Wow, maybe my family is crazy I don’t think I ever heard my mom or dad so much as say the word sex growing up. They never told us not to have sex, that was a given. We were taught the bible though and “it is good for a man not to touch a woman” my husband and I were both virgins when we married 🙂

I NEEDED this! My 11yr old is just starting middle school & they did a “life lessons” class last year, that was just supposed to cover physical body changes & hygiene only…and about half the kids sat it out, but it did end up going into reproduction, but he really shows no interest in learning more. But I feel my 9yr old (who’s liked girls & had a “girlfriend” for 3 years-the same girl even) needs to start hearing things sooner, despite the age difference. Thanks for the tips!

In reply to Paul Byerly. I wouldreally appreciate hearing some Christian sex bloggers share their thoughts on this!

Great post! I personally think one of the biggest challenges for young people is: "What do I do with this sex drive and knowledge/questions/misconceptions about sexuality while I wait for marriage one day?"

It's not an easy question to answer, especially as years can turn into decades, and considering the hostile environment to the truth we live in.

In reply to Paul Byerly. Well, this post was more of a HOW than a WHAT to tell your teen. Maybe I should take a stab at my thoughts on what to tell your teen...

In reply to Heather Sibert. Amen to that. Our recent survey found that 28% of boys see porn before their 11th birthday, and 55% before their 13th birthday. For girls it was 32% before 13th, and 49% before their 15th birthday.

Looking just a those under 18, 75% of boys had seen porn by age ten!

This was primarily folks raised in church. "Seeing porn" was defined as a good look at full nudity porn, not just catching a glimpse.

In reply to Paul Byerly. Actually I meant the other third rail - masturbation.

All great ideas, I am in the middle of doing this with my second oldest. I am talking to him over a series of times, not just one day. Talking about how a lot of different topics. We have talked about the importance of God's design for marriage and sex. Next session is the mechanics of sex. My older son and I still have talks about it and we will continue to. I plan on talking with both of them from time to time until the get married, even afterward if they want to talk. I will also talk with my daughter some, when she get's older, but for now that is my wife's job mostly, but I am going to teach her what to look for in a man and let her know how a man treats a lady.
