Just be completely open, honest, and always give an informed answer and not one from a personal viewpoint. I always gave all my kids an answer that they could rely on being factual rather than one that was from my own viewpoint. Sometimes ones personal beliefs can cloud the truth and that only hinders things.

You tackle this head on. Tell him he can ask you anything and take an interest in his life. Give him plenty of time to talk to you and answer any questions he may have without showing embarasment. I have two teenage sons and believe me they have had some right graphic questions. I have answered everything completley and I know exactly what is going on in there lives. Just be open and honest.

i just answer the questions honestly. When they ask about when is it right to have sex. Tell them it has to be intimate and respectful. Don't know how old your son is but I start right away about save sex, and the possible health risks involved. I also explain that if they engage in sex too young, or too soon, it is not intimate and may even spoil it for when they are older and they really want it to mean something. I also say I really don't think your ready and I really don't want you to but more than that I want to know when you go down that road. Not to lecture them but to keep an open relationship with them and help them if they start to have health concerns or wonder if it was right. Good luck.
