[quote=Anonymous]I pulled up a picture on WebMD of the male anatomy and show them all parts.

I did the same with the female anatomy. I discussed all the parts. Be sure he didn’t think babies are pooped out.

I explained women’s cycle and periods.

I discussed emotions and embarrassment around periods, and that people shouldn’t be embarrassed, but they are and that we should never make fun of it or make anybody feel uncomfortable about it. I showed him a pad and a tampon I told her this is what I used there’s other things that can be used.

I discussed the emotions around being intimate with somebody and that it’s a huge responsibility that could result in a baby. I discussed that you can pass diseases and infections on each other just like you could if you kiss while you have the flu.

Then the obvious, how does the baby get into a uterus? I already had told him about the women’s cycle and ovaries. I had already discussed semen versus urine. I discussed intimacy but not the act.

I said that the men’s semen needs to fertilize the women’s ovaries.

Then I say, the man puts his penis in the woman’s vagina and that’s how it happens.

Really? Yes really? Hmm. 🤔

I told home more to come later.

At a later date 6 th grade we did discuss  masturbation and even though we are conservative Catholics, we told him it was normal and healthy. Porn not so much.  We discussed that sinew friends with phones access it.
