Contraception Talk

Have any other blokes mothers ever said "Have you got protection?". Mines just said it to me, because my dad's dead, so she apparently had to say it. Anyway, I just wanted to know if any other blokes have been asked this by their mothers. I hate anon function, but I'm really embarrased and uncomfortable about this. I know but I'm probably overreacting, but still.

Hahaha.

No. More along the lines of "make sure you're sensible".

Just looking out for you.

I wouldn't worry about it, at least your mum cares!! She doesn't want details, just wants you to be aware of the facts, which is responsible!
I'm 25 and my dad still asks me if I'm having safe sex, I love him, but grrrr, I am not 12 anymore, I am aware of my options, but he's only saying it for my own good, not because he's nosey (I hope) :p:

yeah my ex's mum did that to him when he was about 13 lol. he was going to a party and she was giving him a lift there and started giving him the talk. saying how she knows hes probably going to be having sex, and its ok as long as he uses a condom. actually he wasnt going there to have sex. just to have a laugh with his mates lol. but anyway.

Eh? You were having sex at 12? As the Virgin slogan goes: 'Whatever turns you on'...

The way my mother used to do it was wait until I couldn't escape so she could talk to me... places like, the car... or when I had a cold.... or when I was in hospital with a broken leg.....

I just get a "be careful" when I go out. I think that's meant to cover all areas.

My dad ignores the subject completely - fair dos because I'm female - but my mum skirts around the subject. Sometimes I wish they had acknowledged it - all I got at 16 was "you're too young". But my ex and my current boyfriend both got it, fret not.

My parents have never said anything to me as far as I remember. My Mum at least knows I'm on the Pill though because I occasionally leave the packet in the bathroom by mistake in the mornings.

Yeah if my mum's giving me a lift out she'll say something like " if you get off with a boy make sure your careful" and she says it in the car because she knows i can't escape.
I hate it when she says this it's soooooo embarassing for some reason :redface:

GOD I KNOW. Mine's exactly like this; so cruel, and when she's finished saying whatever excruciatingly embarassing thing it is, you both have to sit there in awkward silence for the rest of the car journey before you can run out of the car.

My parents have never spoken to me about anything like this. I guess they're counting on the good old National Curriculum ( :rolleyes:

<- at that) or on the book my mother slipped me when I was about 12 (way too old for it) about "growing up" or "being a girl" or something equally patronising. Why can't they get to the point? They bought one for my brother called "Sex Ed.". Haha.

I have just tried to think where I learnt about sex from and I have no idea; I guess it must have been TV. Good old corrupting TV.

OP: at least saying it will have put her mind at ease and you will never have to have the conversation again. If you were a girl - well, if you were me, I can't speak for all - your mother would accost you at every opportunity to try and force you into going on the Pill, or to ask you mutually embarassing questions, or try make you feel guilty for no apparent reason.

My mum said it to me once, but I asked her if she really thought I gave girls my real name and telephone number?

and she never asked again. lol
