The idea is to establish ourselves as our children's primary and trustworthy source, as well as to demystify their curiousity that will own grow if left unspoken about.
Furthermore, research shows first exposure to pornography happening at earlier and In the conversation Megan also addresses the fear many parents have surrounding the topic of sex because of their own sexual past.
