Patching Conversational Gaps

July 5, 2010

My sisters and I learned about sexual anatomy at the dinner table, with our dad drawing rough sketches on a dinner napkin. As you might guess, our conversations were wide-ranging and more open about sexuality than many family’s table talk.  Even so, there were some things that didn’t get mentioned, probably because no parents can predict every question or concern their kids might have.

  • What sexuality questions do you wish your parents had answered, even if you never felt comfortable asking?
  • What topics unrelated to sexuality would have have liked to discuss openly?
  • If you are a parent or can imagine yourself being one, what issues would you like to discuss with your child(ren)?
  • What gets in the way of asking questions or bringing up topics for discussion?

Please post your answers in the comments section or email me directly.  Thanks!
