Parental Training

Responding to questions, the
psychiatrist said that parental
training of their children is extremely
important in the child's
attitude towards sex. He said that
parents can over train a child so
that he or she becomes very terrified
by sex. He compared this
with the child that, being told
repeatedly to stay out of the
street, becomes afraid of cars to
such a degree that he is frightened
even to ride in cars.
