[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 210487, member: 3419"] Hi Weenie, welcome. Yes, 11 is right on target. My son started at 9-1/2 ! He's into "that," too, but he does not do it at school and at home, shuts his door. My husband bought him a book that is quite useful (it's very hard to find an appropriate book for that age--you either get picture books on potty training, or adult way-too-detailed info). The What's Happening to my Body Book for Boys, by Lynda Madaras [URL="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=The+What%27s+Happening+to+my+Body+Book+for+Boys%2C&x=17&y=20"]http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=The+What%27s+Happening+to+my+Body+Book+for+Boys%2C&x=17&y=20[/URL] We pretty much just gave difficult child the book and let him look at it on his own. husband said he had a few questions, but mostly wanted to read it alone because he was embarrassed. I offered to talk and if looks could kill, I'd be dead by now, LOL! :funny: We read difficult child the riot act about not looking at porn online because A) it's the best way to get a computer virus; B) It's degrading to people in the picture; C) It's feeding into a drug fueled industry and most of the women in the photos don't have a clue what they're doing and they, along with-the men, will end up with-a disease. We encourage him to look at nude art in museums, and professional, attractive models. We have not encouraged him to buy any guys' magazines yet. :sick: Maybe a cousin somewhere will do that when he's 17, but not when he's 11 ! I would try not to make too big a deal out of it because if you make it a really BAD thing, he'll want to get more involved and do things behind your back. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
