[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people arguing that kids are having sex or watching porn by middle school so you should tell your 5 year old everything anyway, are kind of missing the entire point in my mind.

I don't want my middle schooler having sex or watching porn. That to me should not be normal. I understand that explaining biology doesn't lead to promiscuity, and I also understand the grave need to explain body parts to prevent abuse. But, your young kids do not need to know about P going in to V and they certainly don't need to know that it's pleasurable.

Tell your kids when they ask you, and answer their actual questions. My 6 year old has never asked. When he does I'll answer his questions. If he doesn't ask until he's 10, that's OK.[/quote]
They absolutely should know that finding pleasure in their sexual body parts is normal, so when they feel like masturbating they don’t think they are freaks! You can explain that sex feels good and also explain that children have no business having sex.

I agree. Late one night (early one morning) this summer, I went to turn on a fan in DS room and caught him with his hands down his pants. I ignored it but wondered what to do. Serendipitously the very next morning, a podcast I was listening to mentioned masturbating and DH asked me what that meant (I am sure he had an idea.) I explained it and I’m telling you, he looked so relieved. I wish we would have just organically discussed it at an earlier time. [/quote]
