[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of what we realized when having all the sex talks (they started around age 3, as understanding grew) is that I want my kids to grow up to be adults with healthy safe sex lives. So now that the kids are older, we focus on pleasure, consent, respect, it needs to be a Hell Yes! not a tentative no from both parties.

Making sex a weird mysterious thing makes it more interesting, and taboo. Making it normal and healthy is so far working for us. Our kids are well educated on how bodies work and how to be respectful of another person. It likely won't stop them from having sex, but I'm also playing the long game.[/quote]

+1. The goal has to be teaching that sex is a very normal but that like most things in life should be thought through and managed because of consequences.  We want kids not to have sex young because they aren’t emotionally mature enough to handle all that relationships entail or the potential consequences of sex.  It’s no different than teaching kids about fires and fire safety or water and water safety, or even crossing the street.  [/quote]

This is true and I agree, but I’m still going to make it harder and inconvenient, especially for a younger teen. [/quote]
