If they hadn't discovered it already I'd wait until they were 12 - 13 to tell them to masturbate privately like everyone else.

i guess this has more to do with my being conditioned to be averse to frank conversations about sex between parents and kids, but i'm just the slightest bit squicked out that jada mentioned it like that. not to say willow shouldn't learn about that stuff, but i know that i'd die if my mom mentioned that to me. hooray for honesty?



on a different note, i WISH i could overdo it. i feel like i need to take at least a 1 hour nap in between each one.

I'm nearly 30 and I still change the channel when people so much as kiss when watching TV with my mom so I can't imagine talking about how often I orgasm or whether or not I over do it. Parents like this are annoying and exhausting. Yes talk about sex with your kids, be open that they can come to you if they have any questions but what she's doing is too much! Her and the grandma are a mess.

It’s crazy that you don’t see you not being able to watch someone kiss in front of your mom as being too much....

I had the opposite experience growing up. My parents were very open with affection and talking about sex (appropriately for age.) My mom sold sex toys for a living though so lol.



So it was really weird for me to grow up and mostly hear stories like yours instead of mine. Like sex scenes are awkward around my parents... but we live, lol.

It seems like a lot to share with your child but I also respect her for being so comfortable to speak about her sexuality in that manner. I didn't want my parents talking about multiple orgasms to me but I wish they would have been more open with dialogue about what to expect, safe sex, etc.

Even if she is, idgaf. Female self pleasure has been shamed for so long we need open, healthy discussions about it.

My very conservative South Asian mom never talked to me about sex. Ever. Let alone masturbation lol. I didn't even know what a period was until I got mine and my mom was forced to explain what was happening. I guess my mom thought I would just figure it out on my own? Which I did but I was so uncomfortable with my sexuality for the longest time.

My mom didn't have the period talk with me either but that was only because she didn't think I would get it at such a young age. I got mine at 10 but I already knew about it through health class at school so it wasn't that traumatic.

lol omg same. Only my school hadn't started teaching that stuff yet (they would the next year) AND I got it at church. So I was 10, in the church bathroom, sobbing because I thought God was condemning me to death for sinning cuz I snuck a cookie that morning.

i was a nerd, so i already knew what it was and didn't ask anyone. i stole pads from my mother and when she found out, she told me that she was glad i knew what to do so she didn't have to be bothered. i'm sure you can assume how the sex talk went.

My dad managed to tell me about periods and the "facts of life", but I think he barely survived it, hah. I have never seen someone grimace so hard in my life. I remember thinking he was about to tell me someone had died!

Omg same here but like someone else mentioned, I knew about it because we got sex ed in fifth grade so I knew it was coming. The first time I didn't believe it was my period because it was a brown spot and it took a while to happen again. I must have been 11 or 12 at most. I remember my friend telling me she had her period and took a while for it to show up again (for her it was a year) so I knew that that was normal. I never told my Mom until later because all of her family got their periods really late, so I didn't want her to be like making it a big deal like she always does. Till this day she says I got it almost at 14.

I picked up all of that info from a video they made us watch in 6th grade.



Thank the lord. I'm 30 and would probably still be waiting for one of my parents to have 'the talk' with me.

My parents aren't conservative by my means..yet, I don't remember ever having a sex or menstruation talk.



Maybe they expected my shitty public education to take care of it..?



I didn't get my period until freshman year in hs & my mom seemed concerned it took so long.

i like sex positivity and body positivity from parents of course, but i feel like sometimes parents want to involve themselves too much in what doesn't belong to or involve them...



like who wants to think 'oh wait maybe i'll try that tip mom gave me' when masturbating, or just know parent's thoughts on your sex toys or orgasms?



i mean, i think a parent should respect boundaries and that their own child's intimate lives that don't need to involve their input.

Agreed. I think that’s what’s bothering me about this. There are still boundaries that should be observed.
