When our daughter was about 8 we got a book on her level from our local library about human sexuality, and told her we would answer any questions she had. After that, it was relatively easy to deal with.
To my knowledge, you are the only naturist on FR.
Yep. No livestock I know have any sense of modesty whatsoever. Their indiscretion was my gain.
Circa 1983-4, We sat both of ours down at the same time. 15 year old boy and 14 year old girl.
After my well thought out start, our daughter took over the session and ran down the entire list of what I was going to say.
The year before she did the same thing about drugs. Bottom line they knew where to buy drugs and didn’t want to and could not see that they would ever partake. They knew who the “stoners” were at school, the dealers and the clean kids.
I think if my daughter was in charge none of the kids would have had sex or used drugs in HS.
Life often presents us with situations that are unexpected. That the man can tell the story and do it in a way he did makes it very readable ... and funny.
Very interesting that I had a very similar reaction from my son. He was 9 and I was trying to be non-chalant and was telling him about the technical details of sex on the way to Little League practice. After awhile he put up his hand and said “stop, that’s all I want to hear right now.”
That night as mom tucked him into bed he disgustingly said to her “you let dad do that to you FOUR times?!
I can’t remember how old our son was, but upon hearing the basic gist of it said, “Well - I’M never doing that!”
Sounds like you had a very smart daughter
My parents taught me about sex the old-fashioned way. I learned it from the gutter!
Ha...there were no sheets when he walked in. We were so heavy into it we didn’t hear him come in. We heard nothing until he announced his question. I do think we used the “wrestling” explanation, but his eyes were as big as saucers when we first glanced his way.
Yeah, I had that talk with my daughters. They did not get it until they had jobs. One was a cashier in a meat store. She learned we bought stew meat for dinners. Others bout steaks and filet with EBT cards.
My second daughter worked as a contracted “face painter” at a local six flags. She had to deal with spoiled kids and argumentative parents who wanted everything for nothing.
The sex talk was easy. The real life talks can really be depressing.
“”Life often presents us with situations that are unexpected. That the man can tell the story and do it in a way he did makes it very readable ... and funny.”””
It was slightly amusing. Did you learn anything from reading it? It was clearly written as a form of informational writing. I felt like I was being talked down to.
Nothing like observing the farm animals or other animals to learn about how babies are made. Of course an inquisitive mind helps too. Some kids get experience earlier in life than others.
Yeah she’s still ahead of me.
Hard to find someone more levelheaded.
Naturists are very conservative... Pasco County Florida is a Republican area.. and the Naturist Capital of the world.
