unprotected sex

[lilwing89]

is OV still a V? (does anybody remember OV?)

I don't believe he's part of that club anymore.

Apparently he put it to a non-virgin.

The irony.

Wow, when did this happen???

[vashti]

And are you sure you'd wanna give your little boy sex advice?

I think you should leave that stuff to the males on the boards.

He's not so little, and no, I wouldn't want to give explicit advice about HOW to have sex. I don't really give specific advice about that to anyone. I was thinking more about relationship advice and advice about sexual health.

He is pretty open with me for now, especially in comparison to my friend's kids and my sister's kids, but I see he is getting to the point where he is feeling a bit uncomfortable discussing these things with me, even though I know he trusts my advice. His dad would talk to him, but my husband is rather shy about the whole thing and is easily flustered by blunt questions.

It would be nice for him to have an older guy to get (good) advice from...

I think it's on the "OV wants this date!" thread.

Hey well you know where to send him! Leave the forum URL somewhere where he'll "accidently" find it. We'll point him in the right direction for sure.

[vashti]

Thanks Fras... I actually think he would get good advice from you.

[King Zarathu]

He needs to start hanging out with me.

Maybe things will be a bit more secure when this male birth control pill is finalized and released. I read last year they were predicting on 5 years to go with it . . .

Does it have a "morning after" version?

[daletom]

Anyway, yes - I am old AND in college. This is what happens when you start reproducing during your college years - you have to humiliate yourself by taking classes with the youngsters at a later date.

But college classes are SO much more fun - and interesting - when you're over 40!! (Says the guy who was 52 when he donned cap & gown to receive a degree.)

You get credit for relating life-experiences, even if they don't really answer the question.

Persons of the opposite sex ask you to help with assignments.

And it's kind of cool to realize that your age and imagined wisdom is intimidating to all the younger folks in the room - including the poor fellow behind the podium!

[daletom]

Not really. My firstborn was planned. I got pregnant with my second while we were trying to decide whether or not we would have any more. Both of my kids are fantastic human beings, in my opinion.

Our experience too - "Unplanned" is not at all like "Unloved"!!

[daletom]

I just tell people what I would want my kids to hear if they were too embarrassed to ask me something and sought info on the internet.

That's what I think, too. But if too many of us old parents get on here, the 17-year-olds will figure out that we all belong to the same union and stick together - and then the 17-year-olds will stop reading our posts.

Nah - 17 year olds usually like me AND my advice, but only since I am not their mom.

Ha! I've actually had two professors who were younger than me. And I don't really mind too much being an older student. I am learning a LOT more now than I would have when I was 18. Plus, every professor I've had has loved having adult students.

Exactly! Other kids' parents are almost always more credible than their own. Which is why we parents are always getting together to conspire against our kids.

(I realized this when I got really involved with Scouts, but coaching sports or volunteering in Church youth groups probably has the same effect. We talk about parenting problems, and next thing you know some other parent accomplishes with one sentence what we've been trying to do for years! Then you realize it doesn't matter WHO said it, as long as it wasn't the kid's own mom or dad.)
