When in doubt ask. Not all parents will avoid the subject of sex. Sounds like your parents are embarrassed to talk about sex. Which is to bad. Talking about sex is just another part of raising your children. And guiding them down the right path. God Bless You! another mom that cares

Parents having " The Sex talk " with their Kids
is needed, but It's like a Myth, or an Ideal that
should have happened.
I don't know of anyone who had the " Talk " with
their Parents. The pregnancy's happen though.
Didn't they go over any of the " mentioned " when you
were in School? It could help being more in the known.

In a nut shell... You're always gonna be their little girl, and it's hard to let go & let your babies grow up. They don't want to picture you having sex -- especially sex as perverse as they're accustomed to! I'm 52, and my daughter's 26. When she was younger, she was embarassed to tell me when she needed tampons (she went to her step-mother instead). So the fact that you want to communicate about sex is a sure sign of maturity (some kids don't want to picture their parents having sex -- I didn't!). For info about HIV & other STD's, the medical media is a good source. Regarding pregnancy issues, talk to your mother and/or doctor. Go to a spiritual advisor about issues of sexual orientation. And for your own good, get your answers BEFORE it becomes an "emergency" situation! Talk to your parents. They'll most likely be flattered that you respect their opinions.

I guess it's because they feel uncomfortable about the subject. I think it's also hard for them to admit their "child" has grown up & needs to know about those things. Also, I don't know if they'd know where to begin. I also think they assume you'll find out somehow, some way. Also, don't most schools teach sex education to an extent? I think tho it's mainly out of embarrasement.

A lot of parents think that if you don't mention it, you don't have to worry about it. It's obviously not right.
It's uncomfortable for a lot of parents because sex is considered to be such a personal thing for most people.

cause its not something your parents want to think about. Even when you're 20, you're only 5 years old to them, and sex is the last thing they want to talk about. some parents are different, but yours sound like mine, way old fashioned.

i guess because it is uncomfortable but its not the right thing to do you should be totally open with your kids

will you open the topic with your children?
