explaining gay sex

My nearly 10 year old ds has just asked me how 2 men can have sex bloody Coronation street I explained the sex thing to him a couple of years ago, I subtly cowardly changed the subject, but I could see he was pondering the 'mechanics' he then seemed to have a 'light bulb' moment and hit the nail on the head, I confirmed he was correct, he didn't seem particularly perturbed and has gone to bed to finish Gangsta Granny!

Has anyone else had this question at such a young age? I feel like the very basics of sex is enough at 10 but it seems like everything is happening younger nowadays Hmm

A lot of gay men do not have anal sex, just fyi.

Many gay men do not choose to have anal sex but engage in mutual masturbation and Greek style sex (basically rubbing against each other without penetration.)

Nigellasdealer, you seem to be confusing homosexuality with paedophilia. Hmm

i knew someone would start that.
ok fine, you send your unsupervised 8 year old boy into a public men's loo and then be all 'right on' about it.

Nigella do you really think that men are having sex in all public toilets? Do you think women are in female toilets as well?

Nigella wtf?! Homosexual=pedophile?! You said that like your hand was forced! Fgs would you trust a girl in the girls toilets alone? A boy in the girls toilets?

I wouldn't send him alone to male or female loos (or indeed anywhere I can't see him), nor would I tell him that he was at risk of buggery!

I'm not "starting that". As the patent of a gay son, I find your post fucking offensive. AFWIW, my children went swimming on their own from the age of 8, and into public toilets.

My DS has been going into public toilets on his own from about 7. I'm not being "right on"' about it - it's just what happens.

Just re-read my first post and there should have been a "having sex" in the last sentence.

If you're scared of peadophiles maybe that's a different issue nigella but we were talking about gay men.

Recently I took dds friends swimming...one was a boy and the mother told me not to let him in boys loo on his own..because of
strange men...I was a little taken a back..particularly as he is quite a feminine little boy..and I can see how she can't see the writing on the wall..but there you go, I am sure he will settle down with a lovely young man

Not realistic at all! By all means keep your kid within sight for safety, but jeezo!

My ds would be horrified if he had to come in the ladies now.

What kind of places are you going that men having intercourse in the middle of the loo is so common!

Oh I reread and see you've told him! I would have done just what you did.
