"I always question whether I am telling them too much"
I was accused of the same thing when I first came to this board. But as far as I'm concerned, you can't tell them too much. What you don't tell them, somebody else will. And what they are told might not be right.
Sounds like you do a great job with your kids.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

I didn't know much about it until I went to a parent help page for those of us dealing with assaults on our children.  I found an article there and was very upset.  Kind of felt like I got duped.  I have always considered myself well educated and that one got right by me.  I am also very big on doing loads of research on topics.  I am a research chemist by training so it is just in my nature to always search and ask questions.  As for my son, we have had the talks about all of that....to HIS embarassment.  I am very open.  I don't have any problem calling it what it is.  He was a bit shy about it.  Yeah, he does think those girls are pretty skanky!!!  I had to laugh.  He asked me if they were hookers.  I just told him how it was and he said he couldn't respect a girl who would do such a thing.  I had to stop him right there.  I did tell him that when two people love each other, trust each other and agree to those types of things together....it is fine.  We talked about respecting yourself and some reasons people do those kind of things (exploit themselves on the internet).  I teach my children tolerance because everyone has a story and sometimes what they do for money  and not even for money seemed to be justified in their mind at the time no matter how wrong it was.  That is why we have that fabulous feeling known as regret (rue, guilt, shame, whatever you want to call it)  I also teach them that every household has it's dysfunctions no matter how it looks from the outside and children respond to them in different ways.  Some act out, some turn inward, some hit the books and over achieve, etc.  He has begun to privately analyze people's behavior somewhat and has a better sense of tolerance than many adults I know.  I started talking to my kids about sex when they were about ten or eleven.  There was a series in the news, at the time, about some kids (ten and eleven) who were caught in the bathroom at school having sex.  I thought I'd better tell them the truth before it got all distorted for them.  I have told them many times that when two people truly trust, respect, and care about each other what they consent to in the privacy of their own bedroom is okay as long as it is okay with each other.  I always question whether I am telling them too much but they seem to be very responsible about it.  I have my fingers crossed.  I am only a parent.  Flawed in every way!!
