Mathew Barzal Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I think we're going to see the repercussions of not putting a lid on sexually explicit with the next generation thanks to social media. It's not going to be pretty I can tell you that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 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. Who says parents don't talk straight forward and upfront with their children about sex ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:D Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I talk to children about sex all the time. Kids today seem more in the know that when I was young (how things are done, how much they should cost, etc) so whether it be parents or the Internet, kids are getting that knowledge quick.

CanuckofSteel Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 If your brown there is no such thing as talking about Sex to your children Word, I'm brown too and never talked to my parents about sex. The first time I watched porn was in grade 9, so I was late to the party compared to almost everyone in school at the time. I had full access to the internet since I was a kid but I just never even thought about sex or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aGENT 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). No doubt...talk about having a skewed vision of sex. Very little porn is what I'd consider a positive (or accurate) model for sex. I'm actually a bit shocked and saddened by how many people in this thread didn't evidently have better parental influence here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Porn during the boom of the internet age was hard to avoid for curious minds. I still remember the pop-up ads when we had Windows 98. Anyway I don't think this is as important a talk to have with children as it is tweens. It's only relevant when puberty is relevant I'm not saying porn should be avoided, I'm saying it likely shouldn't be your prime formative source. Porn has many uses but "education" really shouldn't be one of them. Not the way most of it is made anyway. Nor does it normally tend to address important things like respect, mutual pleasure, protection/STI's/pregnancy etc. It's relevant whenever the child has interest/questions, regardless of age. Besides it's sounds like a lot of the people in this thread didn't get spoken to on the subject as children, "tweens" or teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 An old friend of mine when I was 5 or 6 found out what sex was. He and a girl tried to do it but they couldn't get it in so they tried using butter. Needless to say none of us truly knew what sex was. No idea where he is in life now but you reminded me of him.

CALGARY! Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 My parents never really talked to me about sex. They talked to me about drugs a few times but I don't remember a sex talk. I have a son and another son due this year, I think I might have to give them a sex talk. It seems like sex is a lot more rampant among younger teens these days. In the late 90s there were only a handful of students sexually active in my JR highscho, and everyone knew who they were, nowadays, at least how the media portrays it, 13 year olds are already 2 years into their sexual careers and having orgies at birthday party's while serving up lines of coke instead of having pizza and watching WWF haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I remember learning about sex through school... roughly during the same time when you can access all those pay-per-view movies with a blackbox..... and guess what movies are on at night, lol. The closest my parents ever told me about anything with sex are: - always wear a rubber - oral sex only exist in porn Yep.... was a very weird conversation...

Ghostsof1915 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Even as adults sometimes its awkward. My sister prefers saying "My daughter and her husband are working on making more grandchildren", rather than saying they're having sex. At 8 years old I knew how babies were made. Did I understand every nuance? No chance. The bigger question is when do you have a talk with your kid? Do you wait until they go from girls/boys are icky to hey they aren't so bad? Or is that too late? If you're a Dad, even if you've spoke with your daughter at say age 8. When your daughter is 14 do you know if they are "active"? One of the best people was one of my english teacher in Grade 12. She spent a whole class discussing sex in literature. What was funny and slightly awkward was this was a lady in her late 50's. I think the best part was she said something very profound and I found out later it's true. There's sex, then there's making love. As she put it, sex is just the action and the satisfaction. But making love, is deeper, more bonding, more meaningful and is very beautiful and more rewarding. Sometimes though its hilarious when you're learning how to be human.

ronthecivil Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 By the time my parents tried to give me the "talk" when I was like nine it was akward and the only thing I wanted to do was not acknowlege that I already knew. And that was well before the internet. Who needs that akwardness? It's totally understandable why they don't do it. Now, talking about the hazards of being an internet porn junkie, or a phycopath internet bully, or a teenage pothead, or a promiscuous person (both in terms of mental and physical health, and consequences), well, one should get over that.
