Sex: When were you okay with your parents knowing?!
Question: Sex: When were you okay with your parents knowing.?
I can talk to my mother about anything. But growing up, we never talked about sex. Sure I got the sex talk once or twice, but I was always weird about it.
Well, I went to the doctors a couple days ago and my mom followed in. The doctor asked if I was sexual active cause my symptoms were related to pregnancy. So, I said yes. (I wasn't pregnant in the end)
So, I feel a little weird my mom knows for sure I'm sexual active...but overall...I don't care. I'm 20 and finally couldn't care less.
When were you comfortable.? Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Well Im with you all as well....Never felt comfortable talking about it with my parents...Will never forget the day I rang my Mum to tell her she was going to be a grandmother. I was 25 and married, but still too terrified to ring her because all I could think was....NOW she will know what Ive been up to. lol. My husband and best friend ended up pushing me into the bedroom with the phone and told me they would not let me out till I had made the call...After all it was six months into the pregnancy and we had known from week 3.....
But
From the other side of the argument,
because of the fact that I could never talk to my parents, my husband and I were determined that our daughter would never be placed in the same horrible situation. So we always had completely honest and open chatting boundaries at home. We told her from day one that she had a right to her own opinion and as a member of our family she needed to have input into any decisions we made and we cherished listening to her or answering anything she wanted to know. Talking about sex, bodies and relationships was as everyday as all other subjects. I have always been very grateful for the difficult relationship I had with my Mum, as it made me demand so much more from myself when it came to my daughter....
Until.......My beautiful 19 year daughter comes home and tells me about her first date with the love of her life and how she is contemplating sleeping with him..........
And, I just don't want to hear any of it...because afterall that is my Baby Girl and boys just shouldn't be doing that with her (because NO boy will ever be good enough for her)......and if she is old enough to be doing that sort of thing, then Im really really old and about to be replaced and made redundant etc,. etc. etc. lol....
So all I can say to you, is Yep, its hard talking to your parents about this stuff, but as parents, its not a piece cake hearing this stuff either...lol.

I wasn't ever okay with my mum knowing, but i knew she'd rather know than not. I wanted to go on the pill and could have without her knowing but i felt it was wrong, i'd been in a long term relationship, she knew the guy and liked him and i was legally able to have sex so there was nothing she could say. It also made her more respectful of what me and jack were going to do. And i got her trust. But yeah, i agree... It's wierd her knowing!!!Health Question & Answer
Never as well! I was never comfortable! I had a baby boy in April and my mum wanted nothing to do with the trips to the midwife or be there for labour or for the birth ! She wouldn't even come to hospital unless my dad pushed her!
And I didn't even get the sex talk until school and i had two classes on it! Pathetic hey!
So 7months later, I still can't talk about anything baby body with her like breastfeeding or my stomach or my periods so yeah depends on your parents I guess and those that can talk these things with there parents are very lucky! Health Question & Answer

Your 20 sweetheart- And you will learn that mums know almost everything that their daughters do.
Some Mums choose to except it but NOT talk about it. So if she doesnt bring it up consider yourself lucky she doesnt want the details.

It depends on how comfortable you are with sex drive and how much you want them to know for example: simply saying I am sexual active far differs from giving details about orgasms and foreplay. It should all be understood by your parents. Actually parents can probably give you the best advice about sexual intercourse as most sexual problems (premature ejaculation, lack of an orgasm, erectile dysfunction, ect.) are mostly genetically traceable so it is highly likely that your parents have gone through the same sexual experiences both good and bad. According to the University of California San Diego 61 percent of parents are aware of their child's sexual activity by the age of 17.
When i was an 11 years old I found it quite helpful and informing to talk to my parents about my sexual experiences which had started in that year.
I believe it benefits both the child and the parent to be informed of where the child is sexually and what is going on in their life as early as possible. It creates a bonding effect between child and parent that will prove to be beneficial in the long run.
