No, they just take it like biology. Although they once were wanting new siblings and said in our presence mom, dad...when will you guys get sex and give us brothers and sisters? sometimes they look at new babies and ask if those were also as a result of mom and dad getting sex? yes, they processed the info openly but nothing extra. They just were curious. If you mention sex they will just laugh because the process is funny to them. They still wonder how dad gets his peepee inside the moms vagina tho. I told them it is lesson for another day. if they ask again tho, I will tell.
Although I never discouraged them from talking about their bodies, the major eye opener for me was when my son came home saying he now knows how babies are made. I said oh yeah.... who taught you? he said a friend showed him from a book at school. Fortunately it was a book about conception and pregnancy. showing the sperm and egg meeting and what happens till full term. I thought it was a matter of time before he might see a video. make we teach them before world people teach them anyhow for us.
oh my God I'm just laughing out loud here, when I was younger I see the word sex as a call for cruxification and the kids who mention it are super spoiled, wao you're really trying, I can't deal with that, I'd have to do it in a subtle way though

Do it as it is comfortable for all of you. My kids are just used to asking and we tell them the truth but in a way that their brain can get at that stage. Take your time and make them feel comfortable in their skin. problem starts when the child thinks what he is saying or asking is a taboo.

I can deduce from your write up that your kids are intelligent and matured as well, that's all I hope for, some stupid kids would make a career out of it just to make you regret

hahaha, well they are smart and like to discuss about everything. Depends on when the talk starts and if you make it a hush hush affair plus the environment. They may be prone to abuse when they mention what they know to other kids or neighbors who may take it like they are spoilt. So parents need to watch who they leave their kids with and also correct other over sabi adults that may judge the child negatively. If kids are made to believe that nature handles things from design to function, they will not take it like a big deal. The earlier the better according to the child's wisdom.

the school they attend also plays a major role, they might innocently mention it to the hearing of a highly religious teacher and get the beating of their lives not knowing its ya fault cheesy

No ooo, we tell them some people feel those parts are not to be mentioned outside the home but we believe they are smart and need to know. They know that people are judgmental towards those things. They don't attend school where a teacher can just beat them. Me I go flog that teacher too no be lie grin grin grin funny enough they never said anything to non family members. in short I think they discuss such only with us and their grand ma they have NEVER gone to anyone else to discuss issues about the body.

In my opinion start as soon as they ask and also make them know that not everyone appreciates talking about such things so anytime they need to talk, they wait till dad and mom are available. Also tailor the lesson according to the child's mental capacity and environment.

Re: Would You Be Comfortable Having The Sex Talk With Your Kids? by Nobody: 11:32pm On Jan 05, 2018
this is the one most important and Scarry talk a parent could ever give to a kid ...


its so Scarry most parents use religion or society to cover it up abandoning this kids to their own fate at an age when a simple talk could lead them to doing the right thing.

The goal of Real sex education is NOT ABOUT PREVENTION BUT RATHER PROTECTION. whatever measures you will be taking ,whatever long speech you intend to give to them make sure its not about preventing the child from......because it so happens its in our DNA to defile rules or laws ...parents have to start taking sex education serious

Twale to african parents!!

Ope was taught and so his parents were comfy when his female friends started visiting frequently, though they gave him 'the talk' on pregnancy.

His girl, younger than him told him to man up and get laid. A friend arranged for these sweet 16s, and they had sex... OPE is very cautious now, but getting laid is now like drugs. Good with words that rarely is he turned down. I no fit talk to am again cos he no go hear unlike when i was like 'big bro' to him. To make it worse, he now schools in ghana. I have him in my prayers sha. 22yrs and now a 'legend' grin

It isn't that easy as you thought, I never experienced it in my life, but I've promise myself that am going to discuss everything I experience before my kids when start breeding them.

Nooo...

Jeez... Like how will I start? No sex talks till any of them gets to13.

Then I can start introducing some lil tips and ***** to them.

Start slowly from when they are kids. There are a ton of Peados out in these streets hunting for kids. At least let your kids know that no one is to touch or handle their privates and teach them to report anyone who does. Then when they get a little older you keep adding to what you have taught them. It not only makes them aware but also makes it easier for you.
