I think the best way to approach is with honesty, humility, and a whole lot of humor. Too many parents instill a horrible sense of shame about sex and natural desires that many adults never get rid of. As an alumni of the same awful Christian school that Kameron went to, I saw too many people get their sex lives ruined...forever!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17597053572374979301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151327679333921021.post-86566105582882589552009-04-30T17:38:00.000-05:002009-04-30T17:38:00.000-05:00Yeah, I didn't even know we could masturbate, that...Yeah, I didn't even know we <I>could</I> masturbate, that it was even possible. It had never even occurred to me, and thinking about it all throughout college and everything? Still makes me insanely uncomfortable.

You know, my parents never talked about that with me...I had no clue about it until I was much older. <br /><br />My feeling is that every child is gonna be curious and I don't want my kids feeling ashamed of their bodies. If I do happen to see them touching themselves, I just tell them it's something we do in private. They seem cool with it...they don't seem embarrassed and I prefer it that way.Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743718606624231459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151327679333921021.post-17812745210025515522009-04-29T20:57:00.000-05:002009-04-29T20:57:00.000-05:00Well, i really wanted to see that episode of Oprah...Well, i really wanted to see that episode of Oprah but it kept getting interrupted by the news about all the fires! I agree that a mother should talk to her daughter about it! But I for one have never participated in the deed, I have no desire. But it is a natural thing and daughters do need to know that. My mother also didn't give me any talks about ANYTHING,and b/c of that my biggest goal as a mother with a daughter is to have the relationship w/her that I never had w/my mom. And to open those lines of communication that I never had w/my mom. Good Luck w/that! I will be coming to you later for advice since your daughter is older than mine!

My mom being slightly unconventional would try to bring up verbotten topics and I would just say "Oh my god mom, shut up". I think your kids have a fighting chance since they don't have the double standard of someone preaching in their face all day for 13 years!!Kameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05199445405655840970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151327679333921021.post-58569058000850625782009-04-29T09:09:00.000-05:002009-04-29T09:09:00.000-05:00Leave it up to you to come up with a topic like th...Leave it up to you to come up with a topic like this. LOL<br /><br />I dont think that kids should be conditioned EVER for any reason that there actions will mean they are going to hell. Whether we believe that there is a hell or we dont, a kid should NEVER have to face such fears.<br /><br />As for the deed, Im not sure we should be teaching our kids how to do it or anything about it for that matter. I think it is a natural part of aging and self discovery myself. <br /><br />I dont see the double standard though. I never heard anyone say that it was ok for boys to do it, or not ok for girls to do it. Your right thought that no one talks about it. This just goes back to the age old issue of avoiding what makes us feel uncomfortable. I say face your fears. Dare to be different! Crash through the walls of things that make you feel uncomfortable. there is somehting very rewarding to this. That is why everyone should do the vlog thing. It is unknown, scary, and for sure uncomfortable.<br /><br />I agree with you on this.<br /><br />BubblesTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05407718659973399038noreply@blogger.com
