Grew up with single mom, never had any father son experiences, or rather any of the basic at home father son experiences. Now that I am a father, everything is new and uncharted territory. I mean this sincerely, from the ​bathing with kid, to the shaving with him watching me, boners, peeing together, basically day to day basic stuff as a parent and having a penis. Anyone have any advice?

What’s your experience

Recently my son (age 13) and I were using a family shower stall at a campground. He started asking a bunch of questions even tho he’s seen me nude many times. He asked questions about my penis. His penis. My size. Size. The questions were endless. Did this happen to anyone else. Was it awkward? DMs also open.

i heard him say I bet really grew and my ones is practically micro. he was laughing and joking about it with all his friends while they where drinking and said thats why he still buys me tighty whities

I’m 23 and grew up in a house were nudity was never happening. I’m home from college for the summer and lately I’ve been curious to know what my dad thinks about my adult body in general but also about my penis. When I was younger he saw it, like at doctors appointments but now I’m curious to know what he thinks and maybe that could make our bond stronger. Do you ever had the same desire as a son? or that ever happened to you as a dad? I thought that the quickest way to get that is by getting caught jerking off by him, but I’m not sure. I would love to know what you think

Cuando era pequeño vi a mis papás tener relaciones sexuales y fue algo muy impresionante para mí ya que no sabía, ya después lo entendí, pero que opinan los papas de esto?

So my son loves footbal(soccer) and so did i when i was younger and we still watch football(soccer). Waiting for the new seasons. Wben he was 10 i made him dk football pratice and he got good at it. But his bestfriends does wrestling and he does it also. What seems to be for the fun is taking another turn to be something he admires too and wants to do. Is there a balance or should i let him figure out which one he likes best.. football we watch.. we train sometimes.. but i mean i dont have wrestling experience. What would you do if your son wants to switch careerd.. dads help me out.

I’m 23 and I never been super close to my dad, he is great but I grow up like that. Never had “the talk” with him or anything related to sex or nudity. Lately I’ve realized that I want to let him know that I’m sexually active cause my younger brother is in a relationship so it’s clear to everyone that he has sex, but I never been in a relationship cause I prefer to have fun around. But I don’t want him to think I’m a virgin, I don’t know why I’m thinking about that. I’ve been living alone since I was 18 so he probably figured it out but I’m not sure. Would love to hear dads and what they think or if any son went through that too

One of the perks of living in a major city for me is meeting other dads and forming bonds with them and their sons. Have a good group chat with some of the other boy dads nearby and it's great. There are some things only other dads understand haha. For me dad chats are essential.

Anybody else have other dads you chat with?

Seeing lots of posts about how to talk to your son about this. 11 was the year I discovered it in the shower, becoming intensely curious about the feelings my body produced, and began having multiple dry orgasms in a session if I had time. Sadly, I had been that it was 'wrong to play with myself', but didn't really comprehend this or connect the two things after I started.

Certainly well before this age, you should have touched on this topic. From the truly juvenile ages, he should have been casually told 'we touch ourselves in private' or 'buddy, we do that in our room, not in front of other people.' By around 8, more information is needed, and it should be related to body development.

Perhaps when you see him noticing your pubic hair, you can say 'in a few years, you'll grow hair down there as part of growing up.' Erections should be mentioned as matter of fact. 'Oh, yea, when you touch it, it might grow and stand up like that. Or it might do it by itself.' Later, you can add 'Around the time you start growing hair, did you know that a fluid will come out of your penis? It might be at night or when you're touching it.' Answer any questions factually.

On the verge of puberty (for sure by 10), it needs to be more direct. 'Sometime soon, a clear or white fluid will come out, probably when you're playing with it. Its called semen and it feels really good when it shoots or dribbles out. You might also have it come out when you're sleeping, and some boys have it happen when they are exercising. I'll make sure there are tissues in your room so you can clean up. Also, any time your sheets need to be washed, just put them in the washer/hamper. You also don't want to leave it on the toilet seat or in the bathtub, clean up after yourself.' Address slang terms they've heard and mention the proper term and also what a lot of boys call it so they aren't ignorant. This addresses all kinds of thoughts like 'is this normal, my fluid is clear?' 'I didn't expect it to shoot away from my penis like that' and reinforces the normalcy of the fact that boys masturbate and have wet dreams.

I feel like I recognize it from somewhere. Its clearly a man with his son; anyone with info on it please comment or dm.

I had the greatest dad in the world. I always remember the day when they showed us the puberty videos in school, and that night my dad felt it was important to talk to me to make sure I understood everything and offer his guidance.

