any "sexuality" type classes for 14 yr old boy in MoCo?

[Anonymous]

A dear friend is a single mom to a 14 year old boy. Her son has gotten into a few situations with girls lately that have made his mom realize that he needs some guidance with respect to the hormones/feelings he is experiencing, the types of situations he has and will continue to encounter with girls and what are good choices, what is appropriate behavior, etc. I have young children so have no advice of my own to give (although listening to my friend is making me appreciate 3 year old tantrums, that is for sure!), but I thought it would be helpful to find some kind of class/teen group for her son where he can talk to peers with an adult teacher/advisor in the room to facilitate and provide guidance. Is anyone aware of any such classes/groups in MoCo? Thanks a lot.

It's part of the MoCo school cirriculum. Fifth grade is the introduction of it. Then, beginning in sixth grade, each quarter there is health class, of which a large part is sexuality issues.

What's he doing? Is he getting too worked up and grabbing girls butts and stuff? I remember when I was in 8th grade I think I don't know what came over me but I had to grab that girls butt and I did and she smacked the shit out of me...That's how I learned "look but don't touch". Years later I learned the follow up to that lesson, which is "how to look without being a creepy jerk and getting caught"....

Three of our five kids are boys. They are high school/college-aged now.

Your friend needs to put on her big girl panties and talk to her son about sex. If she truly can't do it, then she should ask a trusted friend, brother, uncle....to do it.

Did you learn the follow up, follow up lesson, don't look because you're too old?

I'm never too old to look at chicks asses....as I age I just look at older asses.

I think I just realized why growing older sucks....

I suppose this is a good thing. Just make sure you're looking at asses at least as old as your own. For example, a 45+ man looking at a 35 year old ass gets no points for merely averting his eyes from 29 year old asses. He still presumes too much.

Clearly you didn't grow up in the time of zero tolerance in school. That behavior today can get your child expelled or even worse criminally prosecuted.

Most Unitarian congregations offer a human sexuality course called "Our Whole Lives" (OWL). Some people join just so their kids can participate. It is a great program.

I agree. The MoCo classes are the bare minimum.

She has to talk to her son about sex. A lot. On an ongoing basis.

This is not a conversation; it is a series of conversations.

Thanks for the responses that are on point. My friend was raised in a poor, strictly Catholic upbringing in another country. Her advice to her son with regard to sex is to wait until marriage. She cannot conceive of the various situations that kids are exposed to, and participate in. This is out of her league. She wants to have her priest talk to her son. I was hoping to find a place for her son to talk with peers and an adult about "real life." Hopefully someone will chime in with a useful class. I really appreciate the mention of the class held by the UU.

You are out of your mind! I will not limit which asses I am going to look at! If they look like they are out of high school there is nothing wrong with looking....

I'd recommend the classes at Unitarian churches too - the have an initial session for parents which is helpful for talking to kids about sex too.
