нашите деца за сексот.
на училиште како основа.
да ги пополнат празнините -
about biology and mechanics,
за биологијата и механиката на сексот,
и безбедниот секс.
that sex is pretty much all about.
дека сексот е главно тоа.
about pleasure and desire,
за уживањето и копнежот,
to be present in their body
за сопственото тело
that we model touch, play,
нивните сетила.
not just about sex,
децата не само за секс
that I needed as a girl.
кога бев девојче.
се подбиваа со моето тело
for what I was experiencing;
она што го доживував.
I could at the time
just the difficult feelings,
само лошите чувства,
the pleasure, the play,
задоволството, игривоста
what it meant to be a grown-up.
да се биде возрасен.
about their relationship to sex
во однос на сексот
they were too sensitive, too much.
дека се премногу чувствителни.
чувствата само јас.
of how much I used to feel.
многу сум била во допир со чувствата.
"Day at the beach with the girls."
„Ден со девојките на плажа“.
just out of reach of the surf

„Еј, сакаш да те затрупам?“
and she was like, "Yeah!"
and lathered her up in the shower
that I was creating for her?"
like she was on some assembly line
and put to bed.

in a towel tenderly the way a lover would,
нежно како љубовник што би правел,
to expect that kind of touch.
тој вид на допир.
about intimacy.
and respect her body.
и почитува своето тело.
that can't be conveyed in words.
кои не можат да се искажат со зборови.
on their partner's pleasure,
на задоволството на партнерот,
with my girls when they're older,
ќерки кога ќе пораснат,
identify what gives them pleasure
што е тоа што им пружа задоволство.,
when I tuck her in.
кога ја гушкам,
to rub your back?"
како сака да го истријам.
нејзините инструкции.
"OK, up and to the right,
how to articulate their sensations
како да зборуваат за своите чувства
with my girls at home to do this.
on my daughter's arm and say,
по раката и ја прашувам:
to tell them how I'm feeling,
како јас се чувствувам,
дека сум возбудена и имам трема.
means I'm nervous and I'm excited.
in response to me.
во однос на мене.
is to judge these reactions
судиме на овие реакции
in this binary culture
to sort the world into good and bad.
светот како добар или лош.
notice about that story?"
во приказната?“
and curious about their experiences,
и љубопитни за искуствата,
without checking out --
без да ги потиснуваат -
and challenging ones --
крајно непријатни -
потребно кога бев девојче.
да го научиме од нашите деца
in turn remind our children
потсетуваме нашите деца
