Talking Sex

Talking Sex

            If you have a children, the day will come that you will have to approach that subject, whether you like it or not. If you ignore it, there is a possibility that in nine months later the situation may not be something you would like. Talking to our children about sex is very important, but not easy, especially if your parents did not speak to you about sex. If your parents did not speak to you about sex, then you don’t know where to start or what to say.

            If you have any kind of relationship with your child, then it should not be so difficult, awkward yes, but difficult, no.

            Explain that along with sex comes a lot of responsibility, not only the responsibility of making sure the girl does not get pregnant, but making sure the chances of getting a sexually transmitted disease (STD) is very slim. One way to avoid these issues is using condoms, not that they are one hundred percent effective, but it is better than no protection at all. Trying to impress the kids to prolong becoming sexually active is very important; it avoids unwanted pregnancies as well as STD’s that are out there. Many people don’t even know they have a sexually transmitted disease until it is too late, and some are and can be life threatening.

            Thirty years ago, young couples worried about syphilis or gonorrhea, which required a round of antibiotics. Then as time when on, cold sores and herpes made their presences known, and worse was when it was diagnosed as genital herpes. This did not kill, but is would be very uncomfortable and you sex partner was now at risk of getting herpes, which is a life long problem. Herpes is virus that goes dormant within you body, and when the immune system becomes compromised or weakened, the person is prone to have an outbreak.

            These sexually transmitted diseased are still around, but what has made matters worse is now there is the fear of AIDS, while many can live with this, and there is medication to help strengthen an individual and his immune system; it can still be a life sentence. A person does not die from “AIDS” but from some other ailment, due to the immune system deficiency, usually affecting the kidneys, or liver. Most AIDS patients actually die form pneumonia, which starts as the common cold, continues to a cough, and it just doesn’t improve.

            Telling out children the facts, holding nothing back is the best way to inform them about sex, and the diseases. Suggesting they hold off having sex until they are older and more responseable; or even married being the best choice.

            Its won’t be easy since we don’t know how or where to start, but it better to do it and get it over with, than some unforeseen situation arising.
