Some times sex education should not be left up to parents…. I am for (able) parents choosing when and how, to explain sex and all the bodily functions that come along with sex. I think leaving it up to the schools has its risk just as leaving it up to the parents may have its risks. So it’s a coin toss as to who is more suited for the task. I prefer the parent’s side of the coin, except when one or both parents are morons.
I have been a Dad for 9 years, I remember my ex wife, when my son was less than 6 months old, calling me in the room saying “look its big”! And obviously the wind blew just right and my 6 month old had a hard on. By the way moms, Dads are not impressed by this and we can do with out knowing that their little boy has a hard on, at least at that age. Now don’t get me wrong, I know there is a flip side to this as well. If you have a Daughter you don’t have to deal with this, instead as a parent you have to worry later in life about a million Dick’s and I have only 1. So glad I have a son!
Anyways, my GF several weeks ago called me up to ask some questions about boys. Now again I have only been a Dad for 9 years of a son and have not had to have “The Talk” yet! I mean come on he is 9, I at least waited until I was 14. Anyways, her 10 year old son took a moment to tell her that he needed to talk to her about something and that he did not want to talk to her about it. She explains to me that she pressed for a bit more information only to get this response! “Mom… I have been getting these raging Boners, and it is about 4ft. Long” As she is telling me this I can tell she is horrified, and me being a guy, I am laughing my ass off. I ask her if she has noticed anything white or sticky in her ‘very cute Thongs’ and she proceeds to hang up the phone.
After the argument about my inappropriate comment I offer to be the guy that listens to his questions and explains some answers. I figure what the hell, might as well have a practice conversation about sex before I talk to my son about it. Why mess my kid up? If I can mess someone else’s kid up and learn not what to say before I say it to my kid why would I not want to take the opportunity? Makes sense to me.
So after a week or so she calls her Son’s Father up and explains the issue at ‘hand’ or is it ‘in Hand’? He states that he does not want to talk to him about it and that she should find someone else to do it. Dads, if you are in this position and think you can do it intelligently ‘Man’ up and have the conversation. Anyways, so after a Day or so, her son talks to his father and he seems to be satisfied with the results. Her ex-husband calls my GF and says “I spoke with him and explained it to him!”
Now before I tell you what he said, the important thing to note is this. There is no need to explain in great detail to young kids exactly what they are going through and why. There are delicate and appropriate ways to do it. With that said! , Here is what he told my GF that he said to his son (verified by the 10 year old) , “Men get Boners because they have to put in the moms pussy to make a baby”. In this case I think the school would have been better at handling this conversation.
Here is a great book for parents and how to have “The Talk’; How & When to Tell Your Kids About Sex by Stan and Brenna Jones
