DH is 8 and has mentioned a few things being talked about in the playground recently about 'sexing'. It all followed the yr 5's having their sex ed lessons (which according to other parents is all a bit explicit compared to my day!!! )

Anyway this carried on for a bit and i just sort of went along with it. but today he's come home and told me that a couple of the girls want to 'have sex' with one of the boys - and they clearly know exactly what they are talking about.

I'm a bit worried that the boys might be putting the girls in a difficult position by talking about them like this. But dont know whether i should just ignore it.

And is all this talk about it quite normal at 8??? Its obviously coming from the older kids ad the younger ones are picking up on it

A few years ago my sister told me she first learned "the facts of life" from me, even though she was older. But she claims I gave her false information (wrong orifice - ).

Her dh pipes up at that point. "Our wedding night was a bit of an embarrassment!"

This was a very interesting thread about the same topic about the time of the Davina programme. Very thought provoking.
