We are starting the home study, and one question in the packet (from our Catholic agency) is "how do you describe your sexual development?"
I have no idea what to say. I'm rarely rendered speechless!

Re: Wow. Has anyone else had this question?
I wouldn't even know what that meant, so I'd ask my SW ASAP if I got that question.
We didn't have any sex questions. My SW looked shocked when I asked if they'd be inquiring about our sex life : /

Yikes. That totally wasn't a question I've had thrown at me yet.
If it's for a Catholic agency, perhaps "repressed" would be a good answer? (sorry, former Catholic here...)
i think ours said this, but it wasn't based on any written question in our paperwork. During our interviews, the question was asked, very superficially, if we were both satisfied in our relationship sexually. We said yes, and answered a follow-up question about if we ever had any differences in that area and how we handled it (I think my husband made a joke about all men feeling as if they ever can get enough sex, even if it's constant),and we moved on.
Repressed, guilty, but now just fine.

Heading to China in November 2014 to bring our son home!
We were not asked sex questions in any written applications. We were asked, however, in our individual interview sessions with our SW whether or not we we had any concerns regarding our "physical relationship as a couple." And my SW was quick to follow up with "You can just say yes or no, I don't need any further info than that."
I would think saying "normal" would be appropriate and if they push you for greater detail than that, well then I'd have some reservations about continuing further with this agency. That's crazy invasive.
