I let my kids know that it is something to be done alone in private. I am trying to teach my kids that thier sexuality is a normal natural part of life. What bothers me is the way sexuality is portrayed in our media. There is sexy and there is vulgar and perverse.

I do have to say this because it is funeeee! My son (12) asks us questions about sex. Well, he sees the commercials and keeps asking what male enhancement is. I didnt want to tell him at first. Finally after the millionth time I told him.

Me: Okay. You know how when you wake up in the morning and your penis is sticking up because you have to pee?

Son: Yeah

Me: Well, to have sex a mans penis has to stick up like that. Sometimes men have trouble getting it to do that, so they advertise these pills on tv that will help them make it stick up so they can have sex with thier wife.

Son: Ewwwwwww, that's grosssss!!!!! Why did you have to tell me that!!!!!!

Me: Well, I told you I didn't want to tell you, but you kept asking so I figured you were ready to know. Sorry.




Okay, he is 12. I am sure he has heard far more disgusting things from his friends at school. I am not naive enough to beleive no one knows about sex or discusses it in 6th grade.

It would be fine for you to agree with that if I had actually said it. I said I think it's disgusting, but as long as they do it in private, I don't care. The problem we had was our oldest son was using children's pictures and pictures taken out of my parenting magazines to 'help' him. THAT is what I would tell my kids is not okay.

I know - I was saying IF you had also told him it was disgusting - I think someone asked if you had, or that was how I read it anyway. I was responding to that.

You think it's disgusting...hmm

This could be why you're so uptight.

I kid... I kid
