How would you explain the birds and the bees?

[Overcast]

Nowadays, it’s very easy to find information about most basic things. So eventually, a kid will be old and smart enough to Google where babies come from.

Until then, how would you tell any potential kid you might have where babies come from? Or if you already had kids, how did you explain it to them? Did you make up a story or did you tell it to them straight up?

Give them a demonstration with the mother.

I have no idea how normal missionary sex works so I’d just let the education system do it.

The plan for my son is to explain the physical act then the emotional ramifications caused by mental attachment and massive amount of hormones/pheromones/etc involved. Remind them it's a good time but it comes with a lot of attached responsibility and emotional baggage. Then remind him to never, ever stick his dick in fat, crazy or lazy

Bees are gay.

It will depend the age first and foremost.

I should more say maturity level because maybe they are ready at one point I don't want to set a number. Some mature faster than others and it's not always a parenting issue. good parents can have immature (but we'll reared) kids and vice versa.

The talk would also depending who's asking, niece god kid bio kid. I don't ever want to cross parenting lines but I'm the cool uncle so I fear this day may come.

I think I'd follow the idea @TiggerNits has. also if indeed it's a girl asking I'd make sure to demand she talks to mom about girl stuff while I've lived with women and know how it all works, I think it's got to be a lot easier to sort that and some of the literal feelings out with a same sex parent.

knowing my luck kid will ask mom and then he will fly up to me "dad explain boners" while im enjoying an evening tea.

It heavily depends on the child's age, since there are different levels of appropriateness.

To a small child I would be pretty vague but explain that two parents work together to make a baby without any detail. Metaphor is good. "Moms and dads each have a piece of a puzzle and when they put them together they can make a baby."

Elementary schoolers need to learn mostly about their own bodies and that different kids are gonna have different bodies. Letting them learn about both male and female bodies is a good idea here.

To a middle schooler who understands what cells are, you can explain sperm and eggs growing into a fetus while they snicker and give rudimentary safe sex talks in case any of them are crazy enough to try it... and some of them will be crazy enough to try it even though we don't want them to.

To a high schooler you can talk more about the actual process and talk to them about safe sex practices because a lot of them are gonna be trying all that shit and you really don't want them to get knocked up because that's no good for anyone at that age.

I don't even know how I learned but my guess is that unless you homeschool your kid he's gonna learn by itself around the age of 9.

I just showed them uporn vids.

Prob start at age 9-10ish by explaining that children come out of people. Then teach them it slowly through reference to animal biology. By age 11-12ish I'll have fully extrapolated it to a person, and then will get into the domain of teaching them about the pleasures and risks of sex.

I found out around age five. I found a book in my mom’s office entitled “How Babies are Made”. I then spent a few years debating with classmates about the practice of reproduction until the teachers told me to knock it off.

It’s not that big of a deal. Puberty is when you gotta tread carefully and be considerate when discussing oncoming changes.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I'd just be honest about it. You know he's going to run and tell all his buddies about it either way, so may as well fill him with factual information.

Unless you want to troll, which actually may be fun.

"When a person of varying skin pigment falls in love with another person of varying skin pigment, and both parties tell each other its okay, they engage in an act of love which also means they said yes which is called consent, but sometimes if more people love each other thats okay too."

 

[The Man From G.R.I.D.S.]

I heard somewhere that a very protective mom (no internet) sat her 8 year old down to explain the basics after she was caught playing doctor. Her daughter said something like, "Oh, you mean a gang-bang?"

All it takes is one kid with a smart phone.

 

[DeadwastePrime]

i'll put it on pornhub and see how they do on the test
