let's talk about sex - post 281

So I actually get this question quite often. What do I tell my kids when they find out about what I draw? Well, my answer is easy. I don't tell them and I keep it so they don't find out. It's not something they need to know in my personal opinion, but like your Dad's old Playboy magazines, there is a chance that they'll come across it at one point or another.
Right now they're young so I don't draw, talk about or look at (surf to) any furry or toon sites naughty or other wise (obviously). As they get older the same will rules apply even past the 18+ mark. It's not that I'm ashamed of it, but it's just something that they don't need to know about dear old Dad. I do all my "Joe" drawings when they're in bed or sometimes on my lunch break. That's all there is to it.
But what happens if they find it one day. That's could be trickier to talk about. In our house though we keep things very open for discussion and we don't use stupid names for genitalia (special spot, bird, down there, etc...). Right off the top the kids need to know what the proper names are. My daughter is 5 and she knows already. Having a baby brother (or sister) to compare to brings that stuff up quickly. Jumping back, so what will I say if they find out? I'm not sure but I know I'll be honest with them and I won't get angry at them for discovering my secret drawing stash. That's the most important thing in my opinion. I might say something like "Daddy likes to draw naked cartoons sort of like how you like to draw princess or ponies", but who knows until the time actually comes.
I have all my dirty art stashed in a box in the basement (all for sale too if anyone wants some) but lately I've been doing all my art (except commission work) digitally, so there is no drawings to find unless they're snooping around on my laptop. Which no one but me does, not even my wife (who knows about my drawing habits).
So yeah, my basic answer is, my kids won't find out what I draw. I take great care so they don't have to know although the older they are if and when they make the discovery will make explaining it easier... I hope ^_^

Pictures of her fursona in rather naughty scenes....
It would be just like seeing the porn video your parents made a few years back that ultimately was the reason why your sister was conceived. While thumbing through your dad's sock drawer cause you were out of socks and you were waiting for your friends to come pick you up to go to the movies. So you think to yourself this is already some kind of a porn movie that you thought your dad was hiding from you mom so you pop it into the VCR and then you realize that's your mom with her looked up at the camera while she's in your dad's lap.
God that would suck....
"Dad? Why is your name on this picture?"
"Dad, are you the same Doug Winger as that guy online?"
Alternately, there's always the deathbed scene--where, with your dying breath at the age of 120, you weakly hand your children a briefcase full of smut.
But I do agree with you that kids need to know the PROPER names for the genitalia, as well as what they're for. I knew by five what a vagina was, and what a penis was, and while my parents obviously didn't get into the nitty-gritty with me, I knew the basic mechanics of what went where. I say five, because it didn't really click until then, although I have a very vivid memory of the moment I realized that people had to be naked, and why would anyone want to do that? But it kept me from having to learn from health class, or, worse, my classmates or such. And it taught me a respect for the body.
Once my dad was seconds away to uncower my Bag'O'Toys. I was stashing some adult toys in one of my many purses and my dad decided that i have too many purses and i need to move the unused one outside...and when i stepped into my room and asked what (the f*ck) is he doing, he was reaching for my Toy Purse at that moment!! The he picked it up! THAT instant i teleported (somhow i managed to instantly travel 2 meters acros my room.) next to him and yelled at him to NEVER AGIN TOUCH MY BELONGINGS, and ripped my "stash" out of his hands!
Saved only by seconds...My dad said i was overreacting. If he found out what my purse hides, he would be the one ashamed. I just yelled him out of my room. I got away easy though 'cause my friends mother find her toys, and she is asahmed for life... Just telling for Joe, what awaits him when his secret is going to get out. He'll live it trough, but get a red face just thinking on it! I do when my adventure pops into my mind.
1. Introduce kids to 4Chan
2. Kids realize there's worse things out there
3. ???
4. Profit!
I believe they should see nudity just like another normal thing.
