One day my mom asked me if I knew what sex was, I said "no" she then said "alright", got up, walked away, and never spoke of it again. My goal is to do better than that.

Before we go any further:

This thread has been search bar approved!

Now, we all know what the "talk" is and most likely, we've all had our parents try to explain the birds and the bees to us and it all ends up sounding the same way

"When a man loves a woman, they get together and do a special...hug"

You know, bullshit like that, but I'm curious to know how the Escapist will teach their children about sex.

Personally, I found out on my own and my parents never told me a damn thing and I intend on doing the same with my child. (yes singular)
With diagrams, a DVD, pick up lines, and condoms.

When around 15 if a boy

Me: you know about sex?
Them: yes dad
Me: you know about protection?
Them: yes dad
Me: you getting any?
Them: no dad
Me: why not?

However if its a daughter there will be countless talks and multiple hand crushingly threatening handshakes of prospective partners.
The Why Not was what made it for me.

For a girl: Porch + Shotgun + plus saying "Mhm" constantly = real protection.

Bah, I learned cuz my parents thought I would learn it wrong from others. However, my way of teaching my kids is to demostrate it.....>.>

Not having kids. But when Mom was pregnant with me, she took my sister to a special class where they explained it to the little kids. After that, she always assumed that when Mommy and Daddy didn't want a baby, they slept with a wall between them every night. And so, as the big sister, this is the knowledge she passed on to me until she went to Jr. High health class.

I don't want kids, but if I change my mind ever, I do intend to take my kid out for drives, and tell them the truth, ruin their childhood and what not, so one day me and him will be driving him with a icecream me with probably a ciggrette, just lay it out straight and out there, make sure he gets it and what not, and by then he should know not to be a annoying pissant with "Guess what I know" and if he does, groundings till he cries tears and blood.

I'm going traditional but I'm going to give them the talk when they're around Grade 7 or 8 instead of looking like a dipshit by telling them after they already know. Hopefully they won't know much around that age.

Funnily enough it's the exact same talk my dad gave me.

Eh, i probably won't give my kids "the talk." my parents never gave it to me, and i feel like i turned out pretty well.

I'll probably just do what my parents did. They didn't explain sex or any thing, they just bought me a pack of condoms when i was 13, then told me that they didn't care what i did, so long as it is within legal limits (with the exception of pot, alcohol, cigarettes), but they only said that i should be safe about it. Sounds harsh, and this makes me sound like an arrogant dick, but things turned out pretty well.

With the exception of a mild shop-lifting spree in my mid 'teens, i didn't smoke pot, drink, or smoke until i was 18 or 19, i started taking classes at the university that i graduated from when i was 16, and I'm already making 60K a year at the age of 22. This applies to both of my sisters too, except the income part.

EDIT: also, in regards to your third option; that's an almost sure-fire way to pretty much guarantee that one of your children will get pregnant/get someone pregnant before they graduate high school.

"Y'see, Timmy, when a man and woman love each other very much, or when at least one of them are incredibly drunk, they decide to..."
That sounds like a line from Scrubs...

OP:

Child: "Dad, from where do babies originate"

Dad "Well, you see son, when a man and a woman love each other they get married. That is unless you're a dirty hippie. But I digress son. So the man and woman get married. Then a time comes when the woman tires of sex and also decides she doesn't want to work anymore. So she finds the ultimate scape goat and askes the man if he wants to make a baby. The couple goes to the big peoples bed and engages in an act that when done out of wedlock makes God cry. Then a few minutes later the man goes to sleep and the woman crys. Then 9 months later the man rushes the lady to the hospital where she screams and screams at him and tells him how much she hates him. Then after the nice doctors give the woman enough drugs to put down a horse a baby is born and the couple takes the baby home. Then a month later the mommy divorces the daddy and takes all his money and toys and lives off child support checks until the child is 18 or out of school. And that son is where babies come from...and ironically that is why Daddy calls Mommy a fat whore when he picks you up every other weekend.

don't really want kids. if i do happen to have kids one day then i suppose i will just sit them down one day and and explain what sex is. i'm probably going to be very straight forward with them with most sensitive subjects so this will be not that big of a deal.
