Anyway, it has been ages since I've read through this, but if memory serves, it could help, yes. It's mostly people recounting stories of their own "talk" about it. Ultimately though, you'd have to read it yourself and garner your own understanding of it's applicability to your own situation. |
I told my kids that their genitals were there for pleasure and exploration when they were alone when they were... not sure... definitely already verbal, on the one hand, but before school, on the other hand.
Sex involves other people who are unpredictable and whose behavior we cannot control. That is why it is such a complicated issue. Masturbation, on the other hand, is self contained.
Thank you, I will recommend the discussion to that forum member who, I believe, might benefit from it.
