You can always ask here..for privacy. But she is your mom. You probably feel weird asking her those kind of questions but she's probably the only person that can give you the best answers. And as a mom she's probably waiting for you to ask her these questions so she can feel more like a mom..to help you.

never feel ashamed to ask your mom anything. She will not laugh or make you feel uncomfortable. Don't ask too many personal questions on this site, because no one will love and care for you the way your mom does. You are looking for honest answers and opinions. Some people on this site are not serious when it comes to answering certain topics. Also I am sure you have an Uncle or Grandfather that you could also confide in. Somethings can only be answered by a Man. Always talk to your mom first. She can and will always be one of your best friends.

oh yeah! i already told my husband (i'm 19 he's 23) that i will give our son "the talk" (puberty, sex, std's everything) when he turns 10. i say ask your mom, she might be a little nervous, but tell her that you trust her more than anyone and just go ahead and ask, just be gentle ok? she's probaly just as scared of the questions as you are lol. be open, honest and proper. asking here on yahoo! can help some, but there are so many people who don't know what's going on for real, who will lie and exhagerate, they'll make you feel/look stupid and just give wrong answers or bad advice. going to your mom is the safest bet to me, she will tell you the truth, help you research what she dosn't know for sure online or at the library. this way you not only get proper info, but it shows your mom you love, trust and depend on her. that you are comfortable coming to her, even though this might embarass you both a little. remind of that little fact, and remind her how important it is for you to know about your own body and what is going on with it so you can be comfortable w/ yourself and not make bad decisions (through that in there too, she'll think you're a genius and perfect son!!)

Single moms are so busy trying to be both parents that we sometimes overlook a time when you need some information. Talk to your Mom, ask her what you want to know. My son and I have talked about everything, he even told me when he lost his virginity and how sad he was that he didn't wait for someone he loved to do it.
Yes, sometimes these conversations are weird and embarrassing, but in the end it will bring the two of you closer and allow you to trust her to guide you through the difficult times in your life. That is what all parents would give anything to give to their kids.

am very sure that ur mom will be happy to answer any guy questions for u.as parents,it is our sole responsibilities to be there for our children no matter what.so,just pick a day that ur mom don't have much to do and just tell her that u would like for her to talk to u about grown-ups/puberty stuff.but if u for some reason don't feel comfortable talking to ur mom about guy stuff,seek out another family member(man)that u trust and see if they talk to u about guy stuff.the Internet can be a good resource but sometimes u will be given the wrong stuff.good luck

just mention to your mom you have some guy issues you want answered, and is there someone you can talk too. An uncle, a pastor, a school counselor, a coach, all these are great choices. Or you mom may want to answer some for you. If its hard to do face to face, try writing it in a letter to her. I know as a mom i would want to help my son with any problem he has, even if it makes me uncomfortable

I think it would be very uncomfortable to ask your mom, but I am pretty sure that she will appreciate if you at least talk to her about some stuff. Remember that she is your mom and will always be there for you and give you better advice, she is always looking out for you and your well being! You think a total stranger will look out for you as your mom will?

Unless your mom is a total spaz, it's cool to talk to her about that sort of stuff. If she's unsure or freaked out, she'll guide you to a male family member or friend to help you out with your questions.
Let her know it's just as embarrassing for you to ask as it is for her to tell you.
Good luck!

I am a married mom, but I definitely expect my son to ask me any questions he may have about "puberty stuff." I know it's an embarrassing topic for young men (and young women) but we mothers are prepared to answer your questions...and it doesn't embarrass us at all :)
I would recommend asking your mother as long as you feel comfortable :)

Yes always ask your mom first. She loves and cares about and in most situations with single parents your mom is all you have.
