Question

What do you do when your 9 year old daughter becomes interested in s*x?

Answer 1

Talk to her about it openly and honestly. Tell her the pros the cons. Talk to her about responsibility. It's best to be open and honest with her now from the beginning, that way she will know that she can come to you if she needs to in the future.

Answer 2

Talk to her honestly about it. The more information you give her the better off she is (of course you dont have to tell her the mechanics of it, shes a bit young for that). Talk about how beautiful it can be with someone you love, that she should never let a man take advantage of her and never have s*x until theres no question in her mind that shes ready. Inform her of the risks of STDs and pregnancy....

Answer 3

talk to her about s*x and tell her to not worry about having s*x right now, she'll have lots of time for that. But don't let her watch or read things that will further feed her thoughts

Answer 4

You need to educate her on s*x now. It's better she finds out from you then trying it on her own! If she knows all the responsibilities that come along with it, she may opt not to start yet.

Answer 5

Oh my. First of all....why does she know about s*x? TAlk to her about it possibly even counceling.

Answer 6

Is she interested as in asking questions or exploring with the next door neighbor boy??!! I would tell her that s*x is for when two adults get married and they are wanting to have a baby. s*x is for conception is what I would say, I think, lol.....

Answer 7

Talk to her...don't just brush it off!

Take her to a parenting center maybe, that talks about adoption and other sorts of information related to s*x.

She is 9 years old...I would not even THINK about pushing "safe s*x" I would push abstinence, and maybe when she is older you can go the "safe s*x" route....

Best of luck; be OPEN!

Answer 8

Buy a chastity belt and throw away the key.  Or hide it for a few years.  

I'm just kidding, but honestly, how does she even know about s*x enough to be interested in it?  You need to sit her down and explain that she is not ready to be having s*x or even an interest in it.

She is way too young to be thinking about these things.  God, whatever happened to the playground and pigtails and thinking boys had cooties?  I miss those days.  Especially when I see little girls in mini skirts trying to flirt with boys when they haven't even hit puberty yet.

Talk to her, get her in counseling and make sure to keep an eye on her.  This is a scary thing for a parent to go through.  I'm sorry you have to deal with this, I think I'd loose my mind.

Answer 9

Do you mean interested in s*x as in asking questions about it, or as in interested in having s*x. If it's the first, then this is perfectly normal. I talked to my mom about s*x well before this point, starting with things like parts and differences between girls and boys, then later moving on to actual s*x (using age appropriate language of course).

I think I was 10 or 11 when I found my first trashy romance novel, so your daughter isn't off track. Just talk to her openly and honestly, answering all of her questions.

The sooner you start talking to your daughter, the more likely you are to have an open and honest relationship where you can talk about things that matter. It's the best thing you can do to protect her.
