“The talk” is an old-school idea. You need to engage in ongoing conversations about sex with your kids.
The most powerful and important sex organ is the brain;  use it.
Healthy sexuality is learned.
We are not victims of our biology; we are thinking beings.  We control our actions.
It’s time to break the silence. Sexuality is too important; don’t let your kids simply pick up the values of the culture.
Kids will fill-in-the-blanks about sex with whatever information is available to them.
The desire for intimacy is universal.
Strong and loving family relationships shape children for life.
Early dating is a risk factor for early sexual exploration.
Parents, you have more influence over your teen than he or she will ever let you know. Never give up.
Your teen will push against you and act bored. Get used to it.
Sexual expression is a very personal and intimate way of sharing.  It is meant to be good and beautiful.
Forgive yourself for your parenting failures.  We all have them.
We can accomplish great things when we work together.
