Sex talk for beginners
Sex talk for beginners
ELEVEN-year-olds should be taught about sexually transmitted infections, a Government backed report has suggested.
Teachers should give lessons on different methods of contraception to reduce the teen pregnancy rate and family doctors must deliver better sexual health care.
The recommendations come in a report commissioned by the Department of Health which warned that the scale and nature of sexual ill-health in Englands is of "grave concern".
It follows an early study which advised parents to use steamy sex scenes from popular soaps - like Mischa Barton's lesbian kiss in OC - to break the ice when talking about sex with their chidren.
Studies have shown that good sex education reduces teen pregnancies and risky behaviour, but many parents are embarrassed, or uncertain what to say.
Honesty - and simplicity - is the best policy, according to David Kesterton of the Family Planning Association.
Here are a few golden rules and our age-by-age guide to sex education.
START EARLY
PARENTS are often uncertain about talking to pre-school children about sex and relationships, but kids do ask questions from a very early age.
Answer questions in an age-appropriate way. It will be much easier when they are older and asking more detailed questions.
BE HONEST
DON'T talk about birds and bees, the stork or finding babies in cabbage patches.
It might save your blushes for now but in the long run you could lose your child's trust.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
YOUNG children in particular don't want lots of detail. Give brief and simple answers and their next question will probably be: "Can I have a sweet?"
HAVE A DELAY PHRASE
IF you are stuck for words, say something like: "That's a good question, we'll talk about that when we get home."
And make sure you do.
IT'S NOT JUST BIOLOGY
SEX education often focuses on the mechanics of reproduction rather than the emotions.
Don't be afraid to give kids guidelines such as: "I think it's better to wait until you meet someone really special."
BE PREPARED
BEFORE you start discussing sex with your kids, think about the words you are comfortable using.
You may find using formal language such as vagina and penis easier than fanny or willy.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK
SEX education is not brilliant now but it was even worse when a lot of today's parents were growing up.
Check out the sex education books at your local library.
The Family Planning Association runs Speakeasy courses designed to help parents.
SEX ISN'T A DIRTY WORD
IF you are embarrassed, try not to show it - it will only rub off on the kids.
Sex is not "dirty" and it is important to stress that it is a normal part of human behaviour.
If you are really worried, get some good sex education books and leave them around the house.
USE EVERYDAY SITUATIONS
BE prepared to start a conversation about sex and relationships.
Some kids won't ask questions but neighbourhood events or TV soap storylines can provide an opportunity to raise the subject.
IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL
DON'T sit children down for a "serious" sex talk - it will probably make you both feel awkward.
It is often easier to talk while you are doing something else such as the dishes, flying a kite or walking home from school.
UNDER FIVES
CHILDREN develop differently so don't worry if your child doesn't ask these questions -or comes up with others.
Where do babies come from?
Mummy's tummy.
How does the baby get in?
Daddy has the seed and puts it inside Mummy. Then the baby grows inside her.
Can men have babies?
No, but Mummy's egg needs Daddy's seed.
Why is my willy standing up?
They do that sometimes, it's nothing to worry about.
Why don't girls have a penis?
Girls have a vagina instead.
A good book is Mummy Laid An Egg, by Babette Cole, Pounds 5.99.
FIVE TO NINE
WHERE does Daddy keep his seeds?
He keeps them in the little bags under his penis. They're sometimes called the balls but the correct name is the testicles.
How does the seed get into Mummy?
When Daddy's penis goes hard he can put it into Mummy's vagina. Then his seed can come out and meet one of Mummy's eggs. Then it can begin growing into a baby.
Mummy, why do you have to buy those boxes of tampons or towels every month?
When girls are more grown-up their body produces a little bit of blood every month. This is normal and natural -we call it a period. The tampons or towels are just so it doesn't make a mess.
Where does the baby come out?
It comes out from between Mummy's legs, from the front hole which is called the vagina. It stretches to let the baby out.
What does being gay mean?
It means when two men or two women fall in love and want to be together.
A good book for primary school children to read is Let's Talk About Where Babies Come From, by Robie Harris, published by Walker Books, Pounds 8.99.
NINE TO TEENS
CAN I get pregnant first time?
Yes! A woman's fertility varies throughout the month but there's no time when it is not possible to get pregnant - even during her period.
Having sex standing up or washing thoroughly after sex won't prevent pregnancy either.
Will masturbation cause me any harm?
No. From puberty onwards it's normal for girls and boys to masturbate. It's one of the ways we learn more about how our bodies work. It's something we do in private and on our own.
What's a blow job?
Sometimes men and women enjoy licking or sucking each other's genitals as a way of giving pleasure to their partner. Some people like it, others don't. You can still catch some sexually transmitted infections in this way.
Why do I have a sticky patch on my sheets in the morning?
Boys going through puberty often have what are called wet dreams. This is completely normal. It is basically an overflow of semen. It's nothing to feel embarrassed about.
When is it OK to start having sex?
The age of consent for sexual intercourse is 16 but some people start earlier and some start much later.
What is important is that you feel comfortable and not under pressure in any way.
It doesn't matter what your friends say or do, it is OK to say no. It is what you want that is important.
A lot of boys and girls who have sex at a young age later regret it. Sex is something special and it should be treated that way.
Why are my boobs/penis smaller than other kids in the class?
We are all different and we all develop at different rates. The changes that take place at puberty begin much earlier in some children than others.
Some children don't begin to change until about 14.
Even when we are adults we are all different -that is what makes us interesting.

