smiley Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Oh 'eck! S*x-Ed at school.......... THE video!! I'm very, very open and honest with Little Monkey about our bodies, how they work, how to make babies, and all that jazz........ so he's already 'in the know'.. I knew the video was going to be shown (teachers had to pre-warn us!), so i was expecting something to be said on the way home from school. Me "Whatcha do today hun?". Lil Monkey "We watched a programme about cats, and kittens, and human development" Me "How was it?" Lil Monkey "Ohhhhhhhh mum, i already KNOW how all that happens.......... but do they really need to show me on telly? I think a drawing would have been nicer. It was not pleasant" Took me a couple of minutes to compose myself............. Me "Soooooo, what happened in the programme?" Lil Monkey "They were making a baby" Me "Did it make sense? Did you understand it?" Lil Monkey "Yes, i know what goes where (!!!!! ) and how it's all done. But i'm not having any babies when i'm older, so i wont need to" *I had one of those 'should i? shouldn't i?' moments......... Me "Erm... hun, grown up's dont just do that to have babies, it's a way of showing someone extra special that you love............" His face was sheer horror!! He looked at me as though i'd grown another head - and an alien one at that......... Lil Monkey "Why on EARTH would anyone wanna do THAT!!!????" Me "Ummmmmm 'coz it feels nice...." Lil Monkey "Yuk, gross, i am never, ever growing up" :lol: And that was just the drive home!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flora Report post Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) My youngest DS recently had 'THE Talk' at school. He told me all about it and had me in convulsions laughing. He said it was the most embarrassing experience of his life and that all of his friends had faces like tomatoes. He said to me 'We even had to do a work sheet on it'...... Apparently the work sheet asked about wet dreams (sorry) and on the work sheet he described it as 'when you wake up all sweaty' Flo' Edited July 3, 2008 by Flora Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

warrenpenalver Report post Posted July 3, 2008 they do sex ed at 9 these days???? Mine wasnt until i was 13 or 14 but it didnt mean much to me then as i was more into lego and toys than girls. The idea of kissing girls was "ewwwww yucky" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Oh Smiley Well done, you handled that well The "cos it feels nice" made me giggle I've had a letter home today and eldest DD will be learning about puberty next week....I'm scared, very, very scared, although we have made a little bit of progress in that direction since my disastrous chat with her, so fingers crossed she's is partly prepared Some very strange things in books that I've bought or borrowed from the library for DD .......one described certain lady area's as the "baby making place" and went on the describe that mummy has to stretch her baby making place very wide Then found another soley aimed at girls, which I thought would be more appropriate, but found things like "don't worry about your hips getting wider, it happens as you get older and makes you more of a gorgeous babe....and just imagine how great your crop tops will look" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sallya Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Ds didn't have sex ed with his class, the teach loaned me her videos so I could go through it at home with him. After he came back from the yr 6 residential trip last week, he wanted me to buy him some deodrant to stop him getting stinky and sweaty, he shoved it on in the shop and stuck his head in his t shirt for a sniff and came out saying"I smell good!"

warrenpenalver Report post Posted July 3, 2008 Nah, best not, you havn't heard DH's comments as he reads them and Daddy's views on the baby making place Im still quite niaive and managed to get myself into trouble with the girlfriend asking some stupid questions rather than looking it up online. Problem online is when you type certain things into a search engine you get a lot of "undesirable" websites rather than factual ones I just do what im told rather than ask stupid questions or apparently i give her a look "like shes got 10 heads" if i dont understand. I prefer bunny rabbits much simpler to understand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jo4themo Report post Posted July 3, 2008 N also had sex ed last week and watched a birth video! She is only 9 but has just started puberty (has lots of hormones at the mo and son't we know it!!)so her school asked us if we thought she should go to the lessons as they are really meant for the Year 5 and 6 groups. We said yes as we had already told her the basics - eg what will happen to her body, plus she has a fab book that explains how sperm meets egg , but weren't sure what she would make of the birth video. We needn't have worried as she was fine about it, very interested and she actually told me about it (she NEVER talks about shcool unless it is something interesting to her) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ASue67 Report post Posted July 3, 2008 My eldest has just been having sex ed sessions at school............ I am gobsmacked at how much they show them and tell them to be honest. He was told about wet dreams and is now worried about it cos it doesn't sound nice and the other night he told me his willy was hard and he didn't like how it felt I am very open with both my boys when they ask me things on this topic but I feel they are given toooooo much unnecessary info at this stage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(sorry, I couldn't continue writing that, you know us Aspie types don't lie ... ) But I am perfectly innocent - We didn't even have such 'education' when I was small. I'm naive, innocent and fresh-faced...like the driven snow... ...just a shame it hasn't really snowed for years bwuhahahahahahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScienceGeek Report post Posted July 4, 2008 I remember a couple of years ago my wife and her colleague were going to do a sex ed talk in a school, they had loads of condoms and demonstrators in the boot when they were stopped by the police. Apparently the look on the police officers face when they searched the car was bright red. They use a blue willy (smurf willy) so there isn't any racial bias, it is the most amusing thing I have ever seen. I'm sure real ones aren't supposed to be that colour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiley Report post Posted July 6, 2008 We had a wander in town today - i absolutely love chatting with him over a milkshake.... Anyhow, we took out usual detour into the bookshop. He found a book called 'Let's talk about Sex. Growing up, Changing Bodies, Sex and Sexual Health' Had a read through, and then asked me if we can buy it - he's been looking through it since we came home (it's very good) and seems to be passed the squeamish bit, and is understanding much more. Awwwww my baby's growing up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
