See he is speaking the 's' word...

I really enjoy the moment when kids come up with questions. Is sky the highest point? No son. Then what is beyond that? Universe son. Then what color is the universe? Colorless son. Then how come the sky has color. Do you think that God is partial? No son that's the way it is. And the questions go on.

But the most hilarious situation occurs when the child asks questions like "papa where do the babies come from?" (i sincerely hope to God that the papa also knows the answer) and there is poor papa blushing and looking here and there making sure that no one has heard what the kid has said. "Keep quiet son, don't ask such questions, i don't know" and the kid goes that "papa you don't know? Mummy was saying that there is an angel up in the sky that comes down on earth and blesses the ma with the kid". Overhearing it the big brother says "that’s not true otherwise why they would invent honeymoon".
Indian people are very afraid of saying the 's' word (can you imagine i was telling a friend the topic and she is asking "what do you mean by 's'").

I mean in a country which has the second largest population in the world (here is one area where we are going to beat china soon) how can the people avoid or avert discussing the 's' word (see i am still writing 's' instead of......oh my god even i cant say it). Someone might say that this is the reason that we are contributing so much to the exhaled carbon dioxide and that perhaps is the right reason.
Let me analyze the reasons as to why are we so afraid of saying that word.
Reason number 1 : we feel shy. Hey who was that? Who said that? When you don’t feel shy pissing the wall in public and when you don’t feel shy hitting the fairer gender in the family (although it increases the employment and gives work to employees of women rights groups), then why is that you feel shy saying the word (the last time i felt shy was when my parents joked that they are looking for a girl for me).
Reason number 2 : our culture doesn’t support it.
That’s the most preposterous thing i have heard. Probably the dude who said this isn't aware of the ancient Vedas and literature (kamasutra is the best selling book on this topic. My friend says-what’s kamasutra?) adorning the history of India along with epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana.
Reason number 3 : ummmmmmm. Maybe because the pituitary gland located in the hypothalamus over secretes hormones which affect the medullar oblongata and thereby affecting your spinal movements and deactivating the current discharge in the synaptic space between two neurons - infact i am not finding any other valid reason to not publicly say that 's' word.

So my point is that sex (phew finally i am able to say it) education is extremely important in today’s atmosphere where AIDS is spreading like an epidemic. Sounding too swami Ramdev baba type of blog right? But people sometimes the right thing is pretty boring
The next time when your little brother or sister asks you that where do babies come from then i am sure that you will at least give that child some true facts and not a reason to think that you are a fool (today’s kids know everything)

so sex is not a
Severely Embarrassing eXasperating word

rather its a
Sound Enlivening and eXeedingly socially acceptable word
