hello all!
when would be the best time to give sex education?
I caught my 9-year old nephew visiting an adult website! and i was just mortified!
I just think 9 is still a very early age for this kind of stuff.

Sex education is actually already introduced among students in school. It's a pretty sensitive issue to discuss but it can really come handy. PMS is prevalent now-a-days and it could really increase the risk for unwanted sexual diseases and untimely pregnancies.

...definitely! i mean, let's all face it. we can't stop raging hormones. it's always better to be safe than be sorry.

hey everyone. In my own opinion, i think it's helpful but there's just a downside of it. Don't you think we are sort of "promoting" sex to them when we expose them to different kinds of contraceptives?

at baker101- you can always teach your kids about the importance of abstaining, however as what kiss_me has pointed out, it's difficult to control raging hormones. I do see the need for the young ones to know about this stuff, so they know what they are involving themselves into when the time comes.

...whether we like it or not, kids are eventually going to learn about it. humans as we are, we always explore. it's that animal instinct in us, lol!

I'd say blame it to media. Currently, children are very much exposed to things that are intended for adults. Naturally they become curious about it, we all are. As we reach our teen years, it becomes more obvious due to the hormonal changes that happens within us. It's no secret. Sex education in school is just practical.

hi. i'm also a mom and I really want to teach my son about that however, it just feels awkward. I don't know how and what to say to him. I just really really want him to have good future and sometimes sex can get the better of us and it just ruins everything.

I suggest you just leave the "teaching" stuff, to the school. Your son would probably feel awkward too, if you provide the sex education yourself. Don't worry too much, just provide him your undivided love and affection, he should grow up well. :)

our child needs to know the reality. they need to know facts. its best that the child knows the facts from their parents or family.

That was such an awkward moment when my mom had the "the birds and the bees" talk with me. I can't remember what age I was that time. I was already aware of a few things. Hearing it from my mom made my skin crawl. My face was red all over from embarassment. Hahaha...

:P