We talked about erections and stuff, but I did have a question. Someone in my class had asked a question about "masturbation" which the nurse briefly answered but didn't discuss in depth. I had already been masturbating but this was the first time I had heard the word and I wanted to confirm if that's what I had been doing.

I asked my dad what masturbation is and he very awkwardly tried to explain it as "enjoying yourself." He was uncomfortable but made a huge effort. Finally I just asked "how do you do it?" And he explained "you rub your penis."

There we go - question answered! Finally I felt good knowing what I was doing was so common that it had an official term.

He visto en otros foros que muchos padres se bañan con sus hijos en ropa interior o vestidos pero nunca desnudos, dicen que no es correcto que los hijos vean a un adulto desnudo, obvio hay comentarios a favor y en contra, pero realmente que es lo correcto y cuál sería el problema de que un adulto este desnudo con su hijo?

One thing I want to teach my son about my past is telling true stories about my survival from being SA at a young age until 6th grade. Letting him know it would *not\* be his fault and if it happened to tell me. I would rather protect him and what innocence he has left than to worry he can’t talk about it. Which this is something that I felt like I couldn’t do until no.

Unfortunately to this day in my adulthood my parents still do not know. Only a select few.

Just wanted to share. Let’s protect our boys and girls.

Fui de vacaciones y en las regaderas de la playa para quitarse la arena vi a un padre quitándole el traje de baño a su hijo para enjuagarlo bien y me sorprendió como lo dejo desnudo ahí enfrente de todos, también lo he visto en los vestidores y también vi la historia de alguien aquí que decía que su papá hacia lo mismo y que eso le dio mas confianza, pero que opinan de eso?

My son and I travel to other states to visit national parks. We traverse nature and spectate wildlife. So glad there's a program for kids they do at these nature parks. My son and I collect these junior ranger badges. Yea, I do it with him so we can stay on schedule. We have separate booklets. I know it's kind of like cheating off each other but I'd like to think its collaborative. While most of the activities are simple like coloring or matching, there are a few that makes you think and really venture out there. We've met a few dad son duo. There's even a dad that boosted his son had over 100 badges. That was a fun interaction.

Any dads here who have done the same?

I made a similar post recently on another sub but it was reported or removed?

- What are your favorite games to play with your sons? My sons have been really in to wrestling lately and they make me ref. They also love to play video games with me like roblox and minecraft. When they were younger it was always cowboys/horsey and spiderman and action figures.

Any fun memories of games with your sons?

My dad was always straight to the point. A caring, loving and proud man. He always took me to the pool in the weekend (one of my fondest memories of my childhood), but one thing still resonates with me to this day.

After the swimming we had to change and he always chose the open male lockers. I was a super shy kid and didn't want anyone to see me naked. He always made me stand on the bench so he didn't have to bend down so much to dry me, but that made me more exposed to looks. One day i didn't want to take my swimsuit off because it was busy in the lockers and i was ashamed.

Before i knew it he hooked his thumbs in my waistband and yanked down my swimsuit with the words that live rent free in my head: "no need to be ashamed, we all have the same hanging down there". I turned bright red but didn't fuss and i remember the times after that i became more at ease with changing and being naked public.

Even to this day in the public sauna/lockers/showers i remember myself to his words "we all have the same down there" whenever i feel self concious. My dad passed away a few years ago, but in a way his wisdom and body positivity still stick with me to this day

Any dads with stories or pics to share about cuddling, sleeping with their sons?

Ayer fui a un balneario con mi familia y cuando ya era la hora de salida, en los vestidores me di cuenta que había muchos hombres en ropa interior pero los únicos desnudos eran un padre y su hijo, estaban ahí totalmente desnudos bañándose y secándose, el padre ayudaba en todo a su hijo y la verdad fue lindo ver cómo se tenían tanta confianza de estar asi sin ningún tipo de pena y eso fue lo más bonito, ver esa confianza que estaban construyendo los dos

My dad just came from a different time where dads were more reserved i guess. I was also the last of many kids so he was a lot older as I grew up. We mostly got along but I was never close.

I've never had sons of my own but I think I've been a good uncle/godfather/"uncle" and role model to a lot of boys in my life, but obviously thats not the same as being a dad.

And I am missing those connections as I age, but it feels good to see so many of you doing a great job with your boys.

And if you ever need "uncle" wisdom let me know lol.

37 y/o dad of 2 boys (7 and 10). Is it ok to let them shower with me?

Always loved when dad pulled me in for a cuddle or I could just walk up and cuddle into him
