Kissing Between the Tongues

I imagine if I ever did have a child,
some unimaginable event would scar my sex life for ever . . .

For example:

In my liberal attempts to expose my six-year-old
to the "realities" of our culture,
I might have, say, let him watch a harmless episode of _Lost_.

The lead female, at one point,
would reach into kiss one of the lead males,
and it would be an open mouth kiss . . .
a long sensuous, open mouthed kiss.
Even though I may have been socially constructed
to feel incredibly awkward at this moment,
I would resist the urge to "shield" him from the kiss.

Our culture is so screwed up in the way we look at sex
as compared to violence, no? Sex is wonderful & "natural."

Weeks later.

The second day of summer break would find the child
crawling into bed with us as the daylight began to break.
Snuggle snuggle.
I peal open my eyes and see his angelic face
melt into grins.
I turn my head and see my partner in the same light.
Glorious summer morn.
Yet, as I peck my partner good morning on the cheek,
I would probably hear something, well,
mortifing from the child behind me like:

"It's ok if you kiss between the tongue, right?
You are both 30, right?"
