1) Like I said, you didn't say exactly so I don't really know. :)
2) I'm not sure what you mean by "openly". I think there is a time and place certainly and I don't think parents or children should be embarrassed for any reason. I feel like its the parents duty to be the primary educator of their child in lots of areas but particularly in this one. We may not disagree here but I do think that sex specifically is turned into something "dirty" and "shameful" in modern society because of how it is portrayed and presented. That's the part I have a problem with. A healthy discussion of the topic between parents and children is pretty much a requirement in my mind for proper parenting. Some of the hold over from Victorian England still permeates the church today and that attitude is not healthy in the Christian setting I'm describing. Certainly men and women both should be modest in their dress and behavior towards other people but between a married couple I don't think the same rules of modesty apply in private moments of intimacy. I'm trying to be delicate here without getting too involved but I hope you get my point.
