To stillparenting:
Eight? Your wrong here in my opinion: Asking a 25 year old about it is NOT good enough! Of course she's going to side with you. Even asking a 13 year-old about my post will probably get the wrong effect especially if you do so with any hint of disapproval. It's not this thread I'm asking to show them, but rather present the sex topic in a way that is comfortable to both parent and child. Yes, I realize they'll be a little uncomfortable with it but I wouldn't force them or have it turn into a fight. And I remain a big supporter of the "bribe". I don't recall if I ever used the "bribe" but I would not think twice to use it if I felt I was not making progress with them and I do not feel anything is wrong with it at all, and I don't think any teenager would be disturbed with it at all either. If I could go back, I would without doubt have BOTH of these conversations with my little girl afterwhich I'd take her shopping.
To Bridge02:
You're wrong too I think: girls go for the lyrics in songs in general. I'm not suggesting "forcing" them to talk about sex and I wouldn't let it turn into a fight. The "girl cycle" thing I implied telling that to BOTH son AND daughter otherwise a young boy will think he can get her pregnant ANY time he has sex with her rather then just 4 or 5 days out of the month. I also believe there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with dad being a little uncomfortable about talking to his daughter about sex especially if it's done in a loving, caring, and somewhat comical way and again stopping the converstation at the appropriate time, and then going shopping. I find it insulting that you would suggest I'm talking to ANY OTHER GIRL!! but my daughter about this. NO, I do not think dad should find a female friend to talk to his daughter about sex. What a cop-out old man!
I really think you ladies are harming father-daughter relationships by suggesting he relegate to some other woman, talking to her about sex.
I could tell you guys a wonderful story about dad, daughter and tampons.
