Description
As a sex educator, one of the most common questions I get from parents is when and how to talk to their kids about sex. When should these conversations begin? And what do you need to know to successfully navigate them? Let's talk about "the talk!" In this show, we're going to explore tips on how to normalize conversations about sex, sexuality, and relationships with your kids and give them the resources and skills they need to make healthy decisions and to lead happy and fulfilling intimate lives.
I am joined by Dr. Lanae St.John, also known as The MamaSutra. She is a board-certified sexologist, certified sex coach, and former professor of human sexuality. Lanae is also the author of Read Me: A Parental Primer for "The Talk." She has first-hand knowledge about how to navigate issues of sexuality as a parent, and uses that experience to help her clients. Some of the topics we discuss include:
How do you make conversations about sex comfortable instead of awkward?
As a parent, how can you model healthy communication for your kids?
What are some ways parents can teach basic consent principles to their children?
What are some things parents can do to help their kids cultivate healthy body image?
Pleasure is one of the primary reasons people have sex, but it is rarely taught in sex ed. What should be addressed when talking about pleasure?
What do you need to know when it comes to talking to kids about porn?
Check it out! To learn more about Lanae, visit her website "The Mamastura," and follow her on Instagram @themamasutra.
