Sex education is important. It is needed because there is more exposure online and its becoming less sacred and special. It's becoming part of the norm to do it, even more so at a young age. 

Where do we draw the line as a parent?

Be open to the reality that they will be experimenting and wanting to be curious. 

Create the safe place for them to learn, because at a friends party being intoxicated isn't a better option. 

It doesn't need to be uncomfortable, unless you make it uncomfortable. This is not about story for story on what you know about sex. This is about taking the time to let them know that you are there to support them on whatever they need with advice on protection guidelines. 

Your experience is going to be completely different to theirs. 

We see in movies where there is the lady laying there and you can see all over her face that she is not having the best time. All the guy is doing is doing what they think is right to them. 

So, if they aren't getting educated from you or movies where are they meant to get it from? 

Well I ask you, do you know what they are teaching at school?

A lot of people complained about how sex education is taught at school and how simple and uncomfortable it felt being around people. Even the whole separation of boys and girls, rather than putting them together so that they can learn about each other. 

Where is it meant to be properly taught? 

As a parent there is so much to juggle between and I completely understand that it can be overwhelming. 

The safest place is always being at home and so can being vulnerable and having these types of conversations at home. 

It is meant to be a supportive open communication from you, the most trusted advice comes from parents and the one that will deeply sink in and take understanding. 

You might be thinking, no way, that is too uncomfortable for me to do!

Well then let me suggest some options: 

It should come from someone they trust and feel comfortable to openly speak with and no judgement. 

Seek advice from professionals: 

1. Comfortable in my skin. Ellie has created a great community for people to really express themselves and know that our bodies are all unique and beautiful in every way. 

2. HeHealth.ai is a great advocate to helping boys with their sexual health and opening up the conversation with boys.

3. Chantelle Otten has an incredible book called "The sex ed you never had". A great read for anyone even as a parent to get a better insight on what you can talk about. 

4. Finally, a qualified sex educator like Katelin who is passionate to make females in particular feel respected, comfortable and empowered about themselves. Creating clear boundaries, consent and being able to speak up for their own rights to their bodies. Who created You Go Girlfriend! 

Everyone deserves to be respected and understood. 

Communication gives the proper involvement and connecting on what will make someone else's experience enjoyable. 

If they have never done it before, then this is where you encourage them to take it slow. Why rush something that can be so magical from the first touch. The sensations that come along and the feelings that attach to it. 

Young girls have a real struggle of confidence when it comes to the bedroom. Why? because no one is helping them build their confidence first before taking action.

However, that can change. 

Book in a 1:1 session with Katelin to get these steps underway.
