Men talk between father and his son

[blackman79]

There is a rather sensitive topic

Why is the discussion between father and son, whether the son is a young man or a teenager, about puberty and the intimate parts of men somewhat difficult, unlike a mother with her daughter on this subject, who are more comfortable?

Why is the father or son ashamed to explain the signs of puberty, such as the growth of pubic hair and the enlargement of the testicles and penis?

Or sudden erection or wet dream.

Anyone who has experience in this field or has been exposed to a similar situation, we hope that this will help us, especially we are parents and we want to raise our children with a sound and healthy sexual education.

Hithank you for raising a difficult issue; it cannot have been easy. I was generally raised by my mother who bought a book called 'sex for boys'.

I went to a single sex school all we had was biology with one lesson on the topic.

I never had one single conversation about these issues with my father about it.

With my own sons I have tried to be open but not very successfully.

I would suggest giving them a suitable book (there are modern equivalents of the one I was given) to read then sitting down and discussing it.

You can talk about the book, this makes it a third party issue, less embarassing for everyone involved.

Good luck

This is a good topic to bring up, many cannot bring themselves to start the conversation with sons, this is anything from nerves, embarrassment or one or both parties don’t want the conversation.

I think it’s best to do it, honesty is the best policy, start from a very young age, be open, make sure there is no embarrassment with bodies, make any questions or topic allowed and open, there is lots now online and easily accessible to all.

I’ve always been open with my kids and they’ve been brought up knowing that nudity isn’t wrong or dirty. My 2 boys have never had any issues talking/showing me penis problems they’ve had. Even now in their mid-late teens. All us boys have willies just various shapes and sizes but they’re all normal

Best parenting mate, always open and honest talk, no embarrassment 👍

Good subject to bring up. My Parents where divorced, although I visited Dad regularly we never discussed such issues.

I came home from school one day, aged about 13, to find a book on my bed. Can't remember the title but sounds similar to the one described by Iro1.
