ok, about having the "talk" with your son, it's never too early. Have a conversation, do not lecture. Ask him what he already knows or thinks he knows. Find out what they may have taught him at school (I know they started health in the 7th grade here) and then fill in the blanks, and there will be a lot of blanks.

Ask him if he has already had sex, if not, ask him if he is interested in it. Tell him you are available at anytime if he has questions or if he just needs to talk. Make sure he knows that you won't judge him if he already has had intercourse.

Also, make sure he is aware that just because his friends are doing it or just because he thinks it will make him a man are not excuses to go ahead and do it if he has not yet. It has to be something he feels he wants to do.

And the most important thing, in my opinion, is to be sure that he knows how to respect himself, first, and just as much as he respects what ever young lady he is interested in.

Personal Note: A few things that I aways stressed repeatedly with my kids were that sex is not for children, that it creates too many emotions and conflicts that they are not equipped to handle. That its not an activity to pass the time. I explained that even though you can do it, does not mean you should and that to remember that regardless of how good it feels, the main end result of sex is to have children which is something they need to always keep in their minds because I will not raise their children.

Smooches...

That's awesome D....your son will remember that and be a better man, and father, because of it.

You are strong, you won't be beat...I can't see that happening to you...

You are a good Dad and you are doing right by your son...

Hey D, we all go thru it...keep bein you and you will keep being interesting. Blogging is about writing about what you want not what you think we want to read.

Keep your head up bro, we'll be here...

bring it on and bring it out boy...waiting to read more...

I just wanted to say KUDOS and stick to your guns. Its refreshing and much needed. I don't write anything that somebody would want to call their own, but, I know that no one's work should be used and not given some type of credit.
