In the life of every family, sooner or later the question arises – how and when to start a conversation with a teenager about sex? This delicate topic sometimes puts parents at a dead end, because many adults consider some aspects of intimate life forbidden. Therefore, in order to start a conversation on the topic of sexual relations with a matured child, you need to fill in the gaps in your own sexual education.
It is important to focus the teenager’s attention on the emotional side of sexual relations, because at this age children are very sensitive and usually associate sex with love and emotions. Having discovered hidden porn magazines in the teenager’s room, you should not make a scandal and make a question for a common discussion. The presence of such magazines only indicates the normal development of a young man or girl, and interest in sex in adolescence is a completely natural phenomenon.
Teenagers rarely turn to parents with questions on a sexual topic, and try to know all the secrets of the forbidden topic from pornographic magazines and communicating with friends who have already tasted the “forbidden fruit”.
The alarm should only be sounded if the minor in his free time does not leave the computer, studying porno-sites, communicates little with peers, has no hobbies. In this case, the sexual development of the teenager goes the wrong way and subsequently this can negatively affect his life.
Thanks to the media and the Internet, modern teenagers learn about sex much earlier than past generations. It is unlikely that parents will reveal something new to them in the question of where the children come from, but in a conversation with a young man and a girl it is necessary to focus on the problem of unwanted pregnancy and sexual diseases. Do not try to postpone this conversation for later, otherwise it may be too late.
