Just start talking about. It can be in the car or when y'all have free time. Don't be shy on the subject. Just be straight about it.

There are plenty of good books and resources about this. Talk to a school counselor about it. I do not know the ages of your kids but mine is nine and after having watched the Animal Planet Channel started asking a lot of questions. I was direct and answered truthfully. If your kids cannot come to you for information someone else will wisen them up, and not always with a good purpose in mind. Be open and honest, and let your kids know where you stand, because that will be the standard by which they will measure further information about this topic.

My mom started off early like when I was 5. I'm not saying she talked about sex, but she talked about how love really is the most important thing in life.
I guess only lately does has she actually talked to me just because I can drive now and stuff. I realize that she has raised me very well and she doesn't talk much about it because she knows I wouldn't have unsafe sex anyways.
I have actually realized that the ideas my of how important love is that my mom talked about is what helped the most because I know that sex isn't about sex, sex is about love.

They will start hinting at questions -- always answer their question, no need to expand/elaborate -- just their question at the moment. When the time is right, you will know. When my son was about 10, his friend 'watched' his parents the night before (guess their lock did not work) and came to school and told everyone. Well, when we got home, he wanted to 'talk', so I sat down with him (I had just poured myself a glass of wine - thank God!!) and he just blurted out "When I grow up, do I really have to stick it in a girl?". I downed the wine, took a breathh and started by saying "You will never have to do anything you don't want, but someday it will appeal to you" -- to that I got an ewww, so I did not expand too much until later on. Good Luck!!!

Just don't get embarrassed about it...it is a beautiful thing that I wish my parents told me about before I started...My wife's mother taught her about it very early in her life and it was constantly an issue in her house...She explained how everything works and why people do it...she even had displays and sexual toys to help explain...she taught her two girls about safe sex and even explained how to put a condom on and without it...there is no nookie...because of her mothers teachings, sex is a beautiful thing and should be shared with the person you love...THANKS MOM!!!

how old are your children? Mine started to ask questions at about 3-4 years old, and my son who is 11 still asks me lots of questions. For each of them, I answer just the question, no questions go unanswered. If you are too embarrassed to talk to your kids, then get some age-appropriate books.

It would be a good idea to break out the Sex Ed book.

Well just tell your kids that sex is grown folks' business and that AIDS is waiting for them if they mess with it.

Show them a video explaining the process and its primary objective to re-produce. Then hold a question and answer session with them afterwards.

It's never to early to start. Sit them down and tell them. Although you might want to wait if they're not past that 'eww sex!' stage.
