OT Parents: When Did You Have the Sex Talk with the Kids?
Posted on 2/9/15 at 10:06 am

Time is getting close for us. I'd rather my oldest hear it from us before someone tells her at school.
I've come to learn that the most problematic classmates for my kids are those with older siblings at home that tell them much more than they should know at an early age...and then pass that knowledge on to my kids.
Since my first and second children are ~18 months apart, we'll probably tell them either at the same time or in the same weekend.
Tips, suggestions, experiences?
My two kids in question are 7 and just turned 6.

thanks to the internet my kids at 10 had seen things i couldn't imagine until i was in college.
when you say 'you're a shitty parent', remember that their friends have phones at school and are browsing pornhub out behind the gym.

No judgement from me. I'm surprised with what my 6yr old hears at school, he just hasn't put the pieces together yet.

A few years ago, a 12 year old boy and girl here exchanged texts about anal sex and the texts indicated a very sophisticated sexual knowledge. They were talking about going slow, lube, etc. Hell, at 12, I was running electric f'in trains.
The mother discovered the texts (while they were talking about it) on the boy's phone, as well as a snatch pic from the girl. Her response - invite the girl over to stay at the house (after "lecturing" her son about it).

I remember when I was 6. I thought you peed in girls to make them preggers. Once I started rubbing em out to the lingerie section in the jcpenny catalog. I knew.

after having the talk with our oldest, my wife took our oldest daughter to a class at womans hospital when she was around 9(i think).
we did the same for #2 but he was around 10

When I was five, I heard the word "frick" and I asked my mom what it meant. She said "Don't say that word ... it means to pinch your tee tee."
No wonder I'm fricking warped.

Wait... Wtf?
At 12 I was trying to put my arm around girls at the movies, maybe.

Told the oldest when he was 10. He told his mom about words he was hearing on the playground and felt embarrassed cause he didn't know what they meant.
Anyway I had the talk one evening while I was grilling some burgers and he was there to help. It went well, he knew the anatomy etc I just had to fill in the blanks so to speak. I was more nervous about it than I thought.
Funny, anytime he says something is awkward I ask him it was as awkward as the night grilling burgers, he says "OH NO!"

Now at age 12, they know enough to run a real life train on some girl...

If they go to daycare, they probably already know more than you could imagine.

It was very disturbing. The sexualization of our children really bothers me.

This should be an ongoing conversation not one specific talk. But as to when you should open the dialogue? That depends on the individual child. Usually, kids will start asking questions. If you want to approach the subject, ask some preliminary question and let them know that you are available if they ever do have questions. When they do ask, answer honestly and openly. You can do this and still maintain innocence in the terms of not being vulgar or delivering too much information too early.
Good luck buddy

Lost my virginity at 14. Dad tried having "the talk" with me when I was 16. I looked at him as he started and said "It's too late Dad." He just shook his head and laughed.
As for my son and daughter, I will probably start talking to my son around the age of 10. When my daughter has her period, I will let my wife handle that part and then I will start talking to her about sex then.

I had to do a double take b/c I initially read this thread title as:

I believe it was about 10 yrs old for my son if I remember correctly. I didn't want ot have the talk with him just yet but due to all the crap they're exposed to at school nowadays you just can't wait.Like someone has already mentioned it's a shame the crap that's thrown at our kids at such a young age nowadays.

It really does depend on the ki more so than just now versus then. When I told my oldest a little over a year ago when he started middle school after just turning 11, he essentially had no clue. He understood the broad concepts of it took a male and female...we've watched enough science shows to have covered that...but the specifics when it came to people were a complete mystery. But that's him...he's still on the kid side of puberty and it's just not on his radar quite yet. When I check his internet browser history, the only thing on there is YouTube videos of idiots playing video games...
On the other hand, by the time I was that age I had seen all sorts of shite...and that was LONG before the internet. Thanks to a nearly complete lack of supervision and my enterprising neighbor down the street whose dad liked to order porn VHS tapes and thanks to his own electronic savvy creating a de-scrambler for the cable box, I was well versed.

I told my boys when they were 2. Very detailed. Explained it all. Not my fault if they don't remember. I'll have a refresher course around 8-9 probably depending on how I think they are developing.
I was 11 I think which was too late. I knew too much and had been looking at magazines already. It was awkward as hell and my dad tried to be funny which made it worse.
I'm thinking when the time is right I'll take the boys on a road trip for the weekend and bring it up.

I'm early 20s and never received the talk. I'm actually glad I didn't. I turned out better than 99% of my classmates so far, although I doubt the sex talk is anywhere near the top of the list of reasons for that happening.
