Sex - Yes I used that word in my blog. And no, my blog is not for 18 years and above. This post is for all those men and women in our country who consider sex as taboo.
Well let me ask you a question here. How many of you told your four year old that it’s not right for a person to touch your private part? You should not let anyone touch you, or remove your clothes, or put their hands in wrong places, even if they give you toys and chocolates. How many of you told your kids that if something like that happens they should come and tell you no matter what. Even if the person had threaten them to death.
When was the last time you talked about sex with your kid.
This post is the documentation of my anger and disgust towards those parents who can kill to get the best education and schooling for their kids but fail to give them simple sex education.
This is my hatred towards all those Indians, who consider Sex as taboo. It's my rage and filth for all those twisted brains, who use innocent kids to satisfy their twisted body needs.
I wonder why, we as parents are not able to provide our kids listening. Why can't they come and confide in us. Where are we failing? Isn't it a shame to leave our kids on the mercy of those monsters, because we are not comfortable to talk about sex. Our children suffer; the pain in their eyes goes unnoticed. Why? Because we are living in our own denial, completely ignorant of the fact, that someone who has access to our kids is touching them in wrong places, abusing them brutally.
The shocking discovery is that many times parents know about the dirty laundry. They just don't have courage to open their mouth. In this country, mothers ask their daughters not to utter a word, because the monster is someone with a big hold in the family. He can be a bread winner, shelter provider, or a boyfriend.
What are we ashamed of? Can’t we open our eyes and see what is at stake? Can the risk of sexually abused kid developing into dysfunctional adult be completely ignored because in India act of sex before marriage or talking about sex is forbidden? Where are we going on the name of culture?
Why did talking out loud about a simple bodily desire become transgression? Our children are not safe, any cousin, milkman or tutor can abuse them. And the worst part is that we are not ready to fight for it. Just because, we are ashamed.
ASHAMED of what?
Ever wonder what happens to those kids when they grow up. I have seen how dysfunctional they are. They punish themselves for the sin they did not do. They block access to human from their life. They lack faith, they shut life, and they shut love.
Are we born to create this? All the innocence on stake, just because someone once decided that talking out loud about sex is taboo.
