Hey guys - about a month ago I posted a message about my son's recent habit of staring at me in the showers. A few of you had asked how things were going. It had been status quo over the last few weeks - I basically left the situation alone, let him look and didn't say anything. Plus with the holidays, we only worked out together a few times over the last 4-5 weeks. But a few days ago, I finally got him to open up.
Todd (my son) has been using an electric razor with the little bit of peach fuzz growing on his face. He had asked me to teach him how to use a razor blade, so I told him we could do that while he was off from school and I was off from work this week. We made plans for him to come in to the master bathroom Wednesday morning, as my wife and daughter would be out of the house and we could have some one on one time. I was debating whether to do the lesson au natural, as it might provide us the opportunity to discuss his curiousity and whatever questions he was having. I was really uncomfortable with the idea as the day approached - it just felt very strange to me - but that morning I was more at ease and it seemed the right thing to do, so what the hell. I toweled off after my shower and hung the towel back up before my shave.
So I gave him his shaving lesson, and as I expected his attention was split between my instructions and my penis. When I finished up, I asked him if there was anything else he wanted to talk about. He hesitated, and said no. I told him I noticed he was still curious about my penis, and that it's perfectly normal to be curious and want to look at it, and that if he did have questions he could ask me. More hesitation, and then the questions finally started.
The first thing he wanted to know was how big I was. I started to preface my remarks by saying that size doesn't really matter. His response: "Dad, I think you're the only one who believes that." I had to laugh, which I think cut the tension and put us both at ease. When I told him I was about five inches, he said he thought so. Apparently, while he was looking in the showers, he was measuring my penis against the tiles, then measured his hand against the tiles to figure out how big I was. That gave me a laugh as well - clever young man. He was confused though, because he thought I was big compared to most of the adults he's seen in the locker room, but his friends at school all claim their father's are in the 6"-7" range. I explained that his friends or their father's might be exaggerating because only a small number of men are that size. (Unless the men in our school district are the same guys I've seen in the photo galleries here...) He asked about my erection size (to use his word, "boner") and the obvious questions about whether he would grow to be my size as well.
We continued to talk, and while we had already had "the talk" a few years ago, he had some follow ups, especially on the topic of masturbation. While he likes to do it, he always feels silly when he does it. So I told him, yes, dad still does it too, and yeah, maybe it is a little silly, but it's fun, so who cares. He laughed at that one.
Anyway, we had a great talk, probably for close to an hour. When we went to the gym this afternoon, as we undressed by our locker he whispered that he wouldn't look at me today because he saw enough of me naked on Wednesday! It's great to have a son who can make me laugh.
Thanks to everyone who offered advice on this topic, and Happy New Year!
