Chapter 2 An Initiation into the World of Sexuality No matter how we are introduced to sex in our early years, our first sexual experiences leave an indelible mark on our character for years to come. The Keys to an Effective Sexual Education While it may not be feasible to turn back the clock to romanticize about how very ancient civilizations may have taught young people about sex, it is possible to practice the essential ingredients of a proper introduction to sexuality by way of initiation. An initiation should begin years before anything sexual occurs. It does not mean having early sex. In fact, an effective education emphasizes patience and proper discernment and should encourage safe exploration. Above all, it should instill a strong sense of self-worth, responsibility, and respect. To do this, we need careful guidance from someone who knows us well.

We never had any formal lessons on any of this. We went for walks, hunted and fished together, or hung out and talked. My real education wasn't about facts; it was about noticing and learning from everything. Once you learn to be more observant, you can take that into being with a woman. You perceive differently, because a woman has minerals, water, warmth, and breath; she has the emotional, mental, physical, sexual, and spiritual worlds inside her.
