The other day I took my son for his physical. His doctor told me that now is the time that most kids start to ask questions about sex. His suggestion was to bring up sexaulity to my son, not explicitally, just to carefully ask him some questions first.

I asked him if he had started to notice any differences between the girls and boys at his school. He said, "Yes, girls are dumb and gross and boys aren't. Sierra tries to kiss me with her gross lips in the cafeteria and on the bus!! She says I'm her boyfriend and that we're going to the prom when we're in high school. I told her that I don't want a stupid girlfriend but she doesn't listen. She's dumb and gross and bossy like my sisters."

His answers were funny but I think they also show that he is no way ready to start learning about sex. I wondered how parents here have handled "the talk" or how your parents told you about sex. I remember my dad giving me a book about sex when I was about 10 (an age approperiate book, with questions, answers and some pictures). He cleverly included it in a stack of regular kid's books and gave them to me all at once.
