I was just curious, because every time I hear/read those questions teenagers ask about sex and whatnot, I'm always somewhat appalled they don't know that already.

So, the question is of course, how/are you going to talk to them about sex, and are you going to be tolerant and accepting of them having sex?

I am going to appoint a Czar to teach them.

Turn off the porn filters on the interwebz and leave the room. They'll figure it out.

Somehow I doubt they're going to learn HEALTHY sexuality from that...

Should I have kids I'm going to tell them in a laid back but educating way. If you go in all serious and stuff then you'll make yourself and your child nervous about it. Talk about it openly and in a relaxed manner allows the child to ask questions more openly.

Winner!


Hilarious consequence of multi choice polls: 3 options have 100%, two have 33.33% Yay for 366.66%!

School can do it.

I was hoping for serious answers.

It's only something like 20% of this forum who even plan to have kids at all, if I remember that poll right.. most aren't going to consider it a serious question. ;)

I will let my robot butler explain it.

I might have to explain that tentacle rape happens very rarely in real life.

Wow, H N Fiddlebottoms, you're going to have some interesting teenagers...

I'm going to maximize my experience with the internet in this paticular case. :)

Well, I believe in hands on learning, so I'll probably be sent to prison for 35 years.

Urmm I'll give them the intarweb, and let nature take its course. Also, I'll answer any questions that they have.

I don't think it's a good idea to try and force the issue, though. Let their peers do as much of it as possible, I say.

You skipped Junior High and High School, didn't you? Trust me on this one, I don't think that's a very good idea...

Claim Jesus told you to, it'll make the story amusing.

*Your Catholic Priest joke here*

Practical lessons...

Just kidding, I dunno - it's a fair way off. I think probably when they ask where babies come from I'll give them an honest answer and tell them about it.

This isn't going to turn into another incest thread, is it?

They'll learn first hand where babies come from pretty quickly.

Be a grandad by the time you're 40! Yay!



Sad - but I knew a girl who made her mother a grandmother at the age of 28 :(

Err... no, I'm actually at the equivalent of High School (16-18 in the states = High School, correct?) at the moment, no?

And since we have quite good sex education here in the UK, I don't think that leaving it in the hands of the education system and their peers is a particularly crapulent idea, all things considered, especially since I don't (and I'd imagine won't) mind talking about sex, and therefore if there's anything needing more information from them, they could always come to me about it.

Sad - but I knew a girl who made her mother a grandmother at the age of 28 :(

Wow, that can't be great for her self-esteem. "Man, I feel so young today!" "Hey Gramma!" "No, no I don't."

But man, guess it's one of those times where bad sexual decisions run in the family. For the kid to be old enough to have a kid when the woman is that age, she'd have to have been 17 or 18, tops...

There's always the chance, isn't there?

That's not true!

If I hadn't listened to my jr high friends I'd never know you could bet pregnant from a really long kiss or butt secks.

I have every intention of answering any questions asked as honestly as possible. I don't believe in lying to kids and I despise all those ridiculous euphemisms parents use to mislead their children... Seriously, bullshitting the younger generation has practically become an end unto itself!

There is nothing dirty, immoral, or disturbing about sex; pretending there is and cultivating a poor view of sex is NOT responsible. Neither is allowing peers, the media, or (God forbid) the government. If my kids are going to learn about sex from anyone, it's going to be me.

My parents dropped the ball on this one with me. I'm not going to make the same mistake.

That's not true!

So, the question is of course, how/are you going to talk to them about sex, and are you going to be tolerant and accepting of them having sex?

I'll teach them the same way I learned. That 70s Show. I'll be pretty tolerant about it, as long as they use a condom, and allow abortions. I'll let them date as well, just because my parents won't. (Nyah!)

I selected threatening boyfriends/etc. but I'm not going to restrict who they date. I already have most of my little sister's exes living in mortal terror of me. I guess I'm just an asshole like that.

Ah - perhaps the more proper utensils might have been some field glasses, National Geographic, and the back pew of the church?

if they are old enough to ask, they are old enough for a truthful answer. I am indoctrinating them though that their bodies are their own and they don't have to ever do something they don't want to, and that anyone who says they should needs to be drop kicked.

