My son asked me yesterday what sex is and how do you have sex. I don't know how to explain it. How should I?

It would depend on how old he is. But tell him honestly. The age thing comes in on how you word it. If he's young, explain to him that it's how babies are made, and that he'll learn when he's older. If he askes more, insist that he'll know when he's old enough. If he's older, pre-teen, give it to him straight. If he doesn't find out from you, he'll find out, mostly wrong things, from his friends, or by trying it. And you certainly don't want that. Just be honest, no stork stories! Good luck and I hope I helped!

Did you tell her before or after you had sex ? \n\nMany people have sex , because they have hope there is more... that's the deal and it is a daily thing.

Sexuality is learned even younger then ten.  We learn the very aspects of sexuality as early as 2 and 3.  You can see this in pre-school and kindergarten in the ways boys and girls socialize.  At that age, kids don't typically know what sex is, or what gender roles are, but they usually fit them because they mimic.  As far as sex is concerned, whenever they ask, see something incredibly provacative (why's that man on that lady? -->tv?), hear something about it from friends or older siblings and their friends, or puberty.  Honesty is always best, I learned when I had just turned 8.  If you teach them respect for sex and their bodies, and try to explain just how important it is, most kids will listen and be glad later on they did so.  good luck!

you should ask your mom or dad about it. actually they should have talked to you about sex a long time ago. you're to young to be on a public forum asking sex questions. you're gonna get somebody sent to jail.

What is this all about? If you have a normal sexual organ, what do you care what people say about you?\nAnyway, you don't need a penis, you need a DICTIONARY!!!

I think you better explain that your body is a part of you... but your body master is your mind... so they need to touch that first before the body...\n\nYou might have a great sexappeal, but you need to control that also.. not let it flow all over a guy you like, because your body can make him understand other then your talking about...\n\nso try more to focus this sex-skill and explain them who's the master of you body and what this master wants before to give back...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it is a culture thing. How he was raised. Maybe his dad taught him that only a whore would do that, so he is confused. Tell him you apologize for the action, and say that you know if you two would become sexual that he should be the one to initiate the advances. That's probably how he was brought up.

It depends on what moral standards you were raised with, to begin with. There are many different forms of arousal, but if you want to get teknikal about it, sex is when penetration occurs.  Fooly Cooly.

Well I always enjoy a little dirty talk from a girl in bed... if you don't know what to say just be like a 'naughty narrator' and kinda just say what he's doing or what you want him to do. For example: "Oh ya baby pull my hair" or "spread my...". I don't want to get too graphic but you could pretty much say anything and he'll think it's sexy... or at least it's cute you're trying to be anyway. Just don't be Too raunchy. \nHave Fun.

If I happen to catch my 12 year old son masturbating.  I would excuse my self and apologize for interrupting his privacy and leave immediately so he could compose himself from being embarrassed.  Later I would ask to talk with him to let him know that masturbation is okay and that all men do it.  That it is a form of personal sex called solo sex or single sex and should be done in private and kept personal.  I would then ask him a few questions to see if he had all the correct information and if not would make sure that he knows how with out hurting himself, knows how to clean up, and knows how to keep it private and personal.  I would then assure him that as an adult I would not try to invade his privacy and that I hope he would respect mine.  And that we will need to talk about other aspects of sex as the need arises.

Take courage and confront him.  Ask him to explain exactly what he meant by those comments, or tell him that you will be forced to report him for sexual harrassment.  Under no circumstances do you report him without first asking him to explain (as it MIGHT be possible the comments were misunderstood... he might just be a poor joker)!

Hey wanna do something anything? I'm bored lets do something. Saying "I don't care" may give him the idea that you really don't..and if you don't he will think that  sex is your intention. It is best to actually come up with something to do, or ask him "what he would like to do"  (Just ask to go get a soda, coffee, dinner or lunch, or go to a movie, or a walk, or something. Maybe something you know he likes to do that you can enjoy as well.) Never leave it too wide open. Guys tend to think with their penis sometimes. Sorry guys no offense or anything. Just read the first answer you got...that is a prime example. I am sure you will get more just like it. Usually to a guy "anything I don't care" really does mean "anything" If you would like I can offer more help, just send me a message and ask. Good Luck!

I like intelligent questions about sex. I don't like questions like "How do you make sex?" and "How do I have sex?" And there are more that I've seen that I would rather not repeat.

Just say the truth. Most of us don't like to hear what is true about us. But, if you want to fell good with yourself just said the way you ask. Well not to offend you, but remember that day that we have sex I think I need to show you how to do it.

After you have seriously discussed and prepared for SAFE sex.  Try talking to an adult that you are comfortable with (it doesn't have to be your parents).\nP.S. Please, please respect yourself.  Don't have sex in a car or on a mattress lying on the floor.

When a 12 year old begins to ask about sex we as adults sometimes overact and think they are asking about everything you ever wanted to know about sex.  An important point is to make sure you answer the question being asked.  Listen to the child and have a straight forward discussion about whatever is asked.  Let the child know that he is free to ask any other questions he is curious about.  Buy some appropriate books and read them with your child and leave them where your child can peruse them on his own.  \n\nMake sure you also ask your child questions.  Discuss your family values in terms of sex and birth control.  Discuss the ramifications of early sexual activity - the intense feelings he might not be ready for, disease, pregnancy, parenthood, commitment, etc.  Let your child know that he can always come to you no matter what the question and no matter what the issue.\n\nA previous poster mentioned that you start at birth, and you have probably had conversations with your child about topics leading up to this one throughout his life.  Be straight forward.  Don't be embarrassed.  Teach the child whatever he needs to know - and at 12 years of age, that is a lot.
