My mom was also very open with me about her experiences and never judgemental. Thanks to her support (and education) I think I have a healthier relationship with sex (and healthier sex habits) than most of my friends. Thanks for sharing! Great post.

Your experiences are remarkably similar to mine. Must be the Otown connection. It's different for guys training virgin girls, because that's inline with masculine roleplaying and all that in the bedroom, whereas a chick training the virgin dude reserves the polarity, which isn't very sexy. I also agree with you about proper sex ed.<br/><br/>Why did reading about you having sex give me woody? Is it because I'm a sick little man? Great post.

She knew we were gonna do it, so she wanted to be realistic with us. Trust me, though, she has her "OK, that's enough" moments too!<br/><br/>@t: Thanks! Kudos to you for being a great mom. <br/><br/>@dadshouse: That how it was with my mom. She certainly wasn't giving us the keys to a hotel room or letting any boys sleep over, nor did she want to know how or when it was being done. It was more about being sane, safe and healthy. <br/><br/>@honey: Oh, we were weirded out alright! My sister did not partake so much in the frank conversation my mom offered - I think it freaked her out. She stuck to basics, like doctor's appts. I've pretty much always been this open, much to the chagrin of my family members at times! (Hi Mom!) @singlemomseeking: Yep, my Catholic mom was pretty realistic.

I hope you'll come back and try again!<br/><br/>@sherry: I don't even want to think about how many stupid things I heard about sex from my peers... Kudos to you for being willing to get over the whole awkward thing. That's what being a good parent is all about!<br/><br/>@marta: LOL! Oh, that's funny. <br/><br/>Mom, I hope you see how much people are praising you for your honesty with us. Though I think this one might have finally sent you away from reading my blog! @oneorganizelife: Dammit! I hope you’ll come back and try again!

Literally--that's all they'd say. Then I went to college and when I said I was seeing someone, they said, "go on the pill." Literally--that's all they said.<br/><br/>But if they'd said more, I think I would have been weirded out!

Your mom sounds great. That's the kind of dad I'm trying to be to my kids. I'm not encouraging them to have sex, but when they are emotionally ready, I'll be there for them. We have open communication already. Bravo for you for waiting until the moment was right.<br/><br/>And I agree - sex with a non-virgin is way better. Great post, very articulate.

I bet mom loved this one ;)<br/><br/>As a matter of fact, she helped me lose my v-card too. It was my 18th birthday, and she asked my high school BF if he could "keep me busy" while the family prepared for my surprise birthday party... LOL! LOL! I bet mom loved this one ;)

I hope, as a mom, that I'm able to instill that kind of trust in my son. Even if it's not me he wants to come to, I hope it's his father. God knows the crap kids learn from their peers (as I did). Nice post, thanks for sharing!<br/><br/>Sherry Amen, sister! I hope, as a mom, that I’m able to instill that kind of trust in my son. Even if it’s not me he wants to come to, I hope it’s his father.