Sounds about right. Also, remember, nothing gets a prospective boyfriend to not f- around like something along the following phrase:
"I have a large back yard and a shovel. I doubt anyone would miss you much."

I visited my sister's school a few months back, and one of her exes, who I had never met before, had to practically be dragged over by my sis to say hi to me. And he certainly looked scared.

When I first started talking about sex with my daughter, I did it by pulling out an old Anatomy textbook at the dinner table. We looked at pictures, etc. Sex ed was important because I want her to break the teenage motherhood cycle that runs in her mom's side of the family--her mom was pregnant at 17, her grandmother at 18, her half-brother's girlfriend at 17. You can see why I worry.

She's 16 now, living with her mother, but she's as prepared as I could make her while she lived with me.

Wow, that can't be great for her self-esteem. "Man, I feel so young today!" "Hey Gramma!" "No, no I don't."

14 and 14.

I think the girl was 14 when she gave birth. She might have been 13.


She said a few times (before the baby) that she and her mum had more of a sister relationship than a mother daughter one. I think what happened in the end is that the mother adopted her kid and raised them as sisters.

Umm...what? I'm confuzzled...

The Smunkee Family: where even indoctrination is done in a wintastic manner.

my husband has told the girls "I have friends in the government" and they seem to nod and smile knowing he really does. It's not exactly as redneck as the shovel and backyard bit.......but it's truly terrifying.

This is the first time in my life I or my methods have been called redneck. Thank you from the bottom of my heart :p

Not 'English' but Imperial.

Particulary since most things in the UK are now measured in metric - People and Roads being the exception.

I would never want to have children, but in the EXTREMLEY unlikely event that I changed my mind, I would tell them honestly when they asked where babies came from, and when they reached puberty I would make sure they knew about birth control/STD's, etc.

Wasn't your country cursed by some wandering know-it-all a while back?

I was just curious, because every time I hear/read those questions teenagers ask about sex and whatnot, I'm always somewhat appalled they don't know that already.

So, the question is of course, how/are you going to talk to them about sex, and are you going to be tolerant and accepting of them having sex?

My kids are going to know how to learn--that is, how to pay attention to their surroundings, how to research, and otherwise how to gather information themselves--so they'll probably ask me about it a lot earlier than most kids. Because I am a nice parent and I do not treat my kids as if they are idiots simply because they are kids, I will inform them of everything, the details for what it is, what it feels like, the consequences, the dangers and potential rewards, ect ect.

In other words, as with everything else, I will refuse to "protect the innoncence" of my children.

I am very open with my children and will willingly answer any question they have. I would insist that they use birth control if they are going to have sex. However, I would be more protective when it comes to who they date. There are just too many wackos out there to let my kids "suffer the consequences" on their own, though I wouldn't necessarily be all controlling. Just cautions.

In other words, as with everything else, I will refuse to "protect the innoncence" of my children.

Hoo-rah! *shakes fist*

Bring 'em on down here to NS. I'm sure a few of us will still be around, like Corneliu ....

I'll patiently explain that when a man and a woman love each other very much, they go to Sears and buy the assembly kit.

Except for them. My kids were half-off at Wal-Mart. Almost as good, if a bit glitchy.

Hoo-rah! *shakes fist*

Bring 'em on down here to NS. I'm sure a few of us will still be around, like Corneliu ....

Sure...they could use the nice intellectual discussion.

Of course, this assumes NS will still be around when I finally have kids...I'm only twenty right now. No idea when I could be having kids...probably not for several years yet at the earliest.

Hey now. Logic that goes in a circle is perfect because there is no beginning and no end...

If we have children, I'll make absolutely sure they know what it's all about, that they can ask me/us anything, that doctors aren't allowed to squeal and can answer their questions just as well as we can, that protection is fucking important, and... Hopefully I'll manage to convince myself that anything interested in fucking my wee ones, isn't per definition a vile psychopathic paedophile that I'll have to hunt down and kill very, very slowly.

It's probably good I don't have any teenagers.

I'll explain it to my kids the old-fashioned way: Sock puppets and funny voices.

Oh dear god!

