Thread: my son is 9 and I am worried about his awareness of sex

Depends, are you posting from the Ohio State Pen.?

He knows about sex. It's obvious. I'd be willing to bet that he's well aware of how to do it as well. It's a very natural response, actually.

I knew what a "b*ner" was at five years old. I knew how sex was had, how babies were made, and where they came from at five as well. Very little did my mom and dad tell me. Most of it I just knew. I can't explain it any other way.

The best thing to do is tell him what sex is. But don't go the typical "parent" route and tell him that he has to wait until he's married. Make sure he knows all the facts about sex, pregnancy, and by golly... those gosh durn STDs! If you want to slow his libido down then show him some pictures of untreated syphilis or genital warts. Especially genital warts! I saw a picture one time of a case left untreated that ended up clogging up the poor guy's bum.

Educate him and do it properly. Once he learns that sex can make him sick (or worse)... it won't seem nearly as appealing.
