I used to think that 'making a baby' and sex were two different things. Making a baby was a simple thing mommies and daddies did. Sex was a horrible thing only bad girls and mean men did! I think the media played into this.... I recall hearing the tv announcing two celebrities that had sex together and thinking "those evil people...."