Two of our children are adopted and were severely sexually abused at very young ages so all of our kids have learned about sex younger than most since the kiddos acted out what they knew. We were open, supportive, and never tried to skirt any questions. Our kids are still young 8 months, 4, 5, 7, and 12 but we have a very good line of communication. Our oldest is a beautiful girl and dating an "older" (14) boy so we've upped the talking about safety and such but they are comfortable coming to us.

On a different note, I learned from 3 very graphic romance novels I smuggled into my room. My high school boyfriends were especially lucky because I thought that the scenes in the book were the way to go these books just happened to be mainly focused on the guys' pleasure and had lots of oral situations. I'm glad I figured out eventually that sex can be all sorts of different ways, and a lot less tiring. :)

Oh dear god!

Arrh, a death-cult be birthed here, methinks!

I will treat the subject the same way my parents did. I'll be honest and open, and I will encourage them to be careful and safe. And while I won't tell them not to have sex, since millions of years of evolution are going to be more compelling than an order from me could be, I will point out that sex for many, if not most people, has a very heavy emotional side to it. I'll let them know that I'll answer any question they have that I can, and if I don't know the answer, I'll say as much.

I could not agree more.

Kids are a LONG way away for me, but I'm not going to force-feed my future bundles of joy so retarded "just say no" message that strokes the yellow bellies of arrogant uberfundies. No, I'm actually going to give them (or him or her) all the information I would know about sex. IF there is a question I can't answer, I will go to the Planned PArenthood site or something to get that answer. If a kid is old enough to ask questions,they are old enough to receive the answers.

Hoo-rah! *shakes fist*

Bring 'em on down here to NS. I'm sure a few of us will still be around, like Corneliu ....

Sorry! I just had to do it :D

My son is 12, which just happens to be the age that almost every guy I have ever talked to lost his virginity. Yes, I am concerned.

I have always answered his questions about sex honestly. He has a book that explains everything from puberty to how the body functions to HIV and STDs. He's taken sex ed in school the past couple of years. I even just recently bought him condoms, much to his embarassment, and had his father demonstrate (over the arm) how they are meant to be used. I'm fine if they go unused, but I feel it is better to have them around just in case. He views the human body, both male and female, as completely natural and is not afraid to talk about anything regarding sexuality.

I'd prefer that he feels like he can come and talk to me about anything and everything without fearing judgement no matter what.

How do sock puppets make him a monster? Admittedly it's a way of treating one's kids as if they are idiots and thus they are a lot less likely to listen...

Oh. I see now.

Yeah, liek the whole "Speedy the Sperm" (aka a throw pillow with a piece of crepe paper attached to it :rolleyes:) the anti-sex teachers tried on us in seventh grade.

Oh, thank the Lord! I have the feeling that he'll wait it out a while. He's just now starting to show an interest in the opposite sex -more specifically asians. At least he's got good taste.

My son is 5 and very curious about how babies are made because he knows just enough to notice that it takes a girl and a boy to make one, yet is confused because of course he notices that he has two dads as opposed to a mom and a dad.

So he asked me one day how babies are made, and I simply told him straight forward without a blink of the eye; "babies are made when a girl and a boy engage in intercourse." Being five, he of course had no idea what I said, and asked me what intercourse was, and I said "it's a special relationship between a boy and a girl, and you'll know what I'm talking about when you get older," and he left it at that.

Another time, he asked me when he was allowed to kiss other boys. This one caught me off guard a bit, because I never knew 5 year olds were this curious, I know I sure wasn't. I told him he should wait until he's much older to see if he really wants to kiss boys or not. He shook his head in agreement and went on to play with his Wii.

I think once it gets to the real talk it will be a breeze, I have confidence he'll understand and know the consequences when the time comes, because I'm very open with him and will explain everything with no strings attached; just straight forward truthful answers.

I just simply hope he doesn't make the same mistake I did and have unprotected sex at 14. God, I really hope not; I'd hate to have to ruin his life and make him grow up at that age.

I'd be blunt and honest about it if they're at the appropriate age. (Generally 12/13 sounds about right as its when puberty kicks in.) If they ask, I'll answer.

If they want more detail, well... I'll just 'point them in the right direction'. *coughinternetcough*.

Well, I believe in hands on learning, so I'll probably be sent to prison for 35 years.
I was gonna word it differently, but we had the same answer.

Yeah I can imagine it being more difficult to handle sex-related questions for same-sex couples (though not that much more difficult). Patched things up with your fiancee, I take it?

