Sex is one of the most difficult topics of discussion between parents and teens. This seems strange, though, doesn’t it, since sex is how you got your teen in the first place? Thankfully, however, parents aren’t alone in their quest for teaching their teens the joys of a healthy and loving sexual relationship, the perils of premarital sex and unplanned pregnancy and parenthood and the dangers of porn and cyber-sex.
“Whether we want to admit it or not, the wireless world is largely responsible for shaping a teen’s opinions of sexuality. And what they don’t get from the internet they get from their friends/peers.”
It doesn’t have to be this way, though. Parents, by having one small conversation you’re your teens-a conversation you start-about sex in general, you are opening up doors that your teens actually want to walk through. That’s right-while most teens may not initiate the conversation, they want the truth and they are smart enough to know that you have some insight and wisdom on the matter. If parents will simply acknowledge the problem of their teen’s constant access to sexually explicit material and be brief, sincere and direct, they’ll see first-hand that their children want to talk to them and will actually listen.”

Finally, as parents, you know what moral expectations you have for your teens regarding purity. Who better to hear them from, then, than you?
