Facts of life....well sex talk!

I had to explain that the myth "if someone ejaculated in your eye you would go blind" was just a myth recently. It's definitely better to be open in my opinion, if they're curious they would only find out in other ways.

Like running into A&E at 3pm screaming that you're about to go blind because your boyfriend has terrible aim and you didn't have any goggles handy.

You'd be surprised at how gullible young girls can be.

Well, I came home today for my OH to tell me that my 12 year old daughter said to him that a boy from school found her G-Spot today!

Of course, what she meant was that he had found her "goo goo" spot ie he poked her in the ribs and she went all giggly and squirmy lol

He had a bit of a chat with her and basically explained what the G-spot is (as she asked).

But she didn't ask did she? She mixed up G-Spot and 'goo go' spot and you launched into the sex talk!

No problem with this, maybe it was a good ice breaker to talk about it!

I've learnt to clarify exactly what context a particular word has been used in before launching into the detailed sex talk.

I try to be as open as I can and answer questions as they come up - but frankly there is a time and place for it, and the supermarket queue isn't it. (I told him to ask his dad)

I try to answer as well as I can but always wonder if Im saying too much, or not enough [for my DDs age] since theres no 'rules' to follow; I just answer with whatever seems right, often including my opinion!! I do hear all sorts of preposterous 'facts' that theyve got from the playground though and I try to set them straight, too. My dd and I are definately a lot more open about this stuff than I was with my mum, even though my mum was pretty open, too.

I think there is a danger in giving them information they aren't quite ready to digest.

I bought DD a book that I had previously borrowed from the library (The period book, answers a lot of physiological questions for girls) and told her she could always ask questions and I would do my best to answer.
I've told OH it's his job to do the boys.:cool:

THAT is very good advice.

Advice to son: Unless you want to be financially responsible for a baby, toddler, pre-schooler, school child, teenager, student. Bag it and double bag it. Take no chances that 'she's on the pill'!

Advice to daughter: You are responsible for your body. You decide who can touch you. If you decide to have unprotected sex YOU are selling yourself short. Use contraceptives and make sure he double bags it.

I thought double bagging reduced efficacy of condoms? As they're more likely to split?

Mind you, the nurse when I had sex ed taught us that sperm make ladders out of each other to get through clothes and up the vagina if they're released anywhere in the vicinity of one.
