Once seen cannot be unseen.
As adults, we’d like to think we can have adult conversations about sex, but it was a little bit different when we were kids.
We all came around to knowing the truth eventually, but depending on the information fed to us by parents and elder siblings, we grow up all with all sorts of ideas about how babies are made.
Readers of ‘How a Baby is Made,’ a 1975 book written and illustrated by Danish writer and psychotherapist Per Holm Knudsen, were left under absolutely no illusions about the process of childbirth.
If they were, they must have been blind because it genuinely could not have been made any clearer.
The book went viral again this week and offered an insight into one particularly graphic model of educating the young about the process of making babies, right from when Mam and Dad got down and dirty in the bedroom to when the little boy or girl emerged from the womb nine months later.
When we say that no intimate or gory details were spared in the meantime, we bloody well mean it.
If you don’t believe us, scroll down and see for yourself but don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Hat-tip to Claire Henry for sending the pics our way and also to our sisters at Her.ie
