Would you rather have your Mom or Dad talk to you about sex?

Contributor: KrystalFayeO KrystalFayeO
My son is only 15 months old, but I wonder when he gets older if I should talk to him about it, or let his father? If his father puts it off for too long, would it be ok for me to step in? For guys, would you feel awkward talking to your Mom about sex?

My parents both talked to me. Mom talked to me about the female stuff, dad came in for everything else so they could both talk together.

I don't have any kids, but I did have the talk with my little 13 year old brother in-law. I know that his mom will not give him any kind of a talk because she didn't even tell her two older daughters what to expect when they got their periods. My wife said that she thought she was going to die when it happened. I think that my mother in-law would kill me because she makes him wear one of those purity rings and goes to all of the weird purity events with him. He already knows stuff, so you might as well tell him how to protect himself if he so feels like doing something one day.

Neither of my parents had any kind of talk with me, which is kind of nice because it would have been pretty ackword. The closest thing to a sex talk they had with me was when they found a box of condums under my bed when I was 15. They went ballistic on me so I told them that I would take the box that wasn't opened back to the store that I got them at. After I took them back they asked if I was still going to be having sex, so I told them yes, just without protection for now on.

My mom is the one who talked to me about puberty and sex, and I would have felt less comfortable talking to my Dad about it. My Dad and I have really only had 1 conversation about sex, and it was just him saying to be careful, don't do anything you're not ready for, and always use protection.

I think it's probably more comfortable to hear it from the parent who is the same gender as the child. I would have preferred to have the talk from my mom, but she died before any of that stuff was relevant to me so I never really had a "talk"

My son asks questions of both of us, so I think he's fairly comfortable with us both answering.

I would think the parent that is the same gender for the big talk. I plan with my kids to make the talk a group effort. I want my boys to know they can tell me anything.

I would rather talk to my mom since I'm a girl. I also have a younger son but I plan on being open without being weird or pressuring, but letting dad lead the way on it since they have the same equipment. Either way, it depends on the kid, but knowing that he can come to either of you will definitely be a good option to have regardless.

Oops, I missed the "for guys" part. But I think that in general, the parent of the same gender is both more comfortable and is going to understand more.

I'm the one who talked to my daughter about sex. I believe fathers are the ones who should deal with the sons, seems to me it's easier for the same gender when it comes to sex ed.

I'm a guy, and I don't think it would easy to talk to my mom about sex. My dad and I have talked about it before, though.
