Boy help

Ladies I am in need of some advice. My 9 year old son is doing Preparing for 3rd grade and loving it. The other day he came up to me and said "Mom what does having sex mean?" Jaw drops....where did you hear that? (I was fully expecting to hear from the neighbors, or YouTube, or some other place). However, due to his love of reading he has been reading the Bible from the beginning voluntarily. He got to the story of Joseph when Potiphar's wife tempts him. So of all places to hear about sex he learns it from the Bible. His dad and I did what we could to have a talk with him and give him some basics. Here is my question...in HOD I don't see much mention of boyhood and manhood books until RTR, which is two more levels up. Does anyone have any good resources for the in-between time...as his natural curiosity is there and I want to teach him in a healthy way about identity and sexuality in a way that helps them to see God's beauty and majesty in the plan. Those who have gone through these awkward conversations too that can give me some advice as to how to not tell too much, but also give them what they need in a vastly different world than when I was growing up!! Thank you for understanding!!

Otherwise, for your question here, in visiting with Carrie, she suggested you just go ahead and go through "From Boy to Man" and "What is God's design for my body?" if you are wanting that kind of discussion now. They are Christian, straight-forward, and the best resources she knows of to discuss the Biblical consummation of marriage. Here is a link to order them if you would like...
