[quote=Anonymous]And you listened to your DH on this?  &lt;smh&gt;  As a PP said, your and DH’s approach has taught your son that those subjects are not to be discussed.  What kids learn in school isn't enough to prepare them for relationships - and that's what you want your DS to have, right, a relationship and not just a sexual one, right?  The mechanic of sex are easy enough to learn about but sexual health should be a subject of lifelong health.  These are conversations that should be happening on a regular basis as sexual situations are encountered.  You want your kids to be comfortable coming to you when they have questions, concerns or problems, don't you?

I've got 3 kids and the oldest boy is 18.  The topics may be uncomfortable for my kids sometimes (and me, if I'm honest, but I don't let that show) but because of all the passive listening they did to me on this (and on drugs and rock n roll), they've fairly well educated on sex and comfortable coming to me and DH with issues.[/quote]
