Thread: mother-daughter sex talk

The thread about “Ouestions for mothers about sex” got me to thinking about my own experience as a mom of a teenage girl. When my daughter Kate first started getting her boobs a few years ago, we had our talk about periods and the basics of reproduction. Since then we have talked about the dangers of early sex, birth control, STDs and things like inappropriate touching from boys. For some reason, it occurred to me the other day that we had never talked about things like being “horny,” “getting wet,” and orgasm. My mom never discussed any of those things with me. She also never talked about masturbation. I sort of figured things our for myself from reading magazines and hearing other older girls talk about their experiences. Have any of you talked with your daughters about these intimate topics? Or, are they better left to self discovery? Would love your thoughts.

I actually asked my mum about those topics, she was quite embarrassed to talk about them (which is not like her at all) but in saying that we have always had an open relationship. However, there were more things i wanted to know that i had to find out the hard way. By the time she wanted to speak to me about those things it was too late.

In my opinion i think it would be good for you to talk about those points but in a more parental way not in a sexual education way. Although that would also depend on your daughters age.
