She’s taking this remarkably well.
Well, I suppose she is crazy enough for her not to overthink the sexy lingerie part… it is not unprotected sex afterall… she will just give Cloud some pocket money to buy some condoms…
Yeah, my professor gave me the same advice. Basically that’s it.
This was short and painless.
Also I thought we already that this topic before
http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2014/08/07/0605-teenage-pregnancy/
*What* counts as unprotected sex, is the next step here. Because it’s not just to prevent babies.
Seriously Richard, you did not discuss with Ye Thuza what you wanted her to tell Sandra?
Sure, Richard had no reason to expect this, but he also should not have expected Ye Thusa to be totally in sync with what he wanted Sandra to be told, especially not when it’s something vague like “everything you need to know”. Heck, have he even thought trough what he wanted Sandra to know? There is a chance that his idea was something vague as “very embarrassing for Sandra” and “what Sandra needs to know” without actually defining what the second one entails.
Maybe the parents have finally noticed that the kids’ relationship is moving *a little fast*.
Although they approve of it, maybe they’re trying to push it in a more, let’s say, ‘stable’ route. Ye Thuza does seem to have at least a passing interest in Sandra, that threat against Cloud was indicative of her wanting Sandra to finish high school so there’s at least an academic interest. So, maybe the sex talk is pretext. Because now the parents know, they’re letting Sandra know they know, and that might sour the milk given certain activities.
Granted, it’s an odd situation that seems to be exacerbated by Larisa, but I don’t think they want to pull the trigger and call her a bad influence either. You know, being the parent of teenager can be like playing grandmaster chess, in that you need to plan your strategy in advance and work towards your goal with every move, all the while misdirecting and misleading your opponent until they ultimately do exactly what you want.
never have unprotected sex unless you plan on or are prepared for having children, and try to keep the number of partners low, sleeping around increases the risk of STDs
Ye Thuza being the cool mom as always.
Personally, I would just add “Whatever you decide to do, make it *your* choice. Don’t let anyone talk you into anything. Even if the person doing the talking is yourself. “

@ Nobody:
Maybe that’s why Sandra was so horrified. She remembered the last time and thought he was bringing Ye Thuza in to get all gynecological.
Remove Richard from the room. It’s time to have a “real” conversation.
I’m sure Sandra was terrified Ye Thuza was going to bring up Cloud specific examples, which would be a lot more terrifying. The poor girl is trying to control her ‘sexy times’ thoughts about Cloud as is; last thing she needs is his mom giving her point blank examples how such times could happen.
It’s also possible that Ye Thuza’s life being so uncertain before she was married helped her create a mindset that you had to live every second you could as long as you played it safe and kept your head about you. So sex was just another part of living life to the fullest as the world around her went crazy.
Perhaps that’s why she threatened her son with harm IF he got her pregnant before high school ended. She’s not against the two sleeping together (as she probably knows it’s going to happen sooner or later) but it’s more her worry that Sandra and Cloud won’t keep their wits and somehow end up with a kid on the way. That would be a lot more disappointing to her as she felt the pair was smarter than that.
Straight to the point, I could marry Ye tuza
@ Martin:
And in this time Ye Tuza was short and painless, I hope.
Did I ever mention that Cloud has a really cool mom?
Oh yeah I did when she got rid of that misandrist Feminazi teacher before.
Well she forgot to add that they should wait till they are both 16 or whatever is legal age where they live, otherwise she is absolutely correct. Always use protection and don’t try to imitate porno movies cause its not always the best barometer for what is good for people.
No, Richard, there isn’t any more to say. End of lecture.

She didn’t forget to mention anything. Best mom ever.
The whole part about “Don’t let anybody talk you into anything, even yourself” (courtesy Freezer is good advice too. The only thing I would add is “If you’re gonna do it, do it because you enjoy it, don’t make it an obligation for anyone.”
As these two get older, there is gonna be sexy times. Best you approach the whole situation from the right point of view.
Yeah, I’m gonna need a little more from her talk. Something like “Respect your partner’s boundaries and don’t let them disrespect yours.” Seems obvious, but too many talks leave it out.
Short and to the point.
Well Richard already has Sandra on the pill, so if Cloud just does the responsible thing and use condoms there would be very little risk for an unplanned pregnancy.
As for STD’s they are currently safe, but that only lasts until some one else getts mixed up in this. Sleeping around isn’t something most people plan on, at least not while in their first relationship. But shit happens and not being prepared for that makes it more dangerous than it needed to be.
I’d suggest she’d add a rule about protection meaning condoms, and that’s especially important if the temptation to jump the fence proves to strong.
Cloud probably already knows that a secret shared between two people isn’t really secret, so if a fence was jumped be prepared to answer for it, and it’s often better to be proactive rather than wait until your partner hears about it from someone else.
Also, it’s OK to try anything as long as it isn’t illegal, doesn’t hurt someone and it’s consensual. At the same time if you try something and it doesn’t feel right tell your partner or partners NOW, do not wait until later.
If Ye Thuza want Richard to leave so she can have a real talk with Sandra she just has to say some thing like
“And if you are going to try pegging Cloud will need a safe word. Richard have you explained to Sandra about safe words?”
Most likely there won’t be an answer as Richard just fled the building…
For someone who wanted to watch kids squirm in pain, she didn’t come up with something very painful to say.

