It might be true that there's no reason to talk to a five-year-old about the advantages of diaphragms over pills, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't teach children about how sex and reproduction work, the Truth (buzzz) and Consequences. The sooner the better, the only thing dirty about sex is that everyone tells you that it's dirty before you're old enough to know better. Andy Tannenbaum Bell Labs Whippany, NJ (201) 386-6491
