An innovative, successful, and ethical approach to sex education for parents and teenagers that rejects conventional educational paradigms and instead embraces the reality of the twenty-first century by encouraging positive body image, values, and healthy sexuality in young people. Today's sexual education often falls into one of two categories: abstinence-only or abstinence-based education. Both of these approaches frequently exclude crucial information and leave young people ill-prepared to make wise choices. The development of healthy sexuality can only come from a sex-positive, affirming perspective. Sexuality is a natural element of life. Young people seek information about sex from peers, the Internet, and the media out of curiosity but also out of a fear of being judged. However, these sources often convey negative messages about sex, such as that boys are studs and girls are sluts, real sex should resemble porn, and hookups are preferable to relationships. Teenagers are dangerously ill-equipped intellectually and emotionally to mature and develop as sexual beings without a larger knowledge to counteract these harmful notions. Mom And I Talked gives parents the knowledge they need to interact with children and assist them in forming wholesome values and responsible practices.
