Long before we had kids, my husband and I already decided that we will be very open to our kids when it comes to discussing different aspects in life, including sex.

It’s a complicated thing to discuss with your children, I know, but I think it can be done. I believe that if you bring up your child to look at things with an open mind, he/she will learn to ask intelligent questions, even about the stupidest and “dirtiest” of things. And of course, when they ask innocent questions, you need to be prepared with an informative and intelligent answer as well.

It also helps to prepare yourself for possible questions your kids might ask. Check the video I found on YouTube for an idea of what kids might ask about sex.

Okay. So those weren’t exactly the questions I want to hear from my kids, but knowing my husband’s and my twisted personality, it is possible that our kids will ask at least one of those questions.The point is, I am not afraid to talk about sex with my kids, when they are old enough to understand. Sex is an inevitable part of life, and I’d rather them hear it from me and their dad than from some misinformed and brainless maniac on the street whose idea of “The Talk” is actually answering the questions on the video, with whatever he picked up from dirty porn magazines and tabloids. Ugh.

Well, I still have several years more to prepare myself for “The Talk”. Let’s hope that I’m ready to do it when my kids are.
