7 things you should tell your kids about sex

There will definitely come a time when parents must talk to their children about sex and its related issues. It is important to know that the longer you avoid it, the more likely it is that it will have negative consequences for them.

The right time to talk depends on your child’s level of development, both physically and mentally. Here are seven things experts say parents must tell their children about sex.

Premarital sex is acceptable

Having sex before marriage is no longer a big deal in today's world. It has become more normal in the open view of society.

The point is to choose the right partner wisely so that you don’t regret it later. Regret here includes regret about feelings, emotions and health effects. If you choose well, you can do what you want to enjoy life.

Respect yourself and others

Trust yourself in big choices. Ask yourself what you hope to gain, what you hope to gain by deciding to have this experience.

Must come from a mindset of self-respect, only then can we avoid mistakes due to haste, immaturity or worse… doing things because of other people's wishes.

Respecting the other person can help your child make the right choice, without regrets later. Your child will know how meaningful that decision is, it is like a big gift, an important milestone for the relationship of both.

Always use a condom

For boys, it is a matter of responsibility. You know how to have safe sex, ensure the health of both of you and avoid unfortunate consequences. Don't cause trouble if you are not responsible.

For girls, condoms not only prevent pregnancy but also prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Even if you trust your partner, sexually transmitted diseases are not entirely caused by a promiscuous lifestyle. There are many reasons your child does not know. Keep the principle of “no condoms, no sex”.

Never pressure

Once you cross the line, there is no going back to just holding hands and walking. It is a real step, almost a turning point. So don’t succumb to anyone’s pressure, and don’t “scare” yourself into making a mistake.

Identify prospective relationships

No matter how easy it is for people around you to spend the night with someone you just met, you shouldn’t do that. You need to see the potential of this relationship. “That” should only happen when both people determine that this is real love and look forward to the future. Explore sex when you are in a loving state of mind.

Just do what you want

Sex is a happy experience in life. It connects your child emotionally, makes them happy, healthy and relaxed. Sex should be enjoyed with all the pleasure and satisfaction, it should never be forced or obligatory (especially before marriage). Parents want their children to have the most enjoyable experiences and should never make them feel ashamed about sex under any circumstances.

Don't hesitate to talk to your parents.

Sex is not a taboo, especially when you are an adult. Confiding in your parents is necessary because they will give you useful advice and help you solve problems when they arise. Parents are the only ones who will not judge or have a negative view of you when they know about it. Hiding it will only harm you.
