[quote=Anonymous]My son's father (my husband) passed away when my son was 8 years old so I have had many a conversation I didn't think or want to have but had to have with him.  You just have to give him the information in a straightforward manner.  When my son was in 6th grade he found porn and was watching a lot of it.  I thought I was smart by locking down his phone so he couldn't access it but they are smarter he just reset his phone with a new apple id.  I kept the conversations brief because I knew after about 10 minutes I would lose him. Just gave him a couple of bullet points.  What you are watching isn't real, men and women's bodies aren't realistically portrayed, and certain acts are not what everyone wants to do.  It gives you an unrealistic view of sex.  Also, I've had to give him very frank information about being careful what you stick where.  He did not want to hear that at all but I said don't you want to know what can happen rather then having to come to me and say we need to go to the emergency room because something is stuck where it shouldn't be.  These are all conversations I have not wanted to have with my son but have had to because there is no one else to tell him.  I know it's embarrassing for him but at least he has some information.  It's different now, you can google any question you have and an answer is there but when I was growing up you had to rely on what your friends told you because my parents told me nothing.  I wish there had been a conversation about it.  Another poster is correct, it's not a one and done conversation it should be ongoing.  If my son ever wanted to ask me anything he could come to me and ask because he knows I would be honest with him.  Would he come to me is a different story.  [/quote]
