I hope a certain Mudcat member chooses to post here. A daughter, aged about 9, asked "What is a blow job?" Mudcat member had sworn to the children that they could ask anything and never be told a lie. A carefully and accurately worded explanation was given. Child was satisfied and somewhat horrified. "Gross" if I remember correctly. Children only ask what they are ready to hear or what they have heard at school. Open, honest discussion is only fair.

I had similar talks with my son. Sometimes a little awkward for both of us but he asked what he needed to know and I gave him the information I thought was appropriate. I kept in mind that my first introduction to sex was a friend's explanation, straight from her mother, that when a woman wants a baby, she and her husband go to the hospital. He pees in her and that makes a baby. End of story.
Gross!

That girl had two illegitimate pregnancies. Too much information or misleading information? Go figure.
