the clothes and pattern on the couch, I'm gonna say that it is indeed vintage.

awww is it dead? i need INFO!

It's not dead for me...

Its good for the sift to be educational. Exactly what this is illuminating, I haven't decided. I'm inclined towards Anthropology over Biology...

Those Christians can definitely take the fun out of sex.

My explanation to my future kids:
"Daddy was too drunk to pull out and unload you on your mother's tits"

"special love times". ohhhh, it makes so much sense now!

I love the way they automatically assume that anything whose origin they don't understand is "one of god's miracles".

There are all different kinds of families: White, Chinese, Black, Cowboy, Eskimo and German!

Until kids are of the age that they want to know more, the explanation of getting close in special love times, is as good an explanation as any other. Especially for younger children, detailed graphic explanation is not necessary.

"Until kids are of the age that they want to know more, the explanation of getting close in special love times, is as good an explanation as any other. Especially for younger children, detailed graphic explanation is not necessary."

Just to play the devil's advocate, Seph, it might not be necessary, but why not give them a more detailed explanation? I learned about the human reproductive process when I was in 2nd grade, when my folks bought me a bunch of science textbooks, including one on human physiology. I'm pretty sure I'm not all that screwed up now. (Or at least, not because of that particular experience.) Not only did I not have to relearn that babies aren't carried via postal stork, I had a greater appreciation for the complexities of the human being as a biological organism than most of my schoolmates. What's the need for the intermediary process wherein we befuddle our children?

"Both boys and girls are important to God"

Ever read the Old Testament, dad? God is a sexist!

I'm not advocating misinformation rembar and religious overtones aside, this video doesn't either. It only leaves out some detail, ie penetration and orgasm and the function of hormones, clitoris etc.

My point is that the level of detail that parents need to impart is completely dependent on the child's age, verbal skills, maturity etc. The level imparted in this video is about what we told our five year olds. We didn't talk about penetration etc until they were school age. We haven't talked about orgasm clitoris, hormones etc. yet and probably won't until later. At 9 and 6, they don't seem to need that information.

Not that I don't want them to know it-I just don't think they need to know at this point. If you have a good line of communication with your kids, I reckon they give you clues as to when they want to know about all kinds of stuff.

How we knew it was time to tell them about penetration, was when in general discussion about sperm meeting with egg, they asked 'how does it get in there?' We took that as our queue and happily gave the reason. I think it was at that time that we used the words 'making love'. Which while we're on the subject of words, has no more literal significance than 'special love time', or even 'having sex'.

The only problem I have with withholding information from children is that it really does stunt their growth. While, to most people it may not seem stunted, but that's only because they're so used to the status quo and overall ignorance.

For instance, the absolute best example is baby talk. People seem to think it's cute that the babies make these funny noises so they make them back. Well, kids learn through imitation so guess what! The kid thinks that's what it's supposed to do. A kid can actually learn to speak at a surprisingly young age if given the chance. The way to do that is always talk to them as an adult. If you don't use the words, they'll never learn the words.

The same goes for gender identification. When looking at a baby, you can't tell what sex it is unless you can see the genitals. But, tell someone it's a girl and they say how cute and pretty she is or that's she'll be a heart-breaker. Tell them it's a boy, and you get he's handsome and he's going to grow up to be a strong man. It's all BS of course, cause if you told them the wrong gender, they'll start saying that anyways. But the sad part is, just like with language and anything else thought, the sooner you start them, the stronger the impression. False gender identifications such as such are the main source of indoctrination that plagues our society as it is.

So yes, I am all for telling kids everything from the start. The more information, the higher the level of information, the better. Start a kid playing music when they can first press the keys of a piano will ingrain that way of thought more profoundly than first exposing them to music when they're 20.

You can tell it's vintage, because the Christians aren't at odds with science. If this video was made today it would go something like this:

Johnny: "Daddy, how are baby's made?"

Dad: "Well, Johnny, when a man and a woman love each other, God miracles a baby in her tummy. God has been doing this since the beginning of the time four thousand years ago."

I have to agree with persephone. This wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting when I read "Christian Sex-Ed Video."

shattedrose,you' gonna bore your kids to death... kids ask, you answer what they ask and not much more. Parents are always bombarding their kids with more info than they want. Kids tune it out.

and the reason why its GOOD to babble babytalk has been proven: the high pitch and nonsense simplistic syllables activate neurons and stimulate brain growth for language. It is more effective and babies prefer it. CHeck out the footnotes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_talk

"Motherese"???? Are you fucking kidding me? Who makes this shit up?

I don't give a damn what studies say. I will not be doing baby talk solely based on the fact that it's annoying and I want to punch people when I hear it.

Well, then your kids will be more likely to develop language problems.

There's no way baby talking to your child leads to them speaking correctly. If there's a study on it, then that 'study' has to be some loosely monitored, rich mother's Sunday project at best. That's the most absurd 'mother knows best' garbage I've ever heard. I'm with gunrock on this one.

Maybe speaking in a higher tone may be recognized as positive reinforcement that conveys affection and encourages the development of language skills in babies. Why else would we do it? Maybe it's just learned who knows. The real important question is: why the hell would you talk gibberish instead of using an actual language?

If you believe this "motherese" then I think "Sweet Sweet Satan" is calling you from the song "Stairway to Heaven"

... anybody else seeing the devil horns on the fetus @ 1:47?

maybe its just me...

I don't think this should be comedy. Just take out all the references to God and Jesus and you have a factual video that explains things in a safe way for young children. Once kids hit puberty, they of course need some more details on how the parts work, but for kids of the age in the video (pre-puberty) this is about as much detail as they need in my opinion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this video, in and of itself. People are entitled to believe what they wish.

hoju, I'm Christian, and I tagged it comedy. It's just so cheesy it's funny. Rofl @ the scene with the baby coming out. You wanna educate a child? Show then real child birth. No offense, ladies, but that whole this is just nasty. Especially the part with the placenta just falling out onto the bed. Blegh.

But Ann's little sister drinks from a bottle with a nipple on it!

Gotta agree, it's actually a pretty good video, I thought. If you are christian and need a video to teach your children about birth and where children come frome. I expected something absolutely different.
