My son's turned 13 and he starts to get erections. He doesn't particularly hide them. Should I tell him to? As a kid he used to be naked on various occasions but what seemed to be ok with a small boy starts to feel weird with an adolescent with obvious sexual issues. I don't particularly want to know when he's aroused or how his penis is developing and I'd like him to cover up. But how can I tell him?
Now, about the first 2 sentences, I'll empathize the second now. I would put it more diplomatically. A person from the mainstream of society could have this problem, be looking here for credible advice, and say, "There are a awful lot of answers that are not for a mainstream parent." You've got some mothers who's house sounds like it would be a sexual fantasyland for a boy of around that age. Their sons should almost be more familiar with their mother's and sister's clitoris and it's neighbors than the females are, since he can see it as close as he wants and at any angle he wants. The girls' only advantage in familiarity is that their clitoris and it's neighbors is wired into their nervous system. If I was a boy, I would really like to be invited to a sleepover at that mother's house. I imagine I would really enjoy it, and learn a lot, but, would be good for me? Probably not. After that, what can you step up to that is short of babymaking. At 13, I'd have another 10-15 years to go before I'd have the earning ability to support being a father. I'd rather have a 13 year old boy getting a big thrill by seeing cameltoe, or looking up a girl's skirts, or looking down her blouse when she has smaller breasts and a loose fitting bra and "seeing everything". A 13 year old boy still has plenty of time to learn all he needs to know about female anatomy to be a world class lover, before he is old enough to be an excellent husband and father. Then we have some mothers who think they should be handling their son's penis long after he has gone through puberty. Some mothers of uncircumcised guys think that they should still be cleaning under the foreskin at least through the boy's middle teens. I think at about age 8 is when you should be hearing, "Mom, I think I've got this down pretty well now." or, "Do you think you can handle this on your own from here on out, son?" More common are the ones who think they should be masturbating their sons. Some, just whenever they think he needs it, but others remind me of the theory I heard on "Something About Mary" about doing it before a date, to make the guy more mellow. Another mother's theory is that pumping a load out of him before a date will keep him from having sex, and getting in trouble with those conniving girls during the date. Those mothers don't know their son's body very well. A healthy guy will "have another round in the chamber" about half an after pumping out the first load. To eliminate the babymaking threat, she'd have to start about lunch time, "milk" him 4 or 5 times, until she has "milked him dry". She better use a good lubricant because otherwise, he'd be too sore (or exhausted) to go on a date. And we have a bunch of women accursing others of seeing a nice big (and fresh too!, since we are talking about a 13 year old boy,) penis and being unable to stop desiring and writing about it. (The exchanges sound a little like, "Is so! Is not!!") And there is also a couple of women (I think.) who seem to be submitting an essay to demonstrate their porn writing skills. Finally, one that must be from a teenager; "Get him a girlfriend" to exhaust his erection capabilities. I like to think no parent would think that was a good idea for his or her 13 year old son, or the girlfriend of similar age.
Such an educated response. I have no idea what you said.
Another option would be for mom to use a small battery-powered vibrator to begin running over his boxer briefs. After he attains full-tenting (penis fully erect), the experienced mom focuses the vibrating end on the part of the boxers directly over the head of his penis. Although the boy will squirm, he won’t be able to move away from the vibrating. The motion of the vibrator around and under the encased head will bring most boys quickly to ejaculation, which she’ll be able to see as his sperms through the fabric or otherwise floods the material with his sperm. He’ll quickly fall deep asleep, allowing mom to do whatever clean-up she cares to perform.
We're raising our two boys 12 & 14 in a nude home. Erections are normal, healthy and accepted without comment. Occasionally, they get teased a little. It's obvious, they're developing nicely and normally.
he is not going to try and hide it. he is proud its finally working. get over it
The Creator of life and of genitals obviously will gives us the best direction concerning such matters. (Colossians 3:5) 5 Deaden, therefore, your body members that are on the earth as respects sexual immorality, uncleanness, uncontrolled sexual passion, hurtful desire, and greediness, which is idolatry. (Leviticus 18:6, 7) 6 “‘No man among you should approach any of his close relatives to have sexual relations (Literally: “to uncover nakedness”). I am Jehovah. 7 You must not have sexual relations with your father, and you must not have sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother, and you must not have sexual relations with her. Genitals were created for sexual use only between married individuals. So, young boys and girls should be taught to cover their nakedness and suppress sexual arousal until they're ready to get married. TV shows and Movies often portray a warped view of sexuality, so you should also be careful what the family watches. Due to the warped view of the world (as seen in other messages here), so many young people get unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and lack self-control to be loyal to their later spouse. However, if they learn self-control at an early age, they can resist sexual temptation before marriage, and have the strength to be loyal to their spouse after marriage. Please look at jw.org for more sound advise from God's word the Bible.
Holy sh*t. You write like a pervert with a 3rd grade education.
90% of the time huh? Have some research to back that up or did you pull that out of your ass?
I have read
OK, I've read through 100+ posts on this query and decided to offer mine. I'm 65 and come from a straight middleclass family. No, we're not perverts. As a matter of fact, when my brothers and sisters were in their 20s the subject of sex and human sexuality was a normal subject of discussion especially when we returned home during college. When the children were in their teens our folks split up. The boys went with our father, the girls with our mother. One summer in our high school years my brother and I were spending two weeks with our mother and found ourselves continually embarrassed by getting erections as we swam in the lake. The cause of our erections was two-fold. Mother had a friend who was, well, built. Our mother was also a double-d woman. She and her friend would sit around the lake with bathing suits that hid nothing. You could see all. John and I would climb out of the lake and mother's friend, Hilda, would ask us over, offer us a drink (Mother and her were big drinkers) and then comment on our erections. Finally, John and I decided to see what would happen if we came out of the lake without bathing suits. Hilda took one look and, I'll never forget it, said, "My God, Martha, your sons are huge." I'm now 65 and can only say this: Every young man should have a mother who has a friend like Hilda. John and I learned more about sex, real sex, good sex, mature sex, and fun sex during those two weeks that summer then any college hook-up could possibly teach us. We've married well and our wives are completely satisfied. Though that summer with Hilda and Mom's coaching is long past the lessons are never forgotten.
I would tell him that it's really weird.
