You know, my daughter is 17 months old and I always knock on the door before I enter… even if she’s sleeping and her door is closed, I’ll knock on it and wait a few seconds before entering, as to give her time to get adjusted. You see, I know there is a time coming when I don’t want to walk in unannounced, so I’m just saving myself a lot of hassle and training myself _now_. ---

I might note that “Porn” isn’t the only place for someone to see nudity and sex-there are plenty of mainstream movies that show “it,” and not just ones like “Species II.” [“When Night is Falling”](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6304111762/qid=1048722795/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-1794202-8050262?v=glance&s=video&n=507846) and [“Firelight”](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/6305268843/qid%3D1048722947/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/103-1794202-8050262), for example, both deal with relationships and sex in a mature, and dare I say _tender_ way, without being “Sex Movies.” ---

If I was given a porno mag by my mother when I was 14 I’d have been _creeped_ out. \*\* I _was_ given a Playboy by my mother when I was 15. I truly didn’t have the heart to tell her I liked guys better. I think maybe, just maybe, she knew and was trying to make me straight.:rolleyes: ---
