Here\u2019s how a gay<\/a> dad explained \u2018the sex<\/a> talk\u2019 to his young sons<\/b><\/p>\n

‘When a mummy and a daddy love each other very much, they have a special hug… daddy’s sperm meets mummy’s egg, and nine months later, a baby is born.’<\/p>\n

Even for straight parents, having ‘the talk’ can be awkward.<\/p>\n

For many, explaining the biology of conception serves as a substitute for talking about the issues of intimacy and sex<\/a> – leaving kids to discover the facts for themselves through their teenage<\/a> years.<\/p>\n

But as gay<\/a> dad Rob Watson explains, sex<\/a> between consenting adults, whatever their orientation, is rarely about the procreation of children.<\/p>\n

To help parents give their kids a well-rounded view of sex<\/a> and relationships, he’s created a video<\/a> explaining how he gave ‘the talk’ to his 12-year-old sons.<\/p>\n

‘Sex talks always come from the ‘where do babies come from’ place,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘I was finding as a gay<\/a> dad that it was incredibly heteronormative.’<\/p>\n

He added: ‘It was going to be a talk that I was going to have with my kids that I didn’t actively have a part in, because guess what, I’ve never had s-e-x for the purposes of making a baby.’<\/p>\n

One person he hopes to help is his straight cousin, who wanted to ensure her children heard about different kinds of relationships, sexualities, and genders while they were still young.<\/p>\n

She wrote a letter asking Rob how he planned address the issue of sex<\/a> and relationships with his children, in the hope he could give some pointers.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t want her to feel boxed in by some heteronormative standards,’ she said.<\/p>\n

‘I want her, whoever she’s going to be, I want her to not look back on that talk like I’m forcing her into something.’<\/p>\n

Rob explained how the issue of sex<\/a> came up on its own on a car journey with his two boys<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After one of his sons asked whether ‘the F word means sex<\/a>’, Rob decided it was time to give them a few facts about adult relationships.<\/p>\n

He said: ‘When you are an adult and you want to be very intimate with somebody that you’re very close with, and you feel like you can be completely naked<\/a> with, and you want to share that of yourself, these are the things adults do – and I described the different sex<\/a> acts.’<\/p>\n

‘And if you happen to be a man<\/a> and a woman<\/a> when you do this, that is how the sperm goes from the man<\/a> into the woman<\/a>, and could potentially fertilize an egg and create a baby. But that is what sex<\/a> and intimacy is about.’<\/p>\n
