Many parents would like to keep the talk short maybe even as short as one word "dont." But as uncomfortable as they may be, details are important:
Its not about whether they should have sex. Its about entering, with eyes wide open, that stage of life where sexual activity becomes a real possibility. It is about allowing [teenagers] to be more thoughtful, hence more in control of their own sex life. -- Source: The Globe and Mail (UK)Be honest with your child about the realities of sex:
- Having sex doesnt seal a relationship
- Sexual intimacy can powerfully affect people's emotions;
- Just because it's intimate doesn't mean it will be private especially in the age of Facebook, Twitter and text messages.
