Talk to your Kids

1. Talk to your children:
   
   You have a huge advantage over your kid because you know the pleasures of sex. The first thing to do is remove the imaginary visions they might have about sex. The stuff that they see on TV, Internet or magazines- should be explained as it is. A child will ask question about boys at the age 10 for girls and 9 for boys. Sometimes it may even be earlier depending on the sexual activity of their parents. Yes! Your children can inherit your sex drive. They have also probably heard you have sex, and you are doing more harm than good by not addressing it.

2. Explain to them what sex is:
   
   The old theory of the birds and the bees will have to go out the window. The children today are much smarter than you think with the open airways of the Internet. So you will have to explain it in mommy and daddy terms. If you are a single parent then you have to tell them in man and women terms. Let them know that love is a feeling and not simply about pleasure.

3. Teach them about Love:
   Too many people are using the word love, and it's devaluing the emotion. Love is a feeling and you should teach them about the feeling love and the word love. If they hear the word love so much they might get confused about the meaning of the word.

4. Teach them about the pleasures of sex:
   
   You should always tell them that what they are about to experience in sex will make them feel good. You should tell them that the feelings sex can bring are strong and dangerous and shouldn't be taken advantage of.

5. Teach them the dangers of Sex:
   
   This is when you have the chance to tell them about STD's and AIDs. Since they don't know about this stuff, you have a chance to help them understand that taking care of their bodies will prevent this stuff. So when they do have sex at the age 14-16 (Middle School and High School) they know how to detect an STD.

6. Teach them about Birth
   
   We all know in the toddler area we tell kids that babies come from the stork. Well, once the child reaches 8 years of age they get into the pre-stages of puberty. So you must upgrade that stork theory to mom and dad. You have to let them know that babies come from a mommy and daddy. They already see it on the discovery channel with the other mammals. So you need to show them that they can produce babies the same way.

Tips & Warnings

• The more they know how to take care of their bodies the less interested they may be in sex. The more they know about sex and the ups and downs of sex the less interested they will be when they try sex. Some girls try it once and if they have communication with their parents they might not try it again until they are older. The kids that don't have their parents’ communication will use sex to help them with their emotions of being a teenager.
