mitheth lethley & sexwords & Wesley

[Guest guest]

I've tried to answer questions absolutely straight when asked. One

three years old then interpreted this as when the daddy puts his 'pip'

into the mummy .... as for terminology - my mother was from medical

family so everything got its proper name (except for ' 's -

she ever one for the double standard!) - don't think she ever referred

to my 'parts' until later on (that's what my n grandmother

called the ladies bits, but I think it was the mens as well) - a

friend of mine refers to the flue of women and I quite like

Wesley's 'bush'. (not literally, you understand). Still euphemistic

but not yukkily so, or prissy, I also hate 'front bottom' which also

implies more dirtiness that what is helpful to women IMHO.

Whilst we're on the subject of Wesley again - have never read the

last few ones - from Second Fiddle onwards - can anyone tell me if

they are as good as the early ones?

Penguin publish a book called Sexwords but not sure where it is. One

of my mischievous friends gave it to a very innocent type of married

friend as a birthday present...history doesn't relate whether she read

much of it!!

My 3yo son is always saying that so and so has or has not got a

willy - even in public, the sweet innocence of it is waning a bit with

me now....

Agree that it's a bit difficult when it's someone else's son -

particularly if the mother is uptight. But perhaps you coudl gently

do your bit (or his dad could) to help him be at home with it or he

may end up with quite severe hangups (I knew someone who's mother told

him *never* to touch it, he never did til he went away to uni, and I

think has severe sexual hangups as his wife has told me) There must

be some middle way !
