Sorry if I was not clear. I know it’s never too early to start the talks. I only meant he hasn’t asked anyone out yet or had a girlfriend since a 2 week period in 7th grade. My S has been around for most of the talks I had with my D, although they were usually focused on D, and we are pretty open about birth control, STDs, alternative choices, etc. It was just that I felt I had more to offer my D, more heartfelt guidance, and was looking for what similar discussions with S ought to focus on. Once I told him he had to be careful not to treat girls as objects, (brought about by a JLo poster on the wall) and he looked at me and said “Mom, think of who you are talking to. Look at my sister and you!” I need more data about that side of things, and how as a mother to be involved as I cannot guarantee what H will say.
