The Sex Talk. *Dun dun daaa*

[Kiro_Kun15]

my parents never gave me the talk, they said I was a bit to young to know and so I asked older kids and well I got told, in full discription. Mom hated that, but I think the sooner they know the better. I found out in like 1st grade, I was a very curious little child. So if I didn't get answers from one source, or if I did and I was still confused, I goto another source

yeah i was always wayyy to shy to ask something like that to my dad(grew up moslty without a mom) and i think part of it had to do with gender. so i asked one of my most-trusted and frienliest teacher and asked her about itand the elem. school i went to had your parrent sighn a sheet saying that was ok.so i suggest ask your child wich teacher of his he likes best and ask the teacher to try to bring up the subject just slightly tho not a lot. just enough to awnser some of the more timid questions. and then hell proably go home and ask you......maby.

I asked about it when my me, my dad and my brother were raking. the rest i pried out of my firends, my brother and the internet's full of it... sweatdrop

about how to break it to him...i'd say let him ask you...can't think of doing it myself...much to awkward... ninja

So I've been thinking lately, of how to approach this topic with my son. Even though it'll be quite some time before it's an issue at all, it's a topic that i'll eventually be facing head on. I'm completely lost on how to talk about sex with a son, whearas, I've thought alot about ways to go about it with a daugter.
How was the topic of sex treated in your family growing up? My mother was more liberal than her mother was with her, but I really could have used alot more information. Sons, did your mothers talk about sex with you, or was it your father's job?

Just tell him if you feel that it's the right time. Otherwise wait, and if you feel uncomfortable talking to him about it, then have your husband do it. But if you're really uncomfortable, don't give him "the talk" because it will only make him more uncomfortable than the topic already will make him.
Just make sure he knows the basics before going into sex-ed, because going into sex-ed clueless would be quite the uncomfortable situation. But that's just how I view things.
Do what YOU think is best!!

I did most of my own research with books and informational movies. It worked pretty well that way.

pornos don't count as infromational video...all though they are an eye opener eek ...don't make me look xp

I didn't look at porn until I turned 17 so no porn research. Just books and info movies. Plus sex ed class was a good excuse to have a picture of a v****a on my bed to study.

From what I've seen the earlier the better, because if it's just something he knows, there's never that awkward "having to tell him"

the older they get the more embarassing it is

but remember to remind them [my parents did this with me but i forgot it all so when I was 16 i had no idea what it even was.... yeah....]  

[KrazyKrayla]

When my mom gave it to me it was a total disaster and I am scarred for life. Seriously. I'm 20 and have never been kissed, and I'm HAPPY that way.

So I'd just suggest that you be sensitive to the things your child is not ready to hear or doesn't want to hear. ^_^

They say we burn so bright...

When I was in 4th grade me and my best friend had a conversation on the phone wondering what sex actually was. We did some guesswork and eventually got it correct.

And we were slightly grossed out.

My parents never really told me anything. I sort of wished they did. Most kids when they're little don't ask anything because they're afraid they sound stupid. Though no matter how a parent goes about it, it's GOING to be awkward, but I think the younger the kid is, the better. Just don't add stories and try to keep it short.

my parent never told me anything or even use that word around me... i guess you dont really need to if you let your son watch any tv whatsoever and they teach it in school...

I peiced everything together myself from friends, books, and other stuff >< My parents never talk about it at all. Not anything about it. Although I can't say I'm not releived, I'd rather have peiced it together myself (and I know I've got my facts right >< *blech*) then have an awkward conversation about such a thing. Yep, I'm one of those kids who are ashamed of it and proud! The kids at my school are nothing like that, and hense I know I'm right. *cough**cough* and that's from a child experience I am not willing to explain*cough**cough*
But with your child just be honest and try and make it as less awkward as possible. *shivers*

And my mom's even a doctor!
