In the Interest of Education [RP for
lionhearted_rabbit]
Vincent and Bethany had been warned that parenting in the digital age was a whole set of new challenges that the previous generation had never even had to dream of, let alone face. But they were both determined to give their daughter Alicia as much freedom and independence as they could, while still keeping her safe. When the monitoring software that they had installed on Alicia's laptop returned the information that she had been visiting porn video sites, the discussion between them had been serious and long, but eventually, they reached an agreement.
To say that the Lees were considering unusual and unconventional parenting methods was an understatement, but they knew their daughter and one another, and they knew they were doing the right thing.
When Alicia arrived back home after school, both Vincent and Bethany called her into their bedroom.

What she had been doing on her computer, however, was not an issue of pushing boundaries. She hadn't wanted her parents to find out about that. She hadn't wanted anyone to find out about that. Girls didn't look at porn, or at least, that was the common wisdom.
She didn't know what it was they could want to talk with her about, so she cautiously went into their bedroom. "What is it...?"

"Alicia, when your mother and I agreed to buy you a laptop, we made a deal with you that it wasn't to be used for anything inappropriate. We had talks about respecting yourself and your body, and all that. We just want to keep you safe, and until now, everything has been fine." He took a paper off the dresser and handed it to Alicia. "This is a list of the websites you've visited in the last month. Can you tell us why you're looking at adult videos?"
no subject
"..You're... spying on me?"
no subject
Bethany continued to stay on the supportive side of the process. "We're only looking out for you. So please, answer your father's question. Why were you looking at these videos? You can tell us anything. You've always been so honest with us."
no subject
"I mean. I just wanted to see what it looked like!"
no subject
Vincent nodded. "The problem with pornography, Alicia, is that it sets a very unrealistic example, especially for young people who don't have personal experience. Your mother and I encourage your curiosity, but we want you to get good information for it."
He sighed. "And so, we've decided that no matter what, any questions or things you're wondering about when it comes to sex, we will make sure to answer honestly. If you're curious about something, then we'll make sure that gets satisfied."
no subject
"So you're not mad.. about... about me looking at porn?"
Then she processed the rest of what they said.
"What do you mean...unrealistic? I.. I guess I don't even know what that means in this context." she admitted. "I mean, the girl's, uh..." she emphasized her own chest for a moment, "were obviously fake, but it's not like I'd want anything that big bolted onto my chest..."
Sheesh, RL just totally blew up on me. Sorry.
Bethany nodded at the questions that followed. "Porn is almost always made in a way that emphasizes the man's pleasures first and foremost. It can make girls think that they should automatically just do whatever a guy wants, no matter what. While some women do like to be taken charge of, lots of others don't. And sex doesn't always have to be that acrobatic or kinky or loud and hard all the time."
It's okay! Totally understand.
...She blushed fiercely, realizing what she just said. "I mean! Not that I've thought about that in detail or anything!!" she backpedaled.
no subject
"It's okay, honey. Like we said, curiosity is natural. So is fantasizing. It's all very normal and healthy."
Vincent ran a finger along his daughter's cheek. "Come on, there must be something you're curious about, something you can ask us and we can answer so you know we mean it."
no subject
"I guess..." she thought about it. "I guess I would want to know.. if that's not what it's like, what is it like? I guess I just came away from watching those videos more.. confused and intimidated than turned on."
no subject
"I know it sounds a little weird to say, Alicia, but there's no guy in the world better at taking care of his girl in bed than your Dad." It was time to take the plunge.
"And if you'd like him to show you what that means... if you want to know what it's like to be that taken care of... we've decided you should."
no subject
But.. at the same time, if they were offering that much...
"Um. I... I guess?" she started. "I guess I would at least like to see what, uh, you know.. one of those looks like up close?"
no subject
Holding his breath again, he put his hands on his daughter's beautiful face and leaned in, closing his mouth over hers, kissing her gently at first, and then with more fervor. Bethany stayed close, her hands stroking Alicia's shoulders and arms while she made quiet, encouraging noises and considering the sudden urge that had just sprung to mind, the one that made Bethany wonder about kissing her daughter as well.
no subject
At least.. not on the mouth.
So, even with the encouragement from her mom, she broke the kiss after a moment and took a couple deep breaths. "That... felt weird." she said. She didn't know what to think about it yet.
no subject
Vincent nodded. "Is that how you're feeling, honey? Do you need to just jump into it?"
no subject
"I'll tell you when I'm okay to come back to it. Is that.. alright?"
no subject
no subject
"Um.. s-sorry..."
