A6 Neighbors News Herald, Port Clinton, Ohio, Wednesday, July 16, 2003 Annie's Mailbox Kids really want to hear talks on sex By KATHY MITCHELL and MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: I am a 13-yearold girl, and I'm becoming very frustrated with my parents. I took two different sex-education classes in school, and I know a good deal about sex, but my parents have never spoken to me on the topic. Most parents think kids don't want to hear "the talk," and I'm not exactly overjoyed at the prospect. But I'd like to know my parents' view of premarital sex, and their rules on dating and parties. How can I I I I I I behave correctly if they don't tell me what they expect? Please tell parents: Teenagers want to hear what you have to say, but we don't want to sit there as if you are reading a bedtime story.

Even if we act as if we're not listening, the message is getting through. If we turn our backs and pretend to concentrate on something else, please don't stop talking and give up. Or, if that's too hard, try leaving a couple of sex-education books around with your own notes in the margins. Trust me we'll pick it up when you are out of the house. Oh, one more thing: Avoid statements like, "Well, I first did this and so on.

Kids don't want to think about their parents' sex lives. Actually, we'd rather pretend you don't have one. It's far less traumatic that way. Wondering in Texas Dear Texas: You've packed a lot of wisdom in your letter, and we hope all parents are paying attention. Most teens receive sex education in school and don't need a lecture on the technical aspects of the birds and the bees.

What they need is a moral compass. Tell them how you feel about dating, kissing and premarital sex. Let them know what kind of behavior you expect and why. Above all, keep communicating. Dear Annie: I am a 70-yearold man, and I have been dating a very attractive 60-year-old lady for the past six months.

"Irma" and I go out twice a week to dinner, plays, movies, and so on. However, not once has Irma offered to pay for a meal or a ticket, nor has she invited me to any event arranged by her. She also has made it clear that we ought to take a trip together and she expects me to pay for everything. This is beginning to irritate me. Irma is very successful in business, and my retirement income is less than a third of what she earns.

I already have told her that I cannot afford to treat her to any trips, but I have not worked up the courage to discuss splitting the cost of our dates. In the old days, men, including me, happily paid for everything, but it is my understanding that times have changed and nowadays women are expected to pay at least part of the time. Could you tell me the current ground rules? Hawaii Gent Dear Hawaii: Women, especially those with an income equal to or higher than that of their dates, should alternate treating. If Irma is uncomfortable grabbing the dinner check, she should offer to cook a meal for you at home, or buy tickets in advance of the next event. It is unconscionable that she expects you to pay for everything, knowing that her income is three times yours.

Tell Irma that she has become a bit too expensive for your tastes, and you'll have to see less of her. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sug- ar.
