We try to be age appropriate, but if our kids ask about sex or some such, we try to be as honest as possible so as not to make them ashamed or afraid to ask such questions.
I pretty much traumatized my daughter with the sex-talk. It was the old, "Sex is the most fun thing you'll ever do, but don't be an idiot about it 'cause I'll kick you in the stomach if you get knocked up," pep-talk that more-or-less digressed into me telling her that guys will do and say anything to get into her pants because they
have to get the poison out.
The lesson here being to never, never, NEVER have a frank and honest discussion, one that was never asked for in the first place, after too many Mojitos.

When puberty hits and kids develop their own sexuality there's a need to distance themselves from their parents, and they do. What seemed to be normal and cool before - like talking about everything - suddenly becomes awkward and painful. It's nothing personal,
no matter what kind of great and attentive dad you were, it's just part of becoming a grown up individual.
No, you're right, and I actually fear this and am trying very hard to prevent it because of seen a few father/son relationships that didn't go that way - I want to be that guy, but it's really more up them than me, eh?

You realize your having kids is almost a scarey as me having kids right? I'm nearly certain you did no permanent damage. Don't get knocked up and all guys are horndogs is pretty basic so don't worry. Hormones are a powerful thing so never trust completely. Obstruct however you can and encourage contraceptives in case because you wont want to believe they are as bad as you but guess again. I'll always remember the mother who said she trusted her girl while I stood there with my shirt inside out in my teens. You and Scots are in for a scarey time.
