Up for an hour. Not one response.
I think I just found the problem.
Do you talk to them about the consequences of unprotected sex? Discuss the ramifications of an 18-year child support order on their lives? Tell them that some women (girls) will mislead them about the protection they themselves are using? Explain to them how their lives will be irrevocably changed if they get a girl pregnant? Really walk them through the consequences? Discuss protection with them? Give them condoms? How far do you go to protect your son from the burden of an unwanted pregnancy?
Poll up in a minute.

If it takes a whole minute to get your poll up, talk to your doctor, they make a pill for that now.Do you talk to them about the consequences of unprotected sex?

My boys are 12 and 9, and no I haven't lectured them about safe sex. In fact I probably never will have "the talk" with them because imo that's the worst possible way to do it. Instead I pay attention to what's going on in their lives (as best I can, anyway, given the situation) and speak into their lives as appropriate.
I'm not a Dad, but I 100% agree that the responsibility needs to be shared between all parties involved.... :thumbs:
No need to be an ass.Then I was right. You are part of the problem.
No need to be an ass.
I'm not a dad either, but I didn't wait for the schools to provide sex ed.

All I get is a ****ing phone call maybe 3 times a week. I haven't seen my children since last Christmas due to the X and her legal games. Maybe it's time for you to step down from your soap box and shut your ****ing mouth.Didn't know I was. What would you think of a mother who didn't talk to her daughter about sex? Maybe you wouldn't care.
But part of being a parent is keeping your kids out of harm's way. I can think of few things more life-altering harmful than a boy getting a girl pregnant who then decides to keep the baby. His life is forever changed. All his hopes, your hopes for him -- all gone in a puff of smoke.

I don't know what you mean by "signs".My parents never imagined I was the one to get knocked up between us three girls . . and I did.
I was sexually active by the age of 7 - first had sex when I was 9 . . . and never really stopped messing around with boys, ever, it just eventually caught up to me. When I was 5 and caught masturbating - that should have been a dead giveaway which put them on high alert. My father's a minister and I guess that put them in some state of 'our children are all moral and just' or something.
In my view: there's no such thing as 'signs' . . . I was 12 when my parents had the first birds-and-the-bees talk and, already, I wasn't a virgin. I already shared a sex life with someone (heh - several someones) and had friends tell me all I didn't know.
Would you like the answer alphabetically or chronologically?WTH is wrong with you?
Did I not....Why didn't you just say you didn't have custody and rarely saw them?

Why are you lying about me being dishonest?Why the dishonest answer?
You made this thread on a Sunday morning right after mass usually begins. A majority chunk of DP's members are white CHRISTIAN males, Americans, likely still in church, or with family at lunch, which you very well know is a common weekly tradition after church. Other people either have already had 'the talk' and thus won't have it again, or are like me and proffer to deal with the topic in a different way than a single 'talk', or just don't want to talk about it, or don't even ever visit this part of the forum.This isn't a soap box post. Do you not find the FACT that hardly any male has stepped into this thread and said, "Yes, I plan to have that talk with my son," telling?? I sure do.
I don't know what you mean by "signs".
I was contrasting 1 lecture against an ongoing open line of communication. I proffer the open communication to the stereotypical "talk".
As for your being sexually active at 7, I can't relate, I was thinking about Voltron and Thundercats at 7. Had my first kiss at 12, sex at 17, divorced at 28 and have abstained since. We're from different worlds.

Did I not....
You jumped to your own conclusion before asking what 'the situation' was. You made ASSumptions, thus you were being an ass.
Why are you lying about me being dishonest?
Nope. They either have already had 'the talk' and thus won't have it again, or aren't even at home right now since a majority chunk of DP's members are which CHRISTIAN males likely still in church, are like me and proffer to deal with the topic in a different way than a single 'talk', or just don't want to talk about it.
Bro I didn't say anything about 'signs'. In fact, no one did. I don't know where you want to go with the idea of 'signs'. I'm sorry but I have nothing to offer that line of thought.You mentioned 'signs' - I assume you mean showing an interest in girls / dating / adult themes? . . . I just responded with food for thought: sometimes there are no 'signs' to be seen.
I said you were being an ass in post #12. I told you to shut your ****ing mouth in post #17. Do you see how you aren't able to keep events and facts in order? That is the problem.First you tell me to shut my ****ing mouth. Then you tell me I'm an ass. I like your style.
