We have three boys, so our talks with them will go a little differently and I probably will not be involved with the sex talks with the older two (while I consider them my sons I am still not their biological parent, so unless they seem like they WANT to talk to me about sex I will probably not put them through that!). Both me and my partner are firm believers in educating your children about sex – in todays day and age it simply is not safe to do otherwise. And as some (ahem) rather high profile teen pregnancies in abstinence only families have shown us, that simply doesn’t work. You cannot make your teen not have sex. It is much better for them to make an informed decision about sex. In the case of my sons, I want them to know that some girls will actually try to get pregnant, or if they do might try to say you are the father even if i is not true. I want them to be prepared for the consequences, because for young men the consequences might seem (and be) less severe but they are very real.