I put a guilt trip on my fiancee by using my son as a tool of guilt. He couldn't leave the little darling wondering where daddy #2 went to never return. ;)

How am I going to educate them? Islamically. Meaning that I will teach them to wait until marriage. I will also be sending them to an Islamic private school InshAllah to avoid unnecessary temptation or negative influences.

I have a 12 year old daughter, so this a tough question. I can honestly say that I have told her the truth, in spite of the fact her mother should have had to do it. (Even though she is stark raving mad, and will probaly pretend there is no such thing as sex, at least until she's a grandma, stupid bitch)

Well, in 10-20 years if I ever get kids, I will let them have all the sex they want but teach them about how to make it safe.

1, 4, 7 and 10.

I'm only 16 and I like abortions so I don't plan on having kids until at least another 14 years.

I been meaning to talk to my daughter about sex.

Even gathered some pamplets and headed up to her room to do it the other day.

But she was busy breastfeeding her baby so I decided to come back some other time.

How do sock puppets make him a monster?....


Because I operate three sock puppets at once.

Same way my mother did me. When they ask a question, I'll answer it. In an age appropriate fashion of course. Meaning I won't be giving them diagrams and educational videos at 5. They can wait til I'm done with them first :p

That's not a monster, that's a man!

Although it is extremely unlikely that I will ever have children, in the event that I do, I will wait until they ask me about it, then explain everything, including the risks. After that, they can go out and have sex all they want. If they end up diseased or pregnant, I will support them, but I will also make them realize how stupid they have been.

What about when they're five and ask you what sex is?

They probably wont survive past age 7..

So, yeah, I don't really need to worry.

What about when they're five and ask you what sex is?

I'll tell them it's how babies are made. If they have follow-up questions, I'll answer those. But I doubt they'll care very much about the precise mechanics of it at that age.
I found out first-hand at the age of six and it would have been considerably less traumatic if I had known what was going on at the time.

My son is 12, which just happens to be the age that almost every guy I have ever talked to lost his virginity. Yes, I am concerned.
I lost mine on the day my girlfriend at the time was legal, so I was sixteen as well as her (we'd been in a relationship for a couple of years by that point), so I didn't lose it at twelve.

I'm hoping to have a good enough relationship with my children, that if they need/want to ask me anything they can. And hopefully we'll be able to talk about like adults.....

Outside of that I have no clue. But since my daughters nearly six months old, i think I've got a little time to work it out

well i didn't have any and i'm to the age now it is unlikely i ever will.

i think one of the options that should have been on the poll but wasn't is:

"i will get them on "the pill" or equivelant there is for either gender and insist on their staying on it as long as they remean my dependents and i am legaly liable for certain of their behaviour. as a matter of personal concern for my own legal liabilities"

i'm not that open myself that i'd be likely to tell them any more then they asked, but i certainly wouldn't be deceptive or coercive about anything if they did!

(none of this cabbage patches and storks crap, that's for damd sure)

i have no axes of fanatical belif to grind, other then i think there's too many humans in this world already, so the more they can avoid adding to it the better.

What about when they're five and ask you what sex is?

"sex is another word for gender, like boy and girl or male and female, if someone is sexy they look a lot like their gender, for example, daddy is sexy because he looks like a man"

:p

not that my kids ever asked that.....they ask things like

"why do you and dad still have sex if you don't want any more kids?"
"because it's fun"
"it sounds gross"
"it is gross when you think about it" :eek:
"grownups are stupid sometimes"
":( I know"

let the public school system deal with it

I don't even trust the public school system to teach my kids basic things, much less that.

Quoted for a whole lot of truth.

How am I going to educate them? Islamically. Meaning that I will teach them to wait until marriage. I will also be sending them to an Islamic private school InshAllah to avoid unnecessary temptation or negative influences.
What happened to 'I don't want to brainwash my kids'? :confused:

Oh nice. NOT!! Just because you do that is not going to mean that there won't be temptation.

Oh brother. :rolleyes: Never trust the PUblic Schools to teach about Sex.

He has to find the right Muslim lady who is willing to be beaten first and follow all the "proper" Islamic laws that Sovietstan here subscribes too. Good luck with that in America.

