LOL, yes I'm a horndog Stefan, but we try to keep that aspect of our life away from our kids.

I think your kid doesn't really know what sex is and he thinks that its something else.
I remember when I was a kid I'd say something but really meant something else. Anyway keep an eye on him just in case.

That's what we think and are hoping.

Ah yes.. I can remember that phase, keep in mind that t.v wasn't as trash back then but Sex to me meant holding someone's hand.

We're pretty careful with what we watch when they're around. Maybe we'll have to start watching Sex in the City when they're asleep though.

You should be glad. He said a girl, right? He could have said a boy down the street, ya know?

Not being a homophobe, it wouldn't have mattered if it was a boy or a girl.

Kids hear stuff and repeat it but don't really understand the implications. My 8 year old however is about to turn 9 soon and is emitting signs of puberty already. He compares tits lol. We were watching some movie the other day and he says "that ladies boobs look like my art teachers" I was like...er...huh?? So I know he is taking notice. He also told me "he likes the scene in the Adam Sandler movie when the two girls kiss" Little perv lol.

Again, that's what we're thinking. If he inquired or made statements about something, that would be one thing and we would expect that he's gonna notice the difference between boys and girls. That's only normal imo. This was apparently just a matter of fact statement. That's what was so worrisome.

Ron, I can remember my son mentioning sex at a very young age (was 4 years old with a 6 year old neighbour & asked me to leave the room cuz he had to have 'sex' with her = kiss with her) & since he's very open with me he told me what the conversations were with these kids. Seems that the younger kids hear things the older ones talk about & then repeat it to the younger ones & they in turn repeat to others yet younger than them.
Needless to say, I would have rather had 50 kids playing in my backyard where I could have heard what they are talking about than him going to other friends' houses unless I knew the parents very very well & could have trusted that they were keeping an eye & ear open.
He's 11 now so I try not to shield him, but it's still crazy when it's YOUR kids that are growing up & their bodies & minds start reacting to the real world..

Thanks for making me realize that this is "Kind of" normal Trixxxia.
We just literally started letting the kids go play at other kids houses on the street 'cause the wife was too uptight about it. Before that they'd always come over here to play. I convinced her that they're growing up and as long as they stay on the street and watch for cars, they should be okay.
The problem with this girl is we KNOW that the parents don't keep too close an eye on them. When our kids are on the front street, we sit where we can see them. We don't stare at them, but we do keep an eye on them.
Kind of a catch 22.
