[quote=Anonymous]When something like this comes up in a movie (e.g. all the references to being a virgin in Hocus Pocus) I just explain generally that it’s a term that has to do with sex. We had very high level, introductory discussions about sex and cells and consent etc. when our kids were about 8-9 y/o so they understand it exists. Our oldest is now 11 and we have yet to have any in depth follow up questions arising from movie lines, but if my kids really pressed then I’d give them the simplest, honest answer I could. I still remember being in elementary school and learning some phrases from Green Day, TLC, etc. which were on top 40 radio. It can be a hard line to walk sometimes, but I try really hard to answer questions in the most simple way I can without getting into things they didn’t ask about, while also making sure they know they can come ask me about absolutely anything and I will give them an honest answer.[/quote]
