Facts Every Boy Needs to Know about Sex

A great article about what boys need to know about sex. I have seen many teenagers for therapy and no one discussed sexuality with them. In today’s world that is very dangerous.

Many teenage boys as old as 16 years old report that their fathers and mothers have never discussed sex or sexuality with them. Many of the facts that the boys have regarding sex are wrong and could get them in to trouble with the law. For example, they are in possession of a nude picture of their girlfriend that they have violated child pornography laws. The girl might be his girlfriend but, she is under the age of 18. Therefore, it is child pornography.

In addition to issues such as pictures, there is the issue of consent which is a major issue. How do boys know if they have consent or if a girl decides to withdraw her consent. If they withdraw their consent, then the boy is guilty of rape.

Also sex has changed a lot. There are now Friends with Benefits and Hookups that use to occur in college but, now they are occurring in high school and middle school.

Boys in Middle school and High school have enough problems trying to figure out what is going on with their bodies and the sexual feelings they are having without needing to figure out what is appropriate or not. Therefore, they need someone to talk to them about sex and sexuality.

I know this subject is difficult to discuss with your son who is 13 years old or 16 years old. However, you don’t want them to learn about sex and sexuality from their friends or worse from pornography. Therefore, you need to talk to your sons.

This article discusses all the issues you need to discuss with your son about sex and sexuality. Everything is laid out very clearly and it is very easy to use. I have included the link to the article so please read & discuss with your son https://medium.com/hello-love/14-things-you-must-teach-your-son-about-sex-d63f7d1953fe.
