Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Emma Hart,
But seriously. Websites.
You sage. Of course, it's modern kids we're talking about after all. Send them an email...um no, too old school. Send them a tweet, with the links.

Tell me this is about Wal's relationship with Cheeky Hobson?
Gawd I forgot about that altogether. I though it was about the "bitches box", and Cecil the ram.

Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Paul Williams,
I'd think a united front would be the most optimal, if you could bring yourself to it. But I'd say again that literature will do a much more thorough job. Especially if the children are themselves shy about it, and also, I guess, if one of them isn't "plain vanilla", in which case your insights won't be of much help.

Tough one, eh? Maybe their mum could do it?
I remember being given the Birds & Bees lecture by my mother at around 9 or 10. It seemed rude and embarrassing to me, but she was serious and straight faced, so I paid attention. Then she handed out literature. We read it, of course, it was of intense interest. The literature probably does a much more thorough job - the only purpose of the lecture is to declare the topic discussable, and important.

Up Front: It's Not Sex, and It's Not Education, in reply to Rich Lock,
Can you imagine a female schoolteacher standing before a class of 15-year-old girls and simulating for their edification the noises she makes while in the throes of sexual orgasm?
A bit too much subconscious oversharing, there, Garth....
No, I don't want him to stop, it's just getting hot. Then, the PE teacher comes in and... hey, this actually DOES remind me of school. Only difference, at the time I went "ewwww", rather than "fworrr". Incidentally, said teachers subsequently married, and have gone on to greater things.
About 20 mins later, another female teacher came in and described for all of us what giving birth was like. "It's like pooing a pumpkin", she said. Ouch, we said. Small wonder that the X generation is mostly having kids in their 30s.

I put down 'what is a blow job'. The nurse said it was oral sex.
On a slightly tangential note, a woman in a careers advisory class at high school told us to comb our hair before interviews, because "you wouldn't want to look like you just had a blow job on the back of your motorbike". She got a good solid laugh from the whole class, before the penny dropped on what she had just said, and she blushed from head to toe. It was really cute.

I want my kids to have lots of it. I'm also fully approving of them both having a solid understanding of the clitoris.
And it's never too late for that. Why, just today thanks to your facebook link, I discovered more about the clitoris than seems necessary to produce female orgasm, but surely the more the merrier?
I actually really hate that, when you wake up in the morning and discover you've become one flesh.
Yes, in more than one case I've been tempted to chew my own arm off just to slip away quietly. But I had fun the night before...I think.

Busytown: Sons for the Return Home, in reply to Rich Lock,
True. Or someone who blurts out someone else's punchline. I feel that I've lost mystique myself in divulging the secret of image searching.

Busytown: Sons for the Return Home, in reply to ChrisW,
Yeah image search is wicked. But you still need the keen eye to pick out the cool result....

Field Theory: Rugby World Cup stories, in reply to Leopold,
But couldn't Parliament always ignore decisions of the old Privy Council?
I don't know from constitutional law.
