How to tell/ask?

---

I feel I need to get more in touch with my parents about masturbation.How can I go about telling them I masturbate/ask them?-HA

Most parents would be rather embarrassed. We don't know what yours are like, and they may be very easy-going, but in general I would say that unless there's a good reason I wouldn't mention it.

And, I made up my mind...i wont tell

And, How can I go about getting condoms? I dont want my parents to know.

And, theres no planned parenthood near us =(

It depends where you live, where condoms are stocked. Where I am you can get them in supermarkets. In some places in the US you can get them at Walmart, but in some places you have to go to a pharmacy. In at least most places there is no age requirement for buying them.Oh, and welcome to AfraidToAsk!

they practically grow on trees here. The desision was made that easy availability is the best policy. They are available free from school nurses and often in the guidence and student councel offices. The regional health unit.They are also for sale in any store with a pharmacy or even a heath and beauty supply department.

maybe you can tell your parents that you need to talk about something important..you can get condoms on health centers

this is goign to sound far out but here goes. If you want to find out what your father thinks about masturbation and hopefully lead him to discuss condoms, sex and related topics, why not set it up so he catches you masturbating. He'll either over-react and tell you it's sinful or whatever or he'll be kewl and you can discuss it all with him. Sure it'll be embarassing as heck having him walk in on you naked and jerking but you will find out really fast where his head is...

no offence, but if you arent joking, thats the stupid idea ive ever heard.

to the poster of this thread- i dont think you should ask your dad about sex. it can make things a little tense and awkward, and when you have resources such as this forum it really isnt necessary. but if you must, just say 'dad, i wnana talk to you about sex' no secret to it really.

Heres a good plan.DONT!Just dont. If they feel the need to discuss masturbation and sex and pornography then they will bring it up. Just go about your regular routine and wait for them to bring it up so you can avoid a possibly embarassing moment for you and your parents!

I dont agree with some of the posts that advise you to say nothing to be honest. I dont think there's anything wrong with being honest with your parents as far as sexual development is concerned. I've talked about sex with my son in the past and I know I'd be happy to discuss anything more he wanted to know. Also I'd prefer if he heard it from me rather than some other source which, for all I know, may be unreliable. Yeah, it'd be a bit embarassing all round, but it would also display a level of trust and responsibilty your parents would likely be relieved to see in you.

Hey, bud, that may sound like a good idea now, but well, why don't you go masturbate and then come back and tell us if you still think that sounds At All smart. As a rule, you should assume that any sort of sexual plan/idea you come up with is probably a bad idea, unless you've just cleared the pipes. Once the pipes are clear, I've found, your mind clears up a little too.Those ideas are fine in Fantasy, but in Reality they tend to kill the mood and cause problems.

Well starfish it depends upon the parents. You are probably a very good parent, but that doesn't mean everyone has good parents.

lol...i tried to get condoms from a grociery store when i was fifteen....(granted it wasnt for sex it was to decorate someones car as a prank) and the cashier try to say i need an ID and i ended up having to get her manager which told her i didnt need to be any age to buy condoms. it was quite an experience trying to buy condoms for the first time...lol!

Point taken; I suppose some parents might go off the rails. I dont really understand people like that though. If they werent sexually active themselves they wouldnt be parents in the first place!

Thats a good point starfish. But some people have those REALLY REALLY hardcore religious parents who think that erections are evil and sex is a one-way ticket to hell.

then how they hell were you made?
