then let her talk to you about boys now that she sees them. without cynicism, sarcasm, or eye rolling "ewwwws." you and your wife can share dating stories good and bad. start those conversations and keep them on going. it won't feel weird at 16 if you can make it not feel weird now at 11. "just talkin' to dad about my boyfriend" is a powerful thing to come from her face. you don't have to be big scary dad, just a close one. |

At age 14, I was raped by my "boyfriend" on Friday and had to sit next to his ass on the bus on Monday. After that, I got in my first long term monogamous relationship and I went to my parents and informed then I wanted to get on birth control because i was having sex with the boyfriend who later became fiance #1 (you know how I do lol). I was on birth control from age 14 until I met my husband at age 21 and I never had a pregnancy scare in my life. A few years ago my father admitted to me as much as he HATED hearing me admit I was having sex, he was so proud I was responsible enough to ask for birth control. And I simply told him "because I knew if I came home pregnant, you would kill me." See? It works. Go with it, my friend. |

First of all, I fucking love you.
Secondly, I think there's some validity to the argument that 'dear old dad making threats; might result in intimacy issues with men later in life. I definitely think the right choice is to talk about birth control...and of course a talk about sex should precede it. Toni, lemme ask you something. Did seeing your sis have issues help you be responsible, or did your dad making threats help? Maybe both? Most importantly, do you have any issues, (intimacy wise) with your man that might stem from your dad's parenting? I appreciate your honesty and candor, btw. You're the best-est-est-ist. |
