It's reassuring to hear the comments here. I just hadn't expected so detailed of questions until she was a little older than this. I seems YOUNG to be asking THESE questions.

I have been fairly open and matter of fact with her about stuff. Not really giving anymore information than what she asks but at least answering what she asks.

She even asked to see what I did with a tampon. That, I told her I would tell her how to do when she was more ready to use them and that she shouldn't try it until she was a little older or it might not fit right. Knowing her she'd try it on her own now. She's that curious and adventurous. I wasn't so sure I should literally show her what I did with it. Although I'm sure it would help her in the future. It's what she wanted. I just told her that down there was her private place and that she shouldn't show it to anyone that she didn't WANT to show it to and that didn't want to see her. No matter how matter of fact I could manage acting I was squirming inside like a worm on a hook with that question.

My mom was very open with me and spoke scientifically about things. There were some things that she herself wasn't aware of but considering her level of education on the subject she did a good job explaining things to my brother and myself.

I had a neighbor kid ask me a question about porn lately too. Asking how old my daughter would have to be for me to let her look at it. (I know this girl is curious about it now - 10 yrs old.) I told her I thought it was best that a person not even bother looking at it till they are old enough to have sex and that I didn't think a person was old enough until they were close to 18. I wasn't adamant on the age thing but knowing this one she needs a little higher age limit than some other kids do. She's a magnet for trouble.

Oh and as for birth control. My daughter knows I took BC pills. She's already learned that you take them until you're ready and able to care for a child. She already told me that when she's old enough she will take them until she's married and then she'll not take them anymore cause she wants "lots of kids." I never mentioned marriage even. She came up with that one on her own.

I guess we're off to a good start.
