SERIOUS QUESTION FOR THE GUYS.?

Ok i think this is serious.... Sooo Please don't give me stupid answers.

I', kind of embaress to ask but i, as a single parent need to know...:

I have a 12yr old son. And i think he's getting to the age where he's curoius about certain antomies, guys and girls.

I know he's not a perv or whatever but while cleaning his room the other day. I found an adult magizine... In way it's funny BUT it's not... My son is growing up and wants to know certian things.

Is this normal for boys to da at his age?? How do i let him know he can come to me with some questions. If he's not too embarressed to ask...

Thank you...

Update:

I'm sorry i Don't know this ended up in the Lesibian, gay, bi section...

It's supossed to have gone in to Family..

    Completely right on schedule!

    I had this rule with the boys I was raising. I would bring it up and let them know they could ask me anything. Of course, when that day arrives, he will ask, and only be able to hear a limited amount. When squirming takes over, cut it short. If you don't that might risk his hearing it at all.

    There are some good videos that will help. I would say anything over 10 minutes is way too long, not because of damage, attention span dies if you make this pedantic.

    Good luck

    It's perfectly normal to want to look at those kinds of things at that age. Some parents don't want their children looking at that stuff until they're older but his body is certainly telling him that there's nothing wrong with it.

    Your lucky it wasn't a copy of GT (Gay Times) . . . that was the magazine my mom found under my bed at the age of 14. I think if it was a 'straight' magazine she would have understood.

    In all fairness he is proberly just looking at the pictures at that age and not . . . doing aything about it

    It's normal at that age,the age of curiosity & growing. Tell him

    this is normal but, you feel kind of uncomfortable with it in

    your house. Let him know that you will be glad to talk to him

    and answer any questions he may have.
