[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you sound ridiculous. THIS is why Americans have issues with conversations regarding intimate anatomy. The first female in your sons life isn’t even saying the word penis, like it’s scandalous. There is nothing indecent about anatomy. [/quote]

I actually don’t think OP is originally from America based on the way her post is written. English seems to be a second language. I am a second generation American myself, and my parents used euphemisms for genitals were used. There was a lot of shame around those body parts. I did end up being molested in middle school by a family friend. Hindsight is always 20/20 - I believe I was targeted because the man knew my parents were not the type to teach correct terms for genitalia (coming from the same culture himself), and also just based on the relationship he saw between my parents and I. He was right. I never told until years and years later, and then they blamed me for it. Anyway, these days I feel like it is much more an American cultural thing to teach correct names of body parts and what “safe” people/touching is (e.g. at the doctor when mom or dad is there is safe vs creepy uncle in the basement at a family get together), whereas in other parts of the world genitalia is still given “cutesy” names and these things aren’t really talked about.

OP - Talk to your kids, let them know they can come to you with anything at any time, and for pete’s sake teach them the correct names for their body parts. [/quote]

I am sorry that happened to you, and that it’s what helps you see the implications of what I’m speaking too. I don’t know your parents(clearly), but they failed you there. I’m sorry[/quote]