I mean…. never ever? But you’ll never have grandkids like that.
I mean, I would’ve added a couple more things, like “examine yourself regularly” and “don’t do anything you’re not comfortable and willing to do”..

Saving them the trouble.
Yeah. Defining what “unprotected sex” is is pretty important.
I’ve heard some interesting… beliefs… before on what was considered “safe sex”…
Bravo, Novil.
Sure, there is plenty more that needs to be said about the topic (whether or not we readers will actually see it is up for debate), but that statement rang loud and clear, and leaves no doubt as to what’s most important.
I will say this much, it leaves me curious as to what will happen next.
Don’t fall for it Sandra, YeThuza is luring you to a false sense of security. I wouldn’t put it past her to do that.
Sex isn’t always about emotion.
You don’t have to be in love with someone to have sex with them.
And just because someone does have sex with you is not a guarentee of how they feel about you.
So long as both, or more I guess, people are okay with the physical and emotional stuff, things should work out.
And this doesn’t have to be a binding legal document length discussion.
Just a “Hey, you okay with this being it?” A little before can make things pretty clear.
Truth be told, while there’s all sorts of INFORMATION the kid could probably benefit from knowing (quite a bit of it likely to be conveyed by showing them some carefully selected porn — emphasis on CAREFULLY) Ye Thuza’s is the only RULE I would honestly want to lay down. Anything else seems far too much like a gross invasion of their most private of privacies (any meaning of ‘gross’ you favour) or a very inappropriate abuse of authority.
Yes, I will absolutely extend that moral position to all members of law enforcement. The government’s thugs have no business being involved in my kid’s sex life any more than mine.
Ye Thuza: “What do you mean, ‘go on’? If either of our kids are going to experiment with sex, it’s going to be with each other. Each of them meet the other parent’s approval as a dating prospect (to say nothing of a marriage prospect). Neither is at all likely to force the other into something they’re not ready for. Neither is at all likely to use sex as a manipulative tool to hurt the other emotionally… and if they’re going to make mistakes (well, they will, obviously) each of them would forgive the other one, so who better?
“I said the only thing I really, 100% want to forbid. Beyond that, I’m quite happy to let them figure out the fiddly details on their own, with each other. Aren’t you?”
Richard: “WELL… maybe not quite so–”
Ye Thuza: “WHAT? MY CLOUD ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH?”
Richard: “Nononononono!”
@ MidoriLuna:
Given this is the Rebel Thuzawere taling about…Light body armor and condoms
Never? Not even when she’s an adult and if she decides she wants to have kids?
Seriouly? At least add COMMUNICATE, if you want your kid to have a healthy and happy physical relationship.
What did Richard expect Ye Thuza would say. She decided about the future of Sandra and Cloud a long time ago.
http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2012/12/13/0437-cloud-under-pressure/
Just like the words from chef
You be ready for sex at……17.
Only if your in love right.
Nope 17.
Ye Thuza has – in her advice to her son in Strip 605 – already given her long-term Seal of Approval of Sandra. She knows they’re in it for the long haul, so she’s not too worried about her son. Larissa, on the other hand, who would seem to be a use-’em-and-lose-’em sort, would probably get a few waves of the katana.
Also, Ye Thuza is a former child soldier. She knows darker and more horrid Facts of Life than most of us want to imagine. She knows that the sweet parts of life are brief and easily lost. So as long as they’re not stupid about it and make her a grandmother before she turns 40, I don’t see her having any problem with youthful shaggings, because “gather ye rosebuds while ye may” and such.
I fail to see why anyone would be surprised. Afther all, Ye Thuza is not a product of Western Civilization. She grew up in a culture so totally different , Canada and the USA might as well be the same country. Expecting her to react like a typical Anglosphere mother is ridiculous.
@ Trimutius:
There was an earlier comic where it showed her sex talk to Cloud. It basicaly said she would chop of his bits if he got Sandra pregnant before they’d finished highschool. So anything below that I supose is acceptable.
I like her! [Thuza]
Though I still hope they wait a few years for the occasion to put her advice to use.

Come on, Ye Thuza, didn’t you bring the STD pictures? The experience isn’t complete without STD pictures.
My sex talk was: if a pregnancy happens you’re getting married.
Of course I also have the sense to understand how to prevent it so….
@ Lulz:
That’s pretty patriarchal.
Come to think of it, if Ye Thuza did behead Cloud for impregnating Sandra, he couldn’t really Marry her…
My sex talk with my daughters was only a bit longer than this. “No unprotected sex” included a clear message that apart from unwanted pregnancy, there were diseases they could get that I would not be able to fix. I also made sure they knew how to say “no” and make it stick.
Sadly, this isn’t quite enough to protect from emotional anguish if a relationship doesn’t work out. I don’t know of any way a parent can protect a child from that. 🙁
This thread is AWESOME!
My son is 7, I know that in a couple of years, I too, will need to have this talk. And, although I am open about sexuality, I am taking down some great notes here, as to what subjects really need to be hit upon.
Thanks fellow, anonymous readers from the Internets.
