"Booth, Parker's about 16, isn't he?"

"Yeah, next month. Why?"

"I was wondering if you've discussed prevention of sexually transmitted disease and unwanted pregnancies with him yet."

"What? Why would you bring that up?"

"In other words, no. Hopefully, Parker's already heard information about these health issues in school, but my research indicates that fathers are often more effective in talking to their sons."

"I'm sure Rebecca and her husband have already had the 'talk' with Parker. There are girls in the UK."

"I don't know why you're so squeamish, Booth. You became sexually active at 16. Where did you get your information? You want Parker to be educated about this sort of thing, don't you?"

"Pops told me about things when I was a kid, but I also heard a lot about it from the guys at school."

"Given the viability, motility, and high count of your sperm you're fortunate you didn't get several girls pregnant."

"How many girlfriends do you think I've had?"

"You've mentioned several. Were you exaggerating your sexual prowess?"

"I think you've had experience with my sexual prowess, so you know the answer to that question. "

"Yes, I do."

"I guess I'm not comfortable talking about sex with Parker because I still think of him as a little boy, but he's actually a man, isn't he? I'm not sure how I feel about him being sexually active now, even if I was active at his age."

"I think the important thing is to be nonjudgmental so that he'll feel comfortable talking to you. He mostly needs to know that you care, and that you're ready to listen. You'll do fine, Booth. You've always had a good relationship with Parker. It'll be good practice for talking to Christine when she's a teenager."

"No way. You're going to handle that one."

"Coward!"
