What age did your male children start asking about s*x questions? How direct of answers should be given?

Question

My son that is 11 and in going in the 6th grade has heard from his friends about blow jobs (bj's) p***s size, moaning sounds.....kids talk. When I grew up, nothing of this matter was ever talked about (born '76).

Answer 1

From everything I have read, answers should be as scientific as possible.. and age appropriate. Don't lie but you do not have to disclose everything. Getting him informed is a good thing because you want him to be making smart decisions about s*x in the future. Good luck!

Answer 2

I had 'planned' on having the talk about 12yrs old.....then my son came home one day (at 10yrs old) and asked if he really had to 'blah, blah' when he grew up!!   He had a friend that WATCHED his parents the night before and came to school and with great detail, explained it all to his friends.  

I answered each and every question and tried not to make him feel embarrassed.  You can explain/answer the questions without going into things that he is too young for.

Answer 3

Just recently (last week) my 10 year old was asking what a "period" is.  I decided it was time to talk about puberty and s*x.  Tell him the truth of everything otherwise he will learn from others what may or may not be the truth!  Just be honest and serious with him!

Answer 4

My eldest son is 11, going on 12 and we have had 'the talk' and I told him everything he asked about. It actually went really well and he said it helped when he was having his s*x education class in school as he understood the long words they used. Kids learn a lot younger now as s*x is, well, everywhere. If the question is direct, give a direct answer. After answering, give them a chance to ask for more details. And use the real names for things lol. Good luck!

Answer 5

It is important to talk to your kids directly and honestly about sexual subjects because what they don't learn from you  they WILL learn from their friends. If you talk to them about it like its no big deal, they will feel more comfortable talking to you about it later, and you are less likely to become  a grandparent before you are ready!

Answer 6

   s*x education was just an experiment when I entered 5th grade over 30 years ago, and I knew a lot from the street by then, first got interested by the super mini- in around 1968 so age 7, you may be waiting too long, had a girl friend by age 12,
