-AJ- Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I was randomly wondering this earlier today. I'm by no means close to having children (heck I 'aint even in a relationship), but I was wondering, why don't parents ever be straightforward about sex and what it involves (not all the weird foreplay and fetish stuff, but just the classic process)? I can understand some awkwardness, but it's not like there's anything inherently wrong about it. For example, if little Timmy asks how babies are made, why don't parents just say they had sex and whammo, a baby came to be. Instead, they seem to be so hesitant, sometimes even making up baloney ways to make babies in an effort to avoid telling the truth. I keep trying to think of a reason why parents shouldn't be upfront about sex with their kids when they ask, but the only possible reason that I can think of is for the sake of other parents who (for whatever reason) don't want their kids knowing about the details of sex and finding out about it from their friend Timmy at recess.

-AJ- Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 maybe because they don't want them watching porn... Just because a kid knows what sex is, doesn't meant they'll go watch porn. Especially if the parent explains it in a reasonable way and condones the proper situations in which sex is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Well the Internet is a big reason. Kids just learn themselves IMO. It is how I learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Grimes Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Most kids don't have enough of a grasp on reality yet to understand coitus.(I'm talkin like, under 10-ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerEpic5 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 When I was in Grade 4, they talked about sex and how it works. My friend put it in other words so I can understand better. He mentioned how the baby is made, what does it feel like, sound like, and if you're going that far, tastes like. Feels like: Rubbing. Sounds like: Screaming Taste's like: .. That's what he told me and he had me on "Rubbing". Btw I don't think he made it far in life. Boy times sure have changed. :frantic:But now that most of us are grown men and woman, we now are a bit "mature" about this and we have to know when the time is right to tell our children in the FUTURE.

Joel Heyman Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 To keep them from growing up? I dont have a clue, from the day I was born my mom has answered every question I have had to the best of her abilities. I think I learned about sex when I was 4.

Where's Wellwood Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Depends on the age. If you're nowhere near puberty, I don't see how it's relevant anyway I had better things to worry about at 7 years old. Most kids don't have enough of a grasp on reality yet to understand coitus.(I'm talkin like, under 10-ish) Some kids are beginning puberty as young as 8 nowadays. The increased level of hormones and steroids in our food, as well as higher rates of childhood obesity, are pushing the average age of puberty younger, since hormones and body weight are two signals the body uses to determine when to start the process.

BanTSN Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 While I had hoped to learn about sex earlier from my parents, I sure as hell didn't want to hear it from my parents!!! Gross!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffi Torres's Smirk Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I feel bad for the kids who learned about sex via internet porn. That would give such a skewed view of what it's all about. Thank god my parents had 'the talk' with me when they did (~age 10/11). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 My parents/mainly mom, first talked to me about sex when I was 9. However, they were already mentioning little things here and there when I was about 4/5 and I would ask innocent questions. My mom in particular wanted to make sure that I learned about sex/love properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
