oh yeah coz girls are such hussies, right?


Actually I agree with this. Middle school girls are just more into relationships and pairing off than the boys are, yet. They definitely pursue the boys more than boys pursue the girls. It doesn’t mean they are promiscuous- they are just in a different development phase


+1
they are relentless

I actually don't know 😅 but I think that when the right girl comes along, he will forget the past and see her as a jewel of great price.


How is your son only 14 and already in 10th grade?


And why did you drag up a zombie thread to post this? I.e. none of this is true. Good try.

My son had interest in girls as early as preschool. I just knew he thought one or two of the girls in his classes were pretty by little comments he made. He’s a freshman now and asked a girl for her Snapchat this morning and I know he’d been working up the courage for a few weeks.

This pretty well describes my daughter (who is in college!).

You almost sound proud??!

I hope that you are dealing with this. Modern day porn is very violent and extreme.


I am no prude but I would worry about a boy who is forming his views on women and sex from this industry.

Please help him process what he has seen.

I noticed him perk up considerably when he saw Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot.

The last thing he needs is his mom asking why he hasn't coupled up yet. Let him go at his own pace. You don't need to push him into anything.

This is such a DCUM response. Speculation, accusation and self-righteousness off the charts. I'm glad OP pushed back on this post.

When my mom found out my brother was gay her response was, "but you always watched straight porn!" We were all horrified by her outburst. My brother died laughing, so then we all started laughing. She started crying because she was both surprised and then embarrassed.

Now it's a running joke. Either way sexuality is a spectrum and interest in girls or boys (at any age) doesn't categorize your kid as straight, gay or bi. It is more accurately an interest in sex.


No, for 95% of people your statement is not true. Also, you are talking to multiple people.