I was gonna word it differently, but we had the same answer.
Great minds become cell mates, as they say.

I can still teach my children Islam while still showing them what other faiths believe and different POV.

I think I hear something about non-believers should be killed?

But you're going to send them to an Islamic private school. To avoid temptations... perhaps including other faiths?

I will tell them that babies are born by sitting in the same chair as a girl, within thirty minutes after a girl has sat in it. I will devise myths and stories designed to freak out and terrify the children.


J/K, J/K

I was hoping for serious answers.

Foolish. :)

Kids don't really need to know about sex.
Young Adults maybe. But if I do have kids, (which will be a very very very very very very VERY long time away), I'd answer all necessary questions.
Also, where I'm from, children have a fairly good sex education anyway, so, I wouldn't really need to explain, anyway.

I think I hear something about non-believers should be killed?

I've never said non-believers should be killed simply for being non-believers.

No but Islam does.

No temptations like the opposite sex and western influences they would have in a public school. For instance in Islamic school the boys and girls have seperate classes and don't intermix. Also they take time out for Salat and I believe have Qur'an reading as well.

No but Islam does.

show me where.

show me where.

Kinda hard to do so when I do not have a Qu'ran available. Your the one that is islamic. Show me where it doesn't.

I would just say everything I know about, including that some people don't like to talk about it. One thing I know for sure is not until you're 16, and not with anyone over 18 until you yourself reach that age. Too much scope for exploitation. And I know that unless you intend to have a baby, birth control is a necessity. And that you should think long and hard before having a baby and discuss it with the other person and other people you trust.

I know I know that much, and I'd rather surprised if anyone disagreed.

I learned how babies were made back when I was 5.

No, the burden of proof is on you. You must show me where it says to kill non-believers for being non-believers or you need to be quiet and quit spreading this rubbish.

WHAT???!!! Whole crap. Where did this come from?
Your impending world domination.
Read what I choose for the poll options.
Well, that's more of a crop circle:

:D

Not much of a choice between "threaten all their boyfriends/girlfriends" and "if they screw up it's their own fault"...can't we just say that we'll "guide" them to date the right people, and I'll interfere if the boy/girlfriend is really bad or unhealthy to be in a relationship, and I'll accept them if they are a responsible person?

No temptations like the opposite sex

Be careful there.

Your children may not be straight.

Kinda hard to do so when I do not have a Qu'ran available.You mean "It's kinda hard when I really, really don't want to debunk myself with one of the free, online transcriptions" (http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/) - Right?Your the one that is islamic. Show me where it doesn't.You're the one making a positive claim. How about you do your own homework and lift your own burden of proof?

Aside from that, why would you - a socially conservative nightmare made flesh - criticise Sovie? Replace Islam with Christianity and what he wants to do is no different from all the socially conservative shite you're always promoting.

Corny you're.. So very special.

Replace Islam with Christianity and what he wants to do is no different from all the socially conservative shite you're always promoting.

Indeed, if I recall a few of my previous conversations with Corneliu correctly, he believes that non-believers will be tortured for eternity in Hell by decree of the all-loving deity he worships.

Pots, kettles, and all that....

Wasn't your country cursed by some wandering know-it-all a while back?

I'm afraid I don't understand the question, unless you're referring to America, in which case, YES! A wandering idiot took the entire damn country over! Help us!

When it comes to talking about 'the birds and the bees' I assume it will probably be a competition to see who can gross out the other more. I shall be merciful though, and refrain from discussing certain kinks and fetishes - unless they really piss me off that is.

As for the birth control options. I couldn't answer that decisively. For instance I want them to have protected sex, but I wouldn't want any teenage hormonal girls on the pill thankyouverymuch. One's their bodies have stabilised their hormone levels then they can start screwing with their hormone levels with chemicals, but not before. Otherwise, use a fricking condom and protect yourself from STIs as well. Condoms - yes, the pill - no.

Well, I am sure version 2.0 will either ask Allanea and me what that noise was last night or where he/she came from. Then I will tell him/her. I will not teach abstinence but I will let him/her calculate the risks of pregnancy despite a condom when I'll teach him percentages. I guess when he/she becomes active herself, I'll tell him/her where we put the condoms just so accidents are less likely...
