Coach gives the sex talk to the boys

Now boys, I know that by now most of you have discovered you have a penis. You pee with it, and maybe even have taught it some other tricks. I remember once when my son was real young, he looked down in his pants with an anxious look and said, “It’s trying to get bigger.” Well boys, it’s going to do that whenever it wants to for the best part of the rest of your life. That’s the basis of procreation.

If you’re like me when I was your age, you’ve been doing some avid experimentation with the pleasure aspect of your penis. Maybe in private or maybe in small groups-- all okay, all normal. You may have even named your thing by now. Okay, too.

But puberty is just around the corner or maybe here for you. That means you’re loaded and dangerous. You are capable of making a new human being. Yes, it’s true., boys. Acne, squeaky voice, barely visible facial hair, and you could make a baby.

So you’ve got this thing asserting control over your life, getting your full attention in math class, at night in bed, watching soft porn, at the pool. So what do you do?  Pleasure is a gift of evolution. But you get to decide how and when and with whom you want to share it. So boys, take responsibility for your decisions. Educate yourself. Be careful as it becomes an instrument of manhood, love, intimacy or harm.

It’s a wonder to behold…and to hold. Treat it right.
