Related: About this forumMy almost 12 year old son is starting to get those pre-teen hormonal attacks!
Another DUer mentioned her 15 year old son's hormonal attacks in a great thread about how HE has more of a clue than rush limbooger.
My son worked in his first campaign in 2010 when he canvassed with me to attempt to get Libby Mitchell elected Governor of Maine. He is a young man that a friend trusted enough to come out to at the end of his 5th grade year because he knew that my son is a true friend. He will be working along side of his mom and I this year to get President Obama re-elected, put a Democrat in olympia snowe's seat and to keep the House seat in Democratic hands as well as to get the state legislature back.
That being said, he is very young and those hormones are starting to HOP. I pulled a dirty trick on him a few days ago.
He asked when he'd be able to watch "a movie with a lot of boobs in it". I told him that I'd put on a DVD with "a lot of boobs in it".
I played "Farenheit 911" for him and pointed out a LOT of boobs like bush, cheney, rumsfeld, wolfowitz, etc.
He went from very thrilled to very pissed VERY QUICKLY, but he did see the humor in it. He can always appreciate a joke, even when it's a good natured one at his expense. He WILL get me back for that one, however.
I just thought I'd share. I thought it was funny; a little cruel, but FUNNY! It's my 2 cents and quite possibly overpriced at that!
PEACE!

(47,675 posts)That was a dirty trick. Get a movie with some actual boobs. He's PG-13 and R level now. Guys like tits. That's that. It isn't like he can't get them on the Internet. I'm not talking porn movies, but just ones that actually do show some flesh. There are too many to list and I'm sure you've seen enough of them to have something in mind. Let him watch it alone. There's nothing unnatural or wrong with that, but FOX and the Dubya administration don't have boobs - they've got anal cysts.
There's nothing wrong with tits. Tits are natural. They're fun to play with. They're also food. Guys like tits. Originally it probably developed from a view that big tits produced more milk, which is not true by the way. But it is instinctive for guys to want to see tits. As a father of three beautiful and nearly full grown daughters, I can attest that my wife's tits were a major factor in what they became - she breast fed them all, even while in school board meetings (of which she was an elected member). I'm a "more than a handful's a waste" sort of guy, but that is always going to be a point of attraction for guys. Second base, if you will.
The only thing you need to do is point out that while the female form is beautiful and inspires sexual desires, that doesn't make a female any less qualified for any position a man might take. I get on guys' asses all the time about the "women can't do a man's job" bullshit. My wife is a 3rd degree black belt and my three daughters are all second degree black belts. My middle one runs the school's demonstration team. Don't fuck with these chicks!
Oh, and just for a plug, my eldest (junior at McDaniel) is spending this semester in Budapest. Her blog is KrystinasCrossings.com
There's nothing wrong with sex. Kids are going to have it and pornography is why the Internet (and VHS for that matter) exists. Just tell them what I've always said - "PUT A RUBBER ON IT!"

On my list of favorite pleasures in this life, naked ladies is pretty close to the top of the list.
As far as my ideas towards womwn, I don't believe that I have to justify my positions on repecting them andsupporting them in their ambitions.
I do have to make any decision as to what movies to allow my son to watch in partnership with my wif and she doesn't want that to happen just yet. I am respecting her wishes.
BTW, you like big boobs, my "type while growing up was the girls that other guys would call "fat" because they were a larger size. I remember MANY times going out with a friend to the bars (in the 70s) and the friend going for the steel bellied arihead and me going for the chubby friend. Guess which of us had more fun and way fewer one night stands?
Good for you and your wife for raising 3 strong and independent ladies! I'll will check out your daughter's blog. What an adventure this must be for her. Just for my info, what attracted her to Budapest?
PEACE!

(47,675 posts)She's been there before. She went to Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic with GYLC a few years ago and spent two weeks in Greece and Turkey for a photography class last January (and took about 11,000 pictures - not kidding).

Good for her and good for your wife and you for raising such self-confident and strong and adventureous young ladies (since I'm sure that your other daughters share the same qualities)!
PEACE!

he has had a couple of girlfriends to this point but he does know that at his age, all they need to be is friends. He has plenty of time for anything else.
PEACE!
