Michelle Duggar Explains Kids' Body Safety Rules: Lock the Bathroom Door!
April 29, 2020
Ever since Josh Duggar was caught preying upon his sisters, Michelle and Jim Bob have doubled down on "body safety" in the household.
Before, they had been vigilant about preventing their kids from having alone time with their peers.
The homeschooling, the courtship rules, and so much more had been designed to keep the kids "safe" from normal teenage milestones.
That didn't prepare them for Josh, however.
Now, Michelle is talking about how she now walks her daughters through puberty and what "body safety" rules she enforces.
1. The Duggars have some unconventional views
Michelle has spoken about her family's fringe fundamentalist views about sexuality, gender, clothing, and more in the past. It is always an eye-opening read, to say the least.
2. This time, Jessa was the interviewer
Jessa interviewed her parents for a video for the Institute in Basic Life Principles, the infamous cult to which the Duggars belong.
3. Naturally, they talked about repression
They don't call it that. Instead, Jessa asked her mother to describe how she teaches her children about "body safety, body changes, and God’s design for sexuality."
4. It's quite a subject
Fundamentalists like the Duggars view sex as something that happens exclusively within heterosexual, monogamous, Christian marriages. But it's also a tense topic because Josh Duggar, Jessa's older brother, infamously molested a number of little girls, most of whom were his own sisters, a crime that Michelle and Jim Bob hid from law enforcement and the world.
5. Obviously, they do have sex
That is, after all, how fundamentalists make more fundamentalists. They didn't get so many kids (and counting) through prayer alone.
6. Michelle has touched on that before
She has advised wives to "make themselves available" to their husbands whenever he wants sex, saying that doing otherwise is bad for the marriage. Which ... yikes.
