I have started to browse this site since my two teens discovered it. I just wanted to know if anyone else is as shocked as i am about some of the sexual content some of these kids viewing/posting?

Glad to see that someone is checking up on it. This is more than just curious teens here..... some are trying to let this site be the main source for sex ed.

I am not offended or shocked at all. If they are asking the question or reading the answer they obviously want to know. Yes there is such a thing as too much information but no kid believes that until they find out something they didn't want to know. Then they tend to get more selective about the things they look at or read. Most kids do not feel comfortable asking their parents explicit sexual questions and most parents do not feel comfortable answering those questions. What do you do when your son asks you about female orgasms and how to bring a young lady to one? Probably not going to come up in general conversation, but at some point at least one of your boys will want to know. Would you rather they hear it from their friends, who know about as much as they do about it, or would you rather come to a site such as this where every question has at least one correct answer? And there are no pics lol I know you're concerned for them, but as teens you kind of have to let them have that extra bit of freedom where they can explore on their own. Also, every Yahoo answers account keeps track of questions you've answered and asked, which could be useful for you. I would advise you let your boys know you will be checking the accounts though. Nothing kills a relationship like one finding out the other has been spying on them. Good Luck

i would have no problem with any of my teens being on this site. anything of a sexual nature that is on here wouldn't surprise my kids: i have already had a full discussion with them.
i feel bad that so many kids don't have parents that are open and honest with them about sex. ignorance is not bliss where sexual education is involved. maybe someones dream will come true and my 14 year old will be able to clear up an unfortunate child's misconception about "how do i not get pregnant" and all of the other uninformed questions... it's a sad world when people expect kids to educate kids and then they wonder how pregnancy & STD's happen. SEX EDUCATION should be completely taught at home from loving, supportive parents!

It just shows how ignorant parents and our country is in regards to teen sexuality. We are doing a poor job insuring they have the facts. People are sexual and teens are people. People have sex period age has nothing to do with it.

My daughter is pre-teeen.when I read teenagers question I promise myself to be friendly with my daughter when she is a teenager and I will do my best to explain everything(in a correct way)to her.We may visit a gynecologist in order to make her sure about all the things.
I do not want my daughter to be pregnant in 15,17,18, or before marriage.I should protect her from STDs in any way that I can.

I'm a mom, and am not shocked, just so very sad and disappointed. Particularly with the sick minds of some of the young guys who post really gross or twisted stuff. I'm sad to see girls having sex so young - not being confident in themselves to deal with reality.

Yes! I feel they have the right to ask things they'd be embarrassed to ask their parents, but some of the things they talk about are way too explicit and x rated. I don't want my children/teens seeing porn, but if they read some of the things here, it's like reading porn.

Some questions are gross, but if you don't want to read the PreTeen and Teen questions (which are mostly about sex anyway) don't come here. There are a lot of other sections to go to
