Finally had the birds and bees talk - went better than expected
My 12yo boy asked some serious questions about relationships and intimacy. I was nervous but remembered that God created sex and it's not dirty, it's holy within marriage. Focused on teaching him respect, that this is between a husband and wife, and that his body is a temple. He seemed relieved to talk to me about it instead of getting garbage information from friends. Prayer beforehand really helped me stay calm and biblical.
Good for you for having that talk. A lot of guys dodge it and then wonder why their kids are getting bad info from friends. You did right by him.
