A combination of Abstinence and Safe sex. We can't simply rely on schools to teach our kids about sex...my parents avoided the issue and just assumed I would learn from school...I actually found out what really went on from accidently turning on a porn that was left in my VCR...so I think i woulda rather had my parents talk to me about it.

From the standpoint of biology. Teach them the basics about procreation and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases and the benefits of waiting until marriage to engage in sex. All of these things have science to back them up. Going beyond that one enters into the realm of injecting personal views of morality and of pandering to special interest groups.

When they're young, answer their questions but don't go into detail, it will be over their heads. If they ask where babies come from, say the grow in the mommy. Keep it simple. By not putting their questions off, they will learn to come to you for advise later.

Teach girls to dress respectfully. Parents need to help their daughters understand, before they reach age 12 (puberty), that spaghetti-strap tops and skimpy shorts are “turn-ons” to boys. While dress never justifies sexual assault, part of being “abuse-proof” means dressing wisely. Many attractive styles are not a “turn-on.” Wise parents will start early and help their girls dress in cute but not scanty clothes.
Teach girls to be kind, considerate, friendly and fun without being seductive. And when your daughter starts dating, she needs a cell phone or pager in case she needs rescuing!
Teach your sons that they are responsible to protect others, not to exploit them. They are never to push a girl to do sexual things with them. Before they reach puberty, boys need to know that they will be tempted to explore adult ideas and behaviors in the sexual arena, but they must overcome such temptations.
To discourage your children from trying to act sexy in order to be liked, point out to them how many kids of the opposite sex pay attention to and flirt with them when they are just being themselves. This will help build their self-esteem.
Teach your children how to recognize and refuse a date’s attempts to use them for selfish gratification, which is blatant sexual abuse by peers. Kids must be taught about the incredibly powerful sexual drive that explodes when petting goes too far.
Keep open the doors of communication about sexual issues. When you feel uneasy about discussions or certain questions your children ask, say so. It’s okay to say, “I’m not sure I know the answer to that. I’ll look it up and get back to you.” Then do that. If your children are too young to understand or cope with certain in-depth concepts, it’s okay to say, “That’s as complicated as Greek! Give me time to think about the answer.” Just be sure you always get back to them.
Teach your kids to wait until marriage for sexual intercourse.
Teach them that in the marriage union, sex is a wonderful pleasure. Most of us who teach this idea are ridiculed, but experience over time verifies that medically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually, postponing sex until after marriage is wise.

Let them in on what you do and do it right. A child needs a role model, and every one needs someone to look up to.
