Talk about SEX

When do you know its a good time, or better what is a good age, to talk about sex to your child....How do you know they can process the information properly? And what all do you talk about? eg...oral sex, anal sex, STDs etc.....

I asked this question because 2 weeks after school started for my 13 yr old daughters, there bus mate was talking about how sexually active she was and other girls joined in stating there still virgins because they only do oral sex or anal sex.  Now these girls are all in the 8th grade.  So yeah I had a detailed (but not to graphic) conversation with my daughters and also told them that is how peer pressure starts, so next time excuse yourself from the conversation.

Now, my co-worker was called by the Principle at her son school and was told to come pick her son up.  For he was being suspended from school (by the way he's 6th grade).  Because he was caught in a compramising position with a little girl (7th grade) in the bathroom.  Her son said the girl kept asking him if she could see his penis and after his friends encouraging him to show her, he did and she wanted to touch it, so he let her and then she wanted to suck it.  So he let her and thats when they were caught by a staff member.  What would have happened if they had more time?

About 2 yrs ago in a nearby school they had a break out of Stripe Throat.  About 10 kids had stripe.  It became a concern for the health department.  All 10 kids 3 boys and 7 girls had the same stran.  Once questioned all girls were virgins but admited to having oral sex with at least one or two of the boys 6th grade girls and 7th grade boys.  For the boys it was a game to see how many girls they could get to blow them.

WOA!!!

I think When the Child Starts To Seem Curious Or Ask Questions Start The Talks, It should Be The Truth No Suga Coat! And Yes Talk About It All! You Kid Isnt Stupid, When u Talk They Will Listen And Take It In, They Pick Up On Everything Else In This World A sex Talk Wont Miss Em. Its Better That You Tell Them And They Feel Comfortable asking You Verses Them Gettng The Wrong Info From There Friends Or Even Now They Can Goggle It ThemSelves...

Wow...I would not go into detail with my child if I were you. I say talk about the basics and then let him or her ask you any questions they like....still only give them as much as they need not detailed information that will come later in life.

Depends on the maturity of your child. Age is not the question but a true understanding of the information is your answer. I sat my daughter down at 9. It worked for us and I felt she was mature enough to handle the basics first. Other topics surrounding sex and diseases came about 11 and when she gotten her period pregnancy came at 12.

I think it's important to be honest right from the beginning. My mother started talking to me about sex from about the age of four or five. Nothing deep, just parts of the body and how female parts are different from male. Then when I was aroun six or seven my friend's mom was pregnant and the kids at school had all kind of wild notions about how the baby got there and how it comes out so my mom explained that to me as well. The conversations about oral, anal, diseases came when I was much older and usually when I talked to her about what my friends were saying or doing. Our relationship was always cool like that.
