[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 399409, member: 6705"] I have to share here... Of course, BM took care of telling Onyxx all of this stuff - at age 5. Convinced the child that she would have her first period before she turned 8 (one week before her 12th birthday actually). Onyxx had several invasive pelvic exams and was likely molested several times. So, when husband and I broached the subject, of course Onyxx knew quite a bit about it (NOT the proper way to explain to a child!). So we are still working on damage control. Jett, on the other hand, is mostly clueless. About a week ago, he was talking (on and on and on)... And out of the blue said, "I don't know what this word some kids on the bus were saying means." I got that - OMG - here it comes feeling, asked what word. Turned out to be masturbation. So I explained it simply - people do it because it feels good. It's something you don't do out in public though, it's private. It's not a bad thing, and everyone does it now and then. He informed me that Mommy and Onyxx NEVER did it and he didn't think I did... Did I? Told him, yeah, I have, and Mommy and Onyxx probably have too. This bit of info apparently crossed his border because the next line was about cat poo. husband has discussed s*x with Jett, too, but we still aren't sure he "gets" it. I'm actually more concerned with someone taking advantage of [I]him[/I] than the other way round. [/QUOTE]