Young Achievers:
Young Achievers:
Aaron Sohacki
Like a lot of kids, Aaron Sohacki’s dad took him to watch airplanes take off and land at the airport. Like some kids, his love for watching planes turned into a love of flying, and he got his pilot’s license before his driver’s license. Uniquely, his love for flying turned into a passion for running a business that flies other people.
When Sohacki was 20, he started ImagineAir. It’s a regional company that lets regular folks fly privately. Along the way, he has flown some not-so-regular people like one of his first clients, the former mayor of Augusta, Georgia, who needed to fly to have dinner with Rudy Giuliani.
The charter service takes people 300-500 miles from the headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. Considered a new version of a taxi service, the “air taxi” often costs less than commercial travel. Now age 24, the CEO still flies customers and often gets asked, “Are you even old enough to fly this plane?”
Genevieve Thiers
Genevieve Thiers was the oldest of seven kids, which meant she started baby-sitting almost as soon as she was born. But all the diapers, Friday nights in and lousy tips eventually paid off with millions.
In college, Thiers saw a pregnant woman posting fliers around campus for a baby-sitter. It was cheaper than going through an agency, which could cost in the thousands of dollars. After meeting her future husband online, Thiers thought that there had to be a better way. So she started sittercity.com, her real-life version of the “Baby-sitters Club” of young adult fiction.
The site launched in 2001 and has grown beyond connecting parents and sitters to bring together people in search of elder care and pet care with the caregivers of their choice. And now, at 29, Thiers gets to go out on Friday nights!
Blake Taylor
Yes, he set fire to the dinner table with contact lens solution. Yes, he stayed in on the weekends because he had no friends. Yes, he had to clean the urinals as punishment for acting out in class. But Blake Taylor is done being punished and finally ready to proudly say to the world, “Yes, I have ADHD.”
According to the CDC, 4.7 million Americans 18 or under have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Now 18, Taylor is the youngest person to write a memoir about living with it. He says his book, “ADHD & Me,” is the guidebook he never had growing up – a way to deal with the daily struggles from someone who has actually been there and not just studied the disorder.
Taylor is now a freshman molecular biology major at the University of California, Berkeley, where his book is used in the curriculum. Professors tout it because it’s the first time academia and the general public can see the once-taboo disorder being tackled with candor, since diagnosis only really started to spike in the 1990s. Through anecdotes about taking tests and dealing with tics, Taylor aims to tackle the often-stigmatized side effects of the disorder, which if left untreated, he says, only worsen when someone gets older. “You wouldn’t want to set fire to a table ever, but especially not when you’re 30, right?”
Jason Rae
Not too many kids tell their parents who to vote for when they are 5 years old or ask their fourth-grade teacher to watch the presidential inauguration. But what would you expect from a 21-year-old superdelegate?
Jason Rae went from being a U.S. Senate page to the youngest elected representative of the Democratic National Committee while he was in high school. He actually couldn’t vote when he was first elected because he was six months shy of 18. But he wanted to represent what he calls “America’s next generation.” So, he and his friends hand-painted posters with the slogan “A ray of hope for the future.” It worked.
What about his future? Rae says, “I remember back in kindergarten saying I wanted to run for president, but I’ll settle for an elected office.” These days he is relishing the fact he’s being wooed by both sides for his coveted vote in the close Democratic race for the 2008 presidential nomination — dining with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, meeting with Sen. Barack Obama and chatting with the highest-profile politicians from across the country.
How will he vote? He hasn’t said, but we’ll try to get it out of him.
Stephanie Mockler
In real life, her first car was a Volkswagen bug when she was 16. In her racing life, Stephanie Mockler was driving quarter midget cars, tiny racecars that children can drive, at the age of 6. Now at 20, she is a record-setting driver.
Mockler became the first female to win a USAC Ford Focus Midget Series when she finished at the Indianapolis Speedrome. She is also the eighth woman in the United States Auto Club’s history to win a feature race. And she is the youngest female to ever win a USAC main event.
She gets the whole “Danica Patrick” thing a lot. Patrick is a 25-year-old Indy Racing League driver. Mockler is quick to point out that not all racing is the same and that she hopes to take the NASCAR track. But one thing between them is the same, “When you put on the helmet, you’re just another racer.”

But he wanted to represent what he calls “America’s next generation.” So, he and his friends hand-painted posters with the slogan “A ray of hope for the future.” It worked.
What about his future? Rae says, “I remember back in kindergarten saying I wanted to run for president, but I’ll settle for an elected office.” These days he is relishing the fact he’s being wooed by both sides for his coveted vote in the close Democratic race for the 2008 presidential nomination — dining with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, meeting with Sen. Barack Obama and chatting with the highest-profile politicians from across the country.
How will he vote? He hasn’t said, but we’ll try to get it out of him.
Stephanie Mockler
In real life, her first car was a Volkswagen bug when she was 16. In her racing life, Stephanie Mockler was driving quarter midget cars, tiny racecars that children can drive, at the age of 6. Now at 20, she is a record-setting driver.
Mockler became the first female to win a USAC Ford Focus Midget Series when she finished at the Indianapolis Speedrome. She is also the eighth woman in the United States Auto Club’s history to win a feature race. And she is the youngest female to ever win a USAC main event.
She gets the whole “Danica Patrick” thing a lot. Patrick is a 25-year-old Indy Racing League driver. Mockler is quick to point out that not all racing is the same and that she hopes to take the NASCAR track. But one thing between them is the same, “When you put on the helmet, you’re just another racer.”
