Is sexual curiosity normal for a 13 year old boy if he or she hasn't been told yet about s*x?

Question

Is sexual curiosity normal for a 13 year old boy if he or she hasn't been told yet about s*x?

Answer 1

Of course it is.  When we are born, we already have the building blocks to procreate.  It's instinct.

Answer 2

Just because you haven't told them about it, doesn't mean they haven't been told or "educated" by others and the media.

Any adolescent going through puberty is going to be curious. Things are happening with their bodies, they're having responses to things that before this have never happened.

Answer 3

Yes it is normal and I would be talking to them right now. s*x education should actually be an going thing that should start at a very young age.

Unless you have been living in the desert or in space, I think your child's peers will have already done a bit of talking to them???

Answer 4

Yeah its normal! should know the facts by now though, think it's time for a talk about the birds and the bee's! xx

Answer 5

Yes , that is when the species is most apt to reproduce. It's nature.

You have conformed to societies rules (which is fine ) , but the boy has yet to.

Have you seen the movie blue lagoon ? it is about a boy and girl who were stranded alone on an island , and discover s*x , and love on their own.

Answer 6

Of course it's normal.  So is wanting to have s*x.

Answer 7

did you tell your dog about s*x before he started humping everything insight? NO

or maybe you did

Answer 8

Yes it is perfectly normal. Hormones are raging and curiosity and "experimentation" should be expected. But not all experimentation is acceptable. Be sure to keep this in mind

Answer 9

yes, what I knew about s*x when I was in 2nd grade nobody had to tell me

Answer 10

oh definitely. they're reaching the age where they probably should be TOLD about it anyway.

Answer 11

yes and if a parent has never had a s*x talk- she may have lots of half facts. my daughter and i have had ongoing talks since she was 4 or 5.

Answer 12

............... YEA

Answer 13

YOU THINK HE DOESNT KNOW?

I KNOW AND IM YOUNGER THEN HIM

AND I KNOW FOR A WHILE AGO SO I BELIVE HE KNOWS EVAN THOUGH YOU DONT MY PARENTS HAVENT TOLD ME =x

Answer 14

Why haven't they been told about s*x?  At 13 they are entering puberty they should know what it is they are going through at least, and that is part of s*x.  Obviously someone has been negleting their parental duties.

Answer 15

Yes, ofcourse and you should talk to him now before he becomes active.

Answer 16

I have an 8 yr old girl and a 12 yr old boy and a 15 yr old girl. s*x is an open subject in my house. Of course it is discussed at a appropriate time. Sexual feelings and urges is completely normal at your child's age. It might be hard on your son to open up and talk to you about it if it has been a closed matter all these yrs, but you need to try. There wasn't a set age I told my child about s*x, just when they had ?'s I would answer them honestly. I never said the stork brought babies. I completely disagree with parents who lie to their children about s*x. Make sure he understands all the reasons he must wait. Tell him their is nothing shameful about the way he is feeling. My 15 yr old just told me she is starting to think about s*x all the time. She said all her friends are doing it now. I am glad she is waiting. I also get worried as you are, but get that open communication going ASAP, and hopefully you will know when it is getting out of hand. As they get older I am big on birth control. I don't think it gives them permission to have s*x, but you know teens. If they want to bad enough they are going to do it, and I don't want an unwanted pregnancy or a disease that will kill them. I hope this helps. It has worked so far in my house.

Answer 17

Of course it's normal. At 13 the child would be hitting puberty and they would get instincts and urges etc. Also they probably have been told about s*x somehow.

Answer 18

yes, by 13 usually their hormones are starting up, s*x is a natural act and every mammal on earth has the drive to breed, humans are no different and when they are old enough to be going through puberty it is normal to become curious about what is going on

Answer 19

Yes it's normal.  Why not start having those talks now.

Answer 20

Oh jeez, believe me- a 13 year old nowadays knows about s*x. If you haven't told them someone else has- other kids, school, tv, etc...

Answer 21

Yes and did you know a boy usually starts producing SPERM about age 12? Some girls also their period as young as age 8!

Telling someone about s*x isn't required for their interest to start.

I think the days of "the talk" in high school are over. We should be educating our children about the beauty and DANGERS associated with s*x much younger than in the past.

Answer 22

Of course that is normal...any child of puberty age will be curious.  And it is time to discuss the facts with a child that age.

Answer 23

Yes, you need to tell your kid about s*x. Now is the right age.

Answer 24

No.  I would forget about it all till your 25.  Pretend it doesn't exist.  It will only give you trouble.
