The other day I asked a question about telling my twin 16 year old boys I had posed in Playboy college edition

Question

when I was 21 years old.....our maid found a copy of Playboy in one of their rooms and told me about it....my husband put the magazine back in his room and told me he would handle it, that it was a guy thing.....I asked him later if he told the boys, and he said no.....now wasnt the right time...do you agree?

Answer 1

you probably should have told then before they saw it....annd then never let them see it...ha

Answer 2

I think they should have been told by now. They are all too likely to hear about it in the wrong way. I bought some pinup mags when I was 10 years old, including PLAYBOY. Dad found them when I was age 11 and said no one who read such mags can go to heaven. I told him I did not want to go to such a grim, boring, depressing place, even if it did exist, and I was glad indeed that it does not. If Mom had been in PLAYBOY, she could have told me long before I was age 16. Maybe I saw your pix when I was a kid.

Answer 3

Unless the copy of Playboy found in your son's room is THE edition you are in, don't worry about it. There is no reason for the twins to be told right now. Eventually they will need to know since your oldest son knows, but not now. When you do tell them down play as just a schoolgirl joke, if you make it nothing they'll make it nothing. (My older sister posed for Playboy back in the 1970's, she told no one at all. We lived in a small town then and when her edition hit the stands every male in town knew who she was yet only the family had anything negative to say.) Somethings should never be told while there is a time and place for others. This is a 'time and place' situation. I wish you all the best.

Answer 4

Yes, right now they would say 'GROSS"..  I might not mention it and when they find out and say something. I would act like it's just not a big deal. And follow that with "Did you think that I was born old?" How does your eldest Son feel about it? That would tell me a lot. I know that "007" has to be proud. I see it as a great life experience for you. I bet it was more fun than being Homecoming Queen.. Yep, just think how many young ladies there were and to be chosen from so many is great..

OK, about the new car, how good did "007" do? I'm betting it's a two seater. color drk grey (we spell it that way in the South) or black.. Nope, 007 would go with RED..

Congrats on the Anniversary, You both are blessed...

Answer 5

That would makes me wonder all kinds of things. Like did he give it to them? Does he think it's fine?

You need to dig deeper with him on this until you're satisfied.

"Now is not the right time" is not enough of an answer.

I believe his reasons maybe be valid and his intention is the right one. You just need and deserve to know the why behind his reasoning.

Answer 6

uhhhhhhh yeah i agree not a good time....

Answer 7

Now isn't the right time. The right time would be never. No one wants to hear there's naked pictures of their mother floating around out there.

Answer 8

I don't really think they need to know right now. How would they ever find out? I would wait until they are out of college and mature enough to handle it. If you tell them now, they will brag to there friends, someone will look it up.....and you will be humilated....etc etc.

As for them reading Playboy, big deal. Boys will be boys. Now is the time however to explain to them how to be responsible when it comes to s*x and about all the scary STD's out there. If they don't look at Playboys at home, they will at their friends house.
