[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, not all sex is hetero straight sex, so something to keep in mind as you’re thinking through how to have these conversations. [/quote]

True but at age 5 I'm not explaining sex as sexuality but rather a biological function to procreate.[/quote]

At age 9, DD met a 10 year old at Girl Scout camp who constantly told everyone she was a lesbian. And our kids have met out married gay male friends many times.  So at 11 DD naturally asked about how they “do it.”

[b]I simply told her that gay men use the butt.  Or the mouth.  And that lesbians can buy a fake p*nis made of rubber.[/b]

Whether gay or straight, she has a mostly general understanding of the act now at 13.  It’s enough for now.[/quote]

Omg. Are you serious??[/quote]

How would you describe it differently? [/quote]

NP but I am curious about if you made it clear that same sex couples don't make babies that way, and that here are other ways to have babies than penis-vagina sex?[/quote]

Funny you should ask.  My explanation above came from her question right before covid hit, at the end of 6th grade (still elementary school then).

Middle school is night and day different when it comes to knowledge of sex, it seems.  She is now 13.  One of her classmates has transitioned.  She tells me that 1/4th of her class identifies as LGTBQI+ in a FFX middle school. Two of the girls in her girlscout troop identify as bi.

We watch, as a family, the sit-com Modern Family; one of the episodes mentions the gay couple’s friends conceiving through a surrogate, and using “the swirl.”  Our daughter asked later, and we told her what that meant.

As far as OP’s question of “explain the physical act of intercourse” and how exactly LGTBQI+ people do “intercourse,” our daughter has not asked us again, but I imagine she’s heard plenty of things from classmates to answer her questions in detail.

Since most of her friends were given phones with complete and open internet access, they’ve probably SHOWN my daughter things; if not they probably will.  Kids with that access go wild on the net and look at everything, don’t fool yourself.  It is all out there and they all look.  Sad situation, but it’s the world we created for them.
