How do I tell my son about the birds and the bees?
 

He’s 12 and will be 13 in a couple of months. We have a good relationship, but I just don’t know how to approach this. I sure he knows some stuff already. (We all thought we knew everything) Some of the reasons I haven’t told him yet …

1. I’m scared. Not sure of what… probably just the fact that he’s getting older.
2. Not sure how too go about it. Do I say penis, and vagina, or cock, and pussy? Do you mention oral, anal, or masturbation?
I need a pamphlet or something.
3. I don’t want him to tell his little brother or sister. Not a great reason, but it’s still there.


On a side note how old were you when you had the talk? Did it help?

Maybe you should talk to this guy. See what he figured out.

Let him watch you & the spouse ala "Meaning of Life."

Seriously, never had the talk. My Dad knew that I knew enough, and he gave me a Playboy when I was 13.

Have him do a search on Google for the "I love Matt video". He'll be more receptive to learning about the birds and bees from a girl his own age.

Show him the movie "swingers." Its full of great advice that should have him getting laid in no time.

Nor a Playboy gift from Dad. In fact, everything I learned was from various friends and sex-ed classes.

Did he give you a pack of cigarettes when you turned 14?

my parents never had the talk with me, my dad threw in "dont have sex without a condom" really randomly once or twice but other than that nothing.
