The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that masturbating at home is not an offence, even if the activity can be seen by peeking neighbours. :smile:
Talk about crying out for love! Peeping in your neighbor's window is an offense in the U.S. These people probably would love to hear about your sex life too, 'cuz that 1-900 bill can get pretty steep! Rat B******s should at least buy me dinner first! :smile:

That is so true Daniel.

My sisters, my mother and I talk about sex openly all the time. I think by having parents that are open to talking about sex is a good thing. Seriously because it allows you to know exactly where your parents stand on the issue and there is no room for interpretation.

For religious reasons, I've chosen to remain abstenant until marriage. My boyfriend feels exactly the same way. We discussed it thoroughly before we even entered a relationship with one another.

I can't talk with my parents about sex, not even really about relationships. Which is fine, but when and if I have kids I'll be sure I can talk with them about it.
