Did your parents have sex around you as a child?

And if so, what (if any) effect has it had on you?

Is it weird/confusing/traumatic for children, or does it provide a healthier and more realistic model of sexuality than pornography and school-based sex education?

Are you? You didn't see any of this as absurd?

Now we are talking!

The question is not a standard question, definitely not. And it is absurd and even weird but I think this is only because it doesn't follow the social norms since using the word sex in the same sentence as children is a bit dangerous. Does that mean we shouldn't be able to ask any questions anymore? We don't know OPs intentions, but I assume the best and that it's only out of curiousity. Maybe he heard something from his friends or had this thought while walking down the street and wanted to ask this in a community to get some other opinions. We don't know and honestly it doesn't matter.

In my opinion, we should be able to ask questions without being judged. If people are getting triggered or hurt or feel bad about a simple question, then I think they have some issues they need to work on. I don't want to live in a world where I am afraid of asking questions because others will judge.

To me, your intention looked like discrediting OP and just causing as much as distraction and adding only toxic behavior to the discussion for whatever reasons. This should not be. If you are only here to discredit OPs questions, you can use your valuable time doing something else and let people ask and discuss whatever they want.

I'm not here to discredit them. I agree with you.
