The x-rated atheist is not as steamy as all that. He was told that masturbation would make him go blind, and that sperm would turn his palms hairy.
He was told that lust was a sin in his heart, known only to him and to god. He was told that sex sells.
He was told that unwed mothers had loose morals and biracial children would never be happy.
He was told that a desire for anal sex made him gay and being gay gave him AIDS.
He wanted to ask about the effectiveness of condoms, thought he had read something somewhere in the back of a book, but the teacher would never call on him.
He wanted to ask if condoms came in different sizes, could be made from material other than latex, or could be flavored like his favorite desserts: strawberry, chocolate, banana.
He wanted to ask where the federal monies that used to fund sex education have gone, and why politicians always retire wealthy.
But some things are better not spoken of, not in a polite society, so they get left behind, silenced or censored, stamped with the letter X.
