Summary
As a bioethicist focusing in women’s health and integrated sex education, I am especially passionate about equipping parents to have hard—but necessary—conversations with their children. One of the most important topics to consider? S*x, pornography, and the ways that our children might be exposed to things that they are not yet prepared to understand. As the primary educators and greatest experts of their children, parents are the best resource in helping young men and women to understand that the human body has a great purpose and is most closely connected to the most important of values: human love. S*x does not need to be considered apart from love, unless we choose to do so. Using data on devices, accurate biological information and terms, and the sturdy foundation that Christian anthropology provides for us, I offer this presentation as a way to encourage and equip parents in how they can best show up for their children and protect their little ones’ freedom to love, both now and in the future. (“Talking to Your Children About S*x” was originally delivered and recorded on March 25, 2026 to parents at a grammar school in New Orleans, LA.)
