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

[joeski19]

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?
