Actually, there's no real reason that the third discussion can't also encompass the first two. You could even build the discussion around some nice after-dinner family time spent watching porn as an illustration of a) where babies come from and b) what a healthy sexual life can look like. You want to avoid creating unreasonable hang-ups that might stifle your child's natural curiosity, of course; when watching the bukkake scene, for example, do not express value judgments -- for example, Oh my god, that's disgusting, see, that woman has no sense of self-worth and is totally debasing herself to those men. Don't ever do that, honey. Because, as most child psychologists will tell you, what this a actually does is create a very real possibility of instilling the beginnings of self-loathing and a "sex is evil" attitude in your child's young, still-forming brain -- and just imagine if she's already participated in the act that you're watching together! My gosh, can you even imagine the guilt with which you'd be saddling her? Why, she'll walk away from your talk believing that you think she's nothing but a classless whore, and what kind of a father does that make you? It makes you one who raised a self-loathing, classless whore. Good job there, bucko.

So don't be that father. Instead of that, be supportive and non-judgmental: Well, that woman certainly does appear to enjoy that, doesn't she honey. Hope there's a shower nearby! and let your child form her own conclusions. Except for stuff invovlving furries, of course, you can mock the shiat of that.

AngryJailhouseFistfark: Honestly, I do not understand men who just don't care about her climax. No.

Well ... it's pretty easy to understand. They're selfish bastards. My wife dated a guy who was like that for three years. I don't consider myself particularly talented, but I learned at a fairly young age that if you ask her to tell you what she likes, you can learn it. Anyway, if a guy is so selfish that he won't even bother to do that, then he's definitely not going to be up for the sacrifices that really loving another person entail.

The wife and I solved this problem years ago by allowing the children to sit in our bedroom and watch as mommy and daddy went at it. During our session we would often stop to explain to the kids just what we were doing, why we were doing it and how it made us feel good. This is a much healthier way to let the kids learn about this topic. They are now getting to the age where we also provide them with their own tissues and hand lotion. Extra added bonus is we don't need to slow down when the pizza delivery boy shows up. They can answer the door, let him in the house and guide him to our love tryst location. Show and tell days in school are a real hoot also.

There should be two talks:

For boys:
"Son, don't yank it so hard that you tear it off. It can be sewn back on, but it will never be the same."

For girls,
"Yes dear, men really are like that, except very few of them can last that long. No, they're not really into all those weird positions, that's just so that they can get a camera angle which shows what's going on. Finally, expect to bring yourself to orgasm most of the time."

I think most kids could explain Internet porn to their parents.

This all just reads like another excellent reason not to have kids.

Oh yes, recently ran into this with my son. Apparently got exposed to his first porn pop up (updated the popup blocker, yes, after this) and got curious.

He's 13. He didn't want to see a bunch of 21 year olds. So it was perfectly logical to him to search for "13 year old porn".

There was major, major discussion. It has not happened again.

/the things I never knew I would ever have to actually spell out for my children to NOT do
