Today, my 20 year-old daughter started ranting to me about her latest boyfriend's erectile problems. Trying to be a good dad, I told her all I knew about how to get the boy fixed. My wife decided to stick her head in and say, "Listen to your dad, hun. He knows all about this kind of thing." FML

Am I the only one that finds it odd to talk to your dad about your boyfriends penis? I mean it's great you have such a tight knit family, but I don't think I'd want my dad knowing about my boyfriend's package.

Tell your daughter to stop dating men that are old enough to be her father. On the other hand, if you're a 20 year old male and your junk doesn't work then you're shit out of luck.

Wow. If i told my dad about this kinda stuff, he'd flip out and be like "you're not sposd to have sex til you're married!" and stuff. Then again, I have an awful relationship with my dad.Wow. If i told my dad about this kinda stuff, he'd flip out and be like "you're not sposd to have sex til you're

They're you're family, should be the people you're closest to in life. I don't see anything wrong here, she's 20 as well so she's not a little girl. Sure if you were 16 you wouldn't talk to your parents about sex because it's to embarrassing of course. But if you're an uptight family that only talk about civilised stuff around the dinner table what is there in your life in the way of family. You basically grow up from their finacial support and stick to some basic ground rules but that sounds pretty boring. I also think it varies in different countries, I live in New Zealand and think things are a little more relaxed down in this part of the world. This is just a great example of, if you have a problem you can turn to your family to help as they will always be there for you. And at OP just enjoy the banter from your wife :P

My dad would be the last person I'd go to for that advice

Dear OP, YDI. Being a good dad, does not in-any-way-involve other males' penises. Sex-ed notwithstanding, *maybe* the one on the guy she's married to in the event of a health crisis, but otherwise... PC response: "(pronoun), you're my daughter and I love you... but please don't talk to me about erections. Unless your husband's life depends on his for medical reasons, I'm just not interested in talking to my daughter about erect penises." Defer to mother if available and/or need be. Problem averted/solved.

She needs advice from a male role model and this happens to be her father she obviously loves this man and wants it to work, we know she's not screwing tons of different men so why not be able to talk to your parents about this kind of thing? I think people saying it's wrong grew up in a sheltered family where everyone pretends no one has sex but come on how do you think you became to exist? Your parents had sex!!!! It's time for this world to grow up maybe if children had parents like the mom and dad in this FML teen pregnancy and STD's would no longer exist as these parents would teach about monogamy and protection as well as trying to help solve problems to keep this relationship together

No. How do we know she isn't "screwing tons of different men"? Where is this clearly defined? Furthermore, "so why not be able"...? Within *this* context, you're inferring that if she WERE screwing tons of different men she wouldn't/shouldn't discuss it with her parents. This completely contradicts your central argument about being verbally open about one's sex life with their parent(s). Maybe educating ourselves via accredited/validated-through-modern-medical-science sources would also help the world in growing up. Maybe we should define the parameters and capabilities of trust within given circumstances. Maybe we should address discussing sex (lives) with parents as a cultural meme. Maybe maybe maybe. We can presume all we want on this topic, but the problem is that OP got burned by wife (intentionally or not) by/for trying to help daughter with her boyfriend's penis; I shot to avert/eliminate problem; not necessarily solve it. ...inclined to agree with everything you inferred regarding lack of communication about reproduction, as being the primary fault in our society's handling of sex. We really are screwed up.
