My son is only 6 right now but he has already "discovered" himself. I explained to him that it was a private thing and if he needed to touch himself please close his door and I will knock before coming in. I hope this prompts him when he is older to come to me with any questions he has.

When he does come to me I will explain not only the perks, but the consequences as well. I hope to have at least 10 more years before he actually wants to have sex, but you never know. So I hope to have him educated and safe when the time comes.



(If I had a choice though I would lock him up until he was married. )

When I was little (4 or 5), I asked my mom how I was created. My mom told me that her egg was fertilized by my dad's sperm. It became a fertilized egg. After the fertilized egg grew in her body for 9 months, she gave birth to me. I was satisfied with the answer, and didn't question about the process anymore until I was 13. If I ever have children, this is what I would tell them.
