Let's Talk About Sex, To Your Child

The sex conversation can be uncomfortable for some and some parents avoid the conversation all together (which is mind blowing, in my opinion). When sex is how we humans create life.

 My theory on why some parents fear the sex talk with their child:

• They're  SUPER freaks
• Have experienced a horrible sexual experience
• Don't believe they can explain sex to a child  
• Never experience sex in all it's glory
• Unsure of their own sexuality
• Believes that sex is something that's done once you're married and there's no need to discuss the subject

Regardless of your personal experience with sex, I believe once your child curiosity develops about sex then you need to explain sex in the simplest term (age also a factor). For example, "sex is shared between two people that has loving feels for each other", explain the importance of waiting to have sex not only for girls but boys as well (we live in such a double standard world....crazy) and masturbation. It may sounds disturbing to have conversation with your child about masturbation more so if your child happens to be a girl; however, it would benefit both boy & girl to know how the anatomy workings. By engaging in sex talk an if unwanted touching unfortunately happens your child would feel comfortable talking to about the situation (every parent wants that).

It can be difficult for parents to see their children as sexual being but they are, we all are. I met a Latino woman that teaches her granddaughters sexuality. She teaches them how to use their eyes, running their finger through their hair and sensual ways to rotate the shoulder (her grandchildren age range is 10 to 15 year old). Don't judge her! I find that some cultures are sexual naturally and others are confined.

Knowledge is Power.
