Answers:
wait til eh a little bit older.... my little bro <11> is asking about masturbation, periods etc i just say talk to mum.... get of my back then lol .... on the other hand he seems comfortable asking you about it ( he may already know whta it is but wants reinforcment for his dad) so obviously he is ready fro an answer so i wud tell him .... this sounds lame buyt sit him down and go thru the whole "sex" "masturbation" talk .... hope can help :)Health Question & Answer

I can see how it's difficult.. A 10yr old asking doesn't mean he's going to start right away, but it's likely that at some point he will..

The real predicament is in the morality of it.. If you're OK with knowing your children will join the majority of the human race in acting sexually with themselves, then simply be open and honest about what it is, why people do it (sensation, stress relief and to reduce the chances of prostate cancer :P)..

We're all born with genitals, and it's never too young to understand what they are and what they can and someday will do.. The important thing is to explain the reasons for responsibility in their functions..

You can save the talk about pornography for later, or include it if you wish...... Just make sure he understands that it's OK to admire, but still respect women who don't choose to be admired for their bodies..Health Question & Answer

You should be 100% honest with your son, and tell him yourself, so then he feels that he can talk to you about anything back..

It is so important to have an open and honest relationship.. In fact I think you should even tell your son that you are nervous and embarrassed to talk to him about it, but you want him to know he can speak to you anytime with out fear, so that is why you are giving him the honor back..Health Question & Answer

I think you should tell him.. I don't think it's a good idea to ask your older son to tell him because it's important for parents to talk to their kids about these things..

My daughter is 8 and I explained it to her when she asked.. You can keep it simple: you don't have to tell him all the different methods and positions or whatever! Remember to tell him that girls do it too......Health Question & Answer

Well chances are that it may be a little akward for your son to talk to you about masturbation.. I think having your 16 year old talk to him man to man about it would be good for him.. He knows whats its like more than a woman! But if you are a father then yes i would tell him yourself.. I think that he may be a little too young to know, but it depends on his maturaty level.. If you feel its not the best time to tell him then just try to ignore it until he forget.. If hes persistant then yeah......sure......tell him......lolHealth Question & Answer

no you shouldn't get your older son to tell him.. it is your job! just because you aren't good at it doesn't mean you don't have to do it.. your 10 year old is way too young to be masturbating and you need to talk to him.. if you get your 16 yr old to do it instead of you because you are too scared then you are showing them both that it is ok to hand off your resonsibilities to someone else..Health Question & Answer

HEY!

i acctually think that getting your 16 year old son to tell him, iam also 16, and i wouldn't mind telling him, what you dont want to do is for you to tell him if your not good at talking about that kind of stuff, it just might come out better from ur 16 yr old son thats all..

and dont put this hole situation off either, coz considering he is ten he is at the stage when kids are getting curious and start to do these kinds of things, also he might get the wrong idea if someone from school tells him..

good luck..

Time for the birds-n-bees lesson..

Hello mother, as a son I have to inform you i am addicted to masturbation..because my parents never loved me and cared about me, well................my mother did,she is the most important thing in my life......she cares about me but my father doesn't like AT ALL............
I am addicted because my father thinks I should never know what is sex..
I am 14 year old..I have been addicted since I was 12..
He still does not know that I know what sex is..............
Tell him, but care about him and love him so EVEN IF HE HAS ANY PROBLEM TELLS YOU !!!! NOT HIS FRIENDS....
as your 14 year old son.......... thank youHealth Question & Answer

In my opinion that is a littile young to know, but I think your 16 year old should know.. Tell your youngest to wait until he's 12 or 13 to know.. But if your youngest is getting too interested in the subject, see if your school has a sex ed program, start one or find one to explain it to him.. I do not recomend telling him at this age.. Good luck with your decision..Health Question & Answer

Oh, this is tough,
You can try as others above said let like his brother or friend talks to him about it, without letting him know that its arranged!.... if knw listen to a guy! its alright for him, but from a parent and he is 10 years only, i do not prefer it...... you can talk around the subject still.. i believe he is a bit young......NOT YET!Health Question & Answer

Yes.. But tell only as much as he asks.. Do not go overboard, he may freak out when he starts it himself.. Lots of damage is done to young boys with misinformation.. Some have been known to commit suicide from the info given them and they then start masturbating..Health Question & Answer

Well, I would just be honest.. I would tell my son at 10.. But if you don't want to tell him, just say....
