I wonder, cause I never had that sex talk. I sort of just found out about age ten what it sort of was.

When I got my first period my mama told me I was a woman now and explained me how to use pads. That was it.

Would having a Sex Talk make you more comfortable with your sexual needs and identity, or more responsible in practicing safe sex?

I know I would have been embarassed to death if my parents ever talked to me about sex...

But with all these teen pregnancies and std's nowadays, perhaps parents should play a bigger role in young teens sexual explorations...
