i always answer my son's questions, and he has a lot of them,,,, perhaps more than i would like at his age.... but he plays street hockey, etc., with older kids, so that's the way it is....
Although they don't tell me EVERYTHING by any means (one now married, one in college), they have had frank discussions with me that I would have never had with my own mom. I'm proud of my girls, fer sure.
So how do you talk to a BOY teenager, as a single mom? I dunno, but I do anyway!
When my daughter had just turned 5 years old, we were driving in the car one afternoon. As we passed by a house, there in the front yard were two dogs getting after it.
My daughter watched them intently for a while and then turned to me and asked, "Daddy, what were those two dogs doing?"
I was kind of shocked at first and at loss for words, but then I remembered what my dad told me when I had the same question.
I told her, "Well honey see that dog in the front?... It is very sick. And the one in the back is pushing it to the hospital."

One day when bow jr. was in kindergarten, he settled into his seat for an afterschool snack and while I was putting his artwork on the refrigerator door he asked me just as tho he were asking what flavor pudding he was about to eat, "Momma, when you want to sex a girl, how do you get her excited?"
Thankfully, my back was to him and I was able to pick my chin up off the floor before responding in my Waybrain manner, "Well honey, God designed sex for after you get married and HE tells you all you need to know to get started." (Yes, I really said something like that)
This led to his question, "Momma, did YOU ever have sex?"
I tenderly answered, "Yes, darlin' - that's how I got you!"
He then asked, "With who?"
I answered, "With your daddy.""
He didn't skip a beat - his reply? "Aww, gross!!!!"
HUDSON, Fla. - Bill Martin figures the scriptures are enough to cover folks at a Christian nudist camp.
He wants to transform about 240 acres in the Tampa Bay, Fla., area into a modern-day Garden of Eden.
Plans for the Natura nudist resort include an open church, a giant water park for the kids and, of course, nude volleyball. Much of the property was once home to a nudist colony but is now in disrepair.
Martin hopes to have the place cleaned up enough for a nude baptism ceremony in April. He promises there will be no drinking or fooling around among the Christian nudists.
What a HOOT! You are all too funny! I haven't had this much good reading since I don't know when. It seems that when it came to sex, my daughter was most comfortable discussing things with me, while my son seems most comfortable discussing things with his mother. That is not to say that those roles weren't reversed at times, but that was the way it was for the most part. That is what worked for us, I guess the best answer is that you have to find the way that works the best, because it does have to be discussed at some point.
When I was 10, I had swiped my parents' copy of "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask" and read it cover to cover. Of course, it took me several days sneaking around to finish it. I must have been discovered, (although no one ever said anything,) because shortly thereafter Dad cornered me.
"Any questions about sex?"
"No, sir."
"All right. ... Would you ask me if you did?"
"Um, I think so."
"All right, then."
And that was about it.

Rocky ---- no I did not. I do NOT subsidize hollywood, or it's "stars", who in my opinion are a$$-holes, and pawns of the liberal media, that accomplish nothing more than leading you and I and the rest of America into a laid -back attitude that negates the true issues of life, and deals in trivialities instead.......
Empahsis on quote mine.
"Liberal Media" dmiller? And who may I ask is the liberal media? Do I sense you listen to the likes of someone like Kevin Alfred Strom?
Well, I might as well put in my 2 cents worth on the sex issue.
I would be almost 18 before I read (shamelessly) my first Playboy. Even in high school, when classmates were bringing them into the classroom, I was afraid to look at them because, to put it in a nutshell, I was told it would pi$$ God off to look at a naked woman, unless I was married of course. And I was under the influence that you didn't want to pi$$ off an all-powerful God (who at the time in my heart I felt I had every right to hate, but I didn't dare confess it though). Of course my classmates were under the false impression that I persued an "alternative lifestyle", but I can assure you I'm not that kind of person. I think because of my faulty upbringing in that regard it has unfortunately cause at lot of impedence in my (potential) love life. To this day, and I just turned 48 last week, I have remained a bachelor. I have also had very few intimate encounters with women, few enough to number. Today I suffer from E.D. so I have no base desire for sex,(and I don't see any point in going on viagra) but occasionally I do like to look at nice women.
The only way most of us first found out what the female body really looked like, unless you count National Geographic or those line drawings in our health books at school.
Still remember the first one I ever saw - the February 1966 issue. The centerfold was a very nice looking young lady who looked like she was dressed for a day of skiing, except that she had forgotten to button her sweater. An amazing sight for a 13-year old.
Pirate: Funny, but I can still remember the first issue I saw, too, although not the exact month or year. It had a strikingly beautiful picture of a red-headed Scottish girl wearing a frilly white blouse...and nothing else. She was a true redhead too... :)-->
Memories.
For all the flap over it, you really have to hand it to Playboy. At least it at least tried to be artistic with the photos. Nowadays, some of the magazines should be re-titled "Gynecological Review"...

Dear Zix,
Yeah, having parents who said NOTHING to me, I used to preface such talks with my girls with,
"'ScusemeifIseemkindofawkwardaboutthisbutmyparentsnevertalkedtomeaboutsex, Sooo..."
Although they don't tell me EVERYTHING by any means (one now married, one in college), they have had frank discussions with me that I would have never had with my own mom. I'm proud of my girls, fer sure.
So how do you talk to a BOY teenager, as a single mom? I dunno, but I do anyway!
Regards,
Shaz

I once got into trouble in 7th grade for bringing a playboy centerfold (picture) to school...

Well, I remembered the year for sure but not the exact month until I did a little searching on the net.
Her name was Melinda Windsor, by the way. I wonder how she looks today. She's probably about 60.

Funny, but too true.
That makes a good question: Have you ever traded something for sex, or sex for something, even from your spouse? Do you think that's prostitution?
