Wow. Even my strict Catholic upbringing was not THAT bad. You should be proud of yourself. Ironically, your childhood experience probably informs your own parenting choices today; though I'm sorry you had to go through that. Kids aren't stupid. If they ask questions, answer them honestly. I remember how my mother was so afraid (or ashamed) to talk to me about sex, she waited until I was about 14 and just gave me a 1950s-era kids book about the topic. I might not have known everything about sex at that point, but I sure knew more about than what was written in that book.

Happy parenting.
