Do you discuss relationship and sex with your sons?

We have 8 kids all of age except our 10 year old. Yes we talked about it, I even talked to the boys and vice versa. Who ever they would ask would answer what they wanted to know, or just in passing we would talk. I'm very open on the subject as far as I'm concerned it is a normal part of life. For whatever reason some waited and some didn't. Even taking them to get birth control for the ones that said they knew they would be didn't work all the time. We had 2 teen pregnancies. However one is still with the bf and now married and have 4 kids. The other one is a mystery to me and I will never understand her but still love her. We in fact are raising her first one which is our 10 year old. Not something I had planned but it was our choice and it is a long long story .. lol Anyways the answers is yes I think if you don't you beg for more trouble then we even got being open about it.

@manandezo No,I can't talk with my son about thelse things.In fact,I can't. It's so embarrassing.

I would never forbid my children to have a girlfriend (or boyfriend if they turn out to be that way inclined). I'd set rules, of course, but an outright ban is rarely known to do much other than promote rebellion. My boys know they can talk to me about anything, although I would rather they, being boys, spoke to a man (whether Dad or an uncle or their older cousin) simply because there may be some things that, being a woman, I don't know. As children mature so differently, it's hard to say, though. I mean, I have a 12 year old who is very much a pre-teen whereas his brother, now 17, was still much more of a 'little boy' at 12. So the conversations would be different depending on whether it was just a cute little special friendship or an actual girlfriend. Either way, yes, I would talk to them.

My oldest daughter has a "boyfriend" at church. It's cute at this age and healthy in my opinion. She's 11 years old. My parents banned me from dating or having any real relationship until I was 18 years old and I suffered from it to be honest. When I moved out I went wild and got stupid for a little bit. I would rather allow things than not and they do things behind my back. I also would prefer they get the right information about things from me rather than the wrong info from their friends.

Since I don't have any children yet. But I think it is not appropriate to talk about this to a child. I can be brushed off the concern.

Forbidding a girl from even going out will only make the situation worse. Children will have the curiosity to know more about the things that we say you shouldn't be knowing this and you shouldn't do that. So it is better to educate them in a way they will understand and behave accordingly.

I think in class 8 and 9 students are taught about it to make them aware.
