Daddy's Pee Pee

[Evangelicalhumanist]

I don't think dad should be showing his young daughters his package. There are other ways to show them the difference. What would happen if those girls told their teacher "dad showed us his johnson"? Or tell the neighbor guy "do you have a thingy like my dad, can I see it? Daddy showed me his". Or they might think it's ok for a man to show them his johnson.
After all he could say his teaching them too. They are many things that can be seen wrong in it.

Now you. Why is it ok for dad to show his daughter's his johnson but you think its odd for mom to show her son's her kitty?

Kids can be taught the difference between family and others, just as easily as they can be taught anything else. As a matter of fact, they should be, quite early on.

Prepubescent girls don't ever need to see a full grown man naked. Imo, sex education should be taught strictly on a need to know basis.

Disagree completely. Part of sex education includes things like "consent" and the potential dangers, which do exist.

However, when very young, my personal view is that the very best thing a parent or guardian can do is to simply answer children's questions, without embarrassment, and just as it was asked. Kids will leave it once they're satisfied, and when something more occurs to them, they'll ask another question. In general, even precocious children won't ask questions that are too difficult to answer, so long as you keep your answer to just the question asked.

Yes they can be taught but like the cat, they remain curious until they get older.

Sex before puberty is abnormal, hence, sex education doesn't need to be taught to any prepubescent children or to students who are in elementary school grades before the sixth grade.

When a female has her first ever menstrual cycle, then that is when she is mature enough to learn sex education. When a male has his first ever erection, then that is when he is old enough to learn sex education.

Boys start getting erections in the womb, and the darned thing keeps popping up all over the place. It is a fact that children typically discover those wonderful sources of entertainment, the hands and feet, very early, but it isn't much later that they discover their genitals, and the pleasures that they can provide, especially with a little help from those magic hands.

Kids have sexual thoughts and questions long before you suppose they do, apparently.

They can also get a calculus book but neither do them any good until they know what it's for and how to use it

Oh, please, the difference is vast. I'm truly surprised that you are not aware of the simple fact that children can and do stimulate themselves pleasurably from very early on. I had learned to give myself an orgasm (unproductive, of course) before I was 6. Infant boys (and girls) are both capable of orgasm. I certainly could have used a little competent sex education, but that wasn't available to me, since I had no parents, just orphanage staff.

I've noticed that it's mostly members of the LGBTQ community who have taken this side. That's you, Saint Frank, me, &c. I wonder.

Did you not see the big green grinning smiley at the end? It was a joke.

I don't care how old you were or often or when you played with yourself.

Because I've read that young teenage girls typically get very shy and embarrassed around anything having to do with sex or sexual development, and I was wondering how close you were to that stage. Sounds like you're right on the cusp.

.

We'll see how things develop, but we're still not making a big deal of familial nakedness in front of her, say, walking from the bedroom to the linen cupboard to get a towel or similar. But yes, she does seem to be getting more sensitive about her own body, and we respect that, too.

What "side"?

LGBTQ community who have taken this side. That's you, Saint Frank, me, &c. I wonder.

I think it's because people in that community more readily recognize the damage that results from sexual repression and shame.

Well, you're correct, I missed that it was a joke...my bad, and I apologize

However, I wasn't meaning to talk about me, I was meaning to talk to the fact that whether many people like it or not, children have sexual feelings and questions from very early in life, and I think it important that they learn about sexuality both without fear and embarrassment, and also with some competence and honesty. The world is much more complex than it was, and there's so much more going on that kids can be exposed to, including other sexual identities (possibly even their own), easily available pornography, misinformation and disinformation in the playground and schoolyard, dangerous predators, their own anxieties, and a host of other things.

I would like to say this, too, but for the record, it is only my own conjecture: a lot of children who have had their lives horribly altered by sexual abuse, by family members, people they trusted...including clergy, as we know too well...might well have been in a much better position to defend themselves had they been given enough information early. I think that might be worth thinking about...
