“Don’t you think I know all that,” Petra said.
“Not really,” Claudia shouted. “Otherwise you would realize that teaching your children about sex is your duty and responsibility as their mother. And in truth, who better to do it? Sex should be discussed and learned about in a very safe and a very secure environment; like right here at home. And it should be with people that you trust with all your heart and soul! People that love you, respect you and that you know would never harm you and will always protect you. Wouldn’t you agree?”
And right at that moment, Petra knew precisely why Claudia had come to visit. She knew exactly what she wanted and exactly where she was going with all this. And there was nothing she could do to stop her.
Nothing.
“Yes,” Petra finally whispered. “I agree.”
Claudia smiled and then returned her attention to Kurt and Mia.
“Kurt? Mia?” Claudia began. “Would you all like to talk about sex with me and your mother? I’m sure you both have many questions.”
Kurt and Mia looked at each other and then at their mother.
“Momma,” Kurt said timidly. “Is it all right?”
Petra remained silent; her face contorted with countless emotions that the battle that was raging in her mind, heart and soul was bringing forth.
“Momma,” Mia pleaded. “Can we?”
“Is that what you would like to do?” Petra asked emotionally.
The two teens both shook their heads in the affirmative.
“Then go ahead,” Petra told them.
The teens then lit up in ecstatic smiles as they turned their attention back to Claudia.
“Okay,” Claudia began. “I guess first, why don’t each of you tell me what you do know or at least, think you know about sex. Mia, why don’t you start.”
“Oh, okay”, Mia stammered.
“And sweetheart, remember;” Claudia told her. “You are perfectly safe here. You can ask or say anything you want to, and nobody will be angry or upset with you, okay.”
“Yes, Auntie Claudia,” Mia said with a smile. “Thank you.”
“Go ahead honey,” Claudia told her.
As Mia began to speak, Petra cupped her hand over her mouth and felt an enormous lump lodge in her throat while tears welled in the back of her eyes. She knew precisely what was about to happen and she couldn’t stop it. But what was even worse was she wasn’t exactly sure if she wanted to. For deep down in a most private, dark and devious place within her soul…
Petra longed for it to happen.
It did not take long for Mia and Kurt to share with Claudia their knowledge of sex. As expected, it was extremely limited, inaccurate and so very innocent. Claudia quickly sensed that they both felt there was something very bad or wrong about sex, and that talking about it was even worse. By the time Kurt finished, Petra’s heart was pounding almost to the point of pain, and her stomach was tying itself in knots. It was suddenly becoming hard to breathe.
“So,” Claudia began. “Do either one of you think that there is something wrong or bad about sex?”
Both teens shook their head in the affirmative.
“Okay,” Claudia continued. “The most important thing to know and to always remember about sex is there is absolutely nothing wrong with it at all! After all, we are all here because of sex. But as I said a little while ago, sex is so much more than just reproducing. It is the most beautiful and pleasurable experience that can be shared between two human beings.”
