How old when you tell your kids about s e x...

[Mandelon]

How old should your kids be when you go over the birds and the bees with your kids?
My son who is almost 12 asked me what a "virgin" was this morning. He was reading the newspaper and saw an ad for The 40 Year Old Virgin movie....
I explained that a virgin was someone who had not had sexual relations yet. I thought that was concise yet still pleasantly vague.. :hammerhea
Anyway I know its just about time for..."The Talk"......he doesn't quite have an interest in girls yet.....really. I know he likes one of my daughter's friends...I don't think he even realizes it. But he acts different when she is around....
Who has done this with their kids recently???? :cool:

[Flying Tiger]

Ya be right up front about sex talk with the kids from day one.

[Mandelon]

Come on Ross, a one day old won't understand..... :hammerhea :wink:
When did you explain that the wiener goes in the coochie and out comes a baby.....

[termiteguy]

16 and 17 yearold boys you are real close you will know when the time comes!

[NashvilleBound]

We always make sure when something is said or someone doesnt understand something we explain properly what it means....... this way its a learning curve...not the sit down shocker. Its not always easy or relaxed but its the right thing to do. If I had to guess, my kids would ask me anything at this point if it was bugging them..... the way it should be.

[Jbb]

Im still waiting for ...the talk

[Phat Matt]

Just take him to the mini sandbar on a big weekend and you can explain it then over a few beers. :)

[sintax]

just remember, if you wait until you think they are "ready" chances are they'll already know it, and may even have a few you dont know.
I was talking to my lil cousin (13) about if hes kissed a girl yet, i was not prepared for what he told me =\

[Mandelon]

He understands the general concepts, but I suppose the time is here to let him know that his "hot dog" is for more that just peeing..... :D
I can hear him now..." ya mean.... I put this.... in THERE?!?!?!?! :jawdrop: :jawdrop:

[NashvilleBound]

My almost 6 year old has already asked me some questions. I have been vague without offering all the "details", but I think he already has some idea of the basics.
Uh ya, 6 is a little young.....mine are 12 and 14.....

Tell him to put it in their butt and you won't have to worry about him knocking up some chick. :hammerhea

[Phat Matt]

can i call you DAD? :rollside:
Sure son. :)

[77charger]

you dont cover up you can get easy 18 year financing,or a trip to the doctor :idea:

[NashvilleBound]

He's very bright and mature. What are you going to do when they start asking? He won't buy the lie, I guarantee that. ;)
Well...maybe just not the direct truth...every kids different...so is the question....

Matt, you're killing me. :D :D
Mandy, just bring Mason to Vegas. We can take Justin & he to the Crazy Horse & let them figure it out. :jawdrop:

[Tom Brown]

I remember when my Dad gave me the talk.
I started giggling when he first used the word "girl" and haven't stopped since.

[Phat Matt]

Matt, you're killing me. :D :D

Another great idea. :D

[HocusPocus]

i have 2 schools of thought on this subject and being the father for 4 kids.
1. when they are old enough to ask you about it, they are old enough to learn about it.
2. let'em learn it on the streets.
:supp:

[Debbolas]

Ok, first I was raised by hippies, which means my mother used ANY chance to use the words vagina and penis.............I can't remember NOT knowing about it.
So I told my children very young when they first asked....add a refresher when they enter junior high and high school and college.....but by then they usually don't want to listen, so my advice is to get them educated while they are young, so it's not so strange......
IMO

My nephew is 11 years old. He's a very precocious kid. The other day I asked him if he knew about the birds and the bees. He said, "I can only assume they f**k like people do." --Jonathan Katz

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking. So many parents, even the "cool, hip" ones aren't aware of what their kids already know.
Be proactive!

[76ANTHONY]

i told my daughter when she was born about sex, i said never have sex. pretty simple, i think shes got the point. now that shes 3, she still doesnt like boys, i think its workin :D :D :D

[Goldilocks]

Whatever my parents said to me worked! I was scared to have sex. I didn't want to get pregnant.

Now you all know why we aren't married yet or have any kids yet! :jawdrop: :D

[Tom Brown]

... because Matt's jamming it in your ass?

[ThongMagnet]

Just say: I'm too young to be a grandparent, and your to young to pay child support. :argue:

[JetBoatRich]

Keep the communications open and needs to go both ways :cool: you will know when the time is right :eek:

[76ANTHONY]

show him a medical book on the inside of a vagina :D :D :D :D

[Kilrtoy]

I would start at 10 years old.....
and when kids ask the question answer them.....
As some already stated, By the time you think they are ready, they are probably already doing it.....

[***boateditor]

The first time I had sex was very scary indeed.
I was all alone! :D :D :D

[Tom Brown]

show him a medical book on the inside of a vagina :D :D :D :D

Class is in. :cool:

How did you guess :messedup:

[Tom Brown]

How did you guess :messedup:
I read Matt's earlier posts.

[meaniam]

by the time i was 10 i saw my first 2 racks and already had girlfriends. by 12 or 13 i had already discovered strange. it sucked and was ackward then i waited tell 10th high school cuase i felt rushed by girlfreind and felt akward.
i feel 10 is a very respectful age to tell them what can happen when surfing the wet tunnel. and buy them some condoms. so when they get the first chance to try them out they will out of curiosty. hopefully sometime latter. i didnt really have the balls to walk up to the counter tell 16 to buy them so i would rip them off. and it would have sucked getting cuaght jacking condoms

[meaniam]

show him a medical book on the inside of a vagina :D :D :D :D
playboy is not very informative get a hustler or hustler xxx

[riverbound]

LMAO.... I just spit coffe all over my computer :D

[Ziggy]

Just say: I'm too young to be a grandparent,:
That just happened to me Friday Nite..... :rollside: :rollside: I'm a G'Pa. :p
.
So don't try that method Richard....be up front and talk about it.....Think back at what age you became interested in your weiner, then girls and what the two together meant.....I think 12 is a resonable age to start the talks.
