Hinata Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 [COLOR=purple] Yeah I know we all love this subject but I had to ask this? WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE APPROPRIATE AGE TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT SEX?? They asked this at another site and I decided to get you're opinion. But I personally feel that it's good to bring this to your kids by the age of 12!!! I was 11 when my mom talked to me about it( DANG THAT WAS SO LONG AGO....oh yeah how old were you when you parents talked to you...and was it boring or what???

PiroMunkie Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 [SIZE=1][color=indigo]My parents never really talked to me about it... yet. It's just more so that whenever they see a commercial about it or something and I'm in the same room they'll say "Don't have sex before marriage" or something like that. It's pretty dumb cause I already know that.. stupid parents, lol.[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]I don't know if my parents ever sat down and talked to me about it. It's just something I sort of picked up and made my own decisions about. I mean, me and my mom will get into the conversation sometimes, but my mom trusts me and knows that I'm not going to have premarital sex. Anywho, on topic, I think you should talk to them when you see the problem about the arise, say if they start talking about boys/girls and so forth. I'd rather my children learn from me than from their corrupted friends... :rolleyes:[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imsirion Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 sex.....?? hm, sounds famaliar..... j/k My parents never gave me "the talk:lecture: " because there sure I probably know by now(I do:p ) I mean, how couldn't you know , theres the media and the filthy mouth kids at school. Ya know, kids learn about it from the filthy mouthed kids at school and the "technical stuff" at health class. Well, they could talk to you about sexual morality though but I know that so there will probably be no "talk"...sure hope not, I think that would be awkard:drunk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*GaLxY-GiRl* Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 I believe an appropriate age is whenever the kid is old and mature enough, not to run away screaming... "Ahhh.... SEX? COOTIES!!!" I knew all about sex, masturbation, and STD's before the sixth grade. No one ever told me about it; I suppose they were going to wait... To this day, my mother is still amazed by my extensize knowledge of everything [i]sex[/i]. ... and I'm surprised by the stuff she knows! Good lord... my mom is freaky-deaky. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 [color=red][b]I had "The Talk" when i as in 2nd grade believe it or not. I walked by a porno shop in boston and asked what that man was doing to the woman in the picture. :D I think it's appropreat(sp?) to tell ur kids what it is at whatever age they ask.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delian Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 I learnt about it in health class when I was around 14 I think. It was such a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven's Cloud Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 [color=indigo] Never...sex is dirty...DIRTY!!!....you shouldn't even talk about it until you are married, and even then it is WRONG!!! you dirty birdies!!! actually, I think children should be taught young, when the are mature, about the fifth grade. After the teens hit, all focus in kids is lost due to those freaky chemical changes. Most fifth graders seem more mature then a lot of 13 yr olds I know[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sui Generis Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Hm...I actually had "the talk" when I was in 1st grade o.O! My mother I guess thought I was mature enough, considering I never believe in cooties and all that crap *shrugs*. But I think it is good for the kid to learn about sex early...For some reason it seems to take some of the mistery out of sex...so you don't really wanna have sex as much...You know its for love...and not something to be just thrown around...I think the parents should set the kid down at about 1st or 2nd grade....and maybe remind them in 5th or 6th once their hormones kick in and to make sure they didn't forget...it is kinda awkard I will admit...but you feel better afterwards!

Duo Maxwell Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 my parents never talked to me about it... i first had sex ed in my first year at primary school (which was when i was 5) then again in year five then seven and eight... so i expect i'm gonna have sex ed again this year. i don't intend on having the talk with my parents either, its something we don't talk about unless theres something on the news about all the bad negitive stuff, then we start debating... i bet the time my mum actually will talk to be about it is when i'm at that age and have a boyfriend, me and her never talk about that sort of stuff i mean when i first got... um thats off topic so i won't say anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 [color=royalblue]We already have an active topic which discusses when it is appropriate to discuss drugs/alcohol/sex etc with kids...I don't think we need a repeat of that...[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
