It's just the thing I always think about when people complain about things their children MIGHT see in the public. Like nudity or gay couples. To me it always reads that the people who are afraid of their children seeing or hearing about these things just don't want to have the 30 second discussion. Which in this case could be boiled down to, "well, honey, boys have different parts than girls."
Of course, I was also raised in a house where nudity wasn't an issue. Nobody walked around the house naked but if we walked in on a naked parent nobody screamed in horror.
Funny story about my brother: When he was about 4 years old he was talking to my mom while she was in the bathtub and when she got up to get out he noticed her gall bladder scar (it's a nasty scar - about 5 inches long because she was allergic to the stitches) and he asked her if that was where her penis had been. HAHHAAHHA. (This was when he got the boys and girls are different talk.)
I understand that our mental hospitals are full of poor, pathetic, scarred creatures who once glimpsed fake animal testicles as children. Thank god I avoided such a fate due to very poor eyesight.
