Facts of life....well sex talk!

mumof3plusoh

always honest with the kids in our house. tell them as much detail as they need to know and approprtate for their age. they go all giggly when they try to shock us 14 and 12 yr old. I always have the last laugh as I start talking about what they have asked and they usually become embarrassed and end the conversation. One thing we have always told them is to never be afraid to ask us anything and if they are worried about something to let us know.

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!

IMO it was probably a good idea anyway incase the daughter used "g spot" in the wrong context again but to someone else. Saves a fair bit of embarrassment for her too.

I actually read it as the girl realised that she'd used the wrong term and then asked what a g spot really is. Not that she used the term wrong and they just launched into a graphic explanation.

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

I assume his chat involved explaining that it doesn't exist and is just made up to make men feel bad and do more of the work!

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

Frighteningly so. Which is why the OP's open approach is admirable. We desperately need to educate kids so much better when it comes to sex. You only need to look at other European countries who's societies are actually far more sexualised than our's, but their education and attitudes toward sex are far superior, leading to a more responsible approach to sex by young people.

People should be honest with children even when it's difficult.

However, having said that, I remember thinking I was reeeeally clever when I was about 10. I said in an argument to my dad "I don't know how you two made my sister anyway... you're so fat and mum's so small, I bet you just squash her."

He then said "who said I was on top?" The idea of anything different had honestly never occured to me; I was mortified :embarasse Still, I've learnt to appreciate their honesty, even if I was emotionally scarred at the time :rotfl:

I had to explain that the myth "if someone ejaculated in your eye you would go blind" was just a myth recently.

Gonorrhoea can cause infective conjunctivitis. This is particularly serious when passed from a pregnant mother to a neonate and can cause blindness.

My mum was completely honest about anything I asked or was curious about, and we talked openly about boys, periods, drinking etc.

I hope I can be as open with my future kids, as it was great to know I had a 'grown up' I could ask, no matter how embarrassing the question.

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.

Love this, and agree with it. Would also add that sex is ideally for committed relationships and not casual one-nighters.

One son, 32, in long-term relationship, no grandchildren as yet and he says there never will be

Actually my son has always taken relationships very seriously and has never been interested in casual sex.
