Kinda Sutra Abridged

Where exactly do babies come from? And how are they really made?
Mixing humorous animation and interviews, Oscar winner Jessica Yu poses these questions to a variety of adults and youngsters who explore their earliest understanding of sex, conception and how the two, uh, intersect.
With humor, affection and nostalgia for youth's lost naivete, Yu's subjects recall some of their earliest experiences with - and misconceptions of - sex and babies and all things thereof. The stork, of course, makes an appearance, as do other less conventional elements, including floating airborne seeds, a tree, pollywogs and an unexpected bathroom fixture. This very personal, Indian-themed riff on the Kama Sutra provides a glimpse into how we think about sex and what we learn along the way.

wow thats cool i never new that

Great lies to tell small kids:

-There's no such thing as kangaroos - they're just mice standing very near

-Mugs are just cups who've been to the gym

-A new sun is born each morning. They set behind a mountain in the evening and that's where butter comes from

-Jumbo jets are born in the Himalayas. The young ones are called "jumblets" and their mother feeds them with tanker trucks

Poor guy thought he'd get pregnant when he was a boy, that's what misinformation does.

I thought this was very amusing and informative. I, like, these kids grew up knowing the basics of reality. My mother however told me that she learned when she was 6 from her older cousin, who told her that the man was the hotdog, and she was the bun, and he stuck it in and peed. Yes, that's how my mother learned about sex. She didn't want my sister and I to be as confused and horrified as she was.
