Summary

Send us a text We all want to raise kids without sexual hang-ups, but a lot of Christian parents are accidentally creating the very problems they're trying to avoid. Rebecca and I dive into the three biggest ways this happens: being way too open about your own sex life with your kids (no, they don't need to know what you and your husband did last night), making a federal case out of normal teenage sexual development like masturbation, and approaching pornography with so much shame and "sin ta...

How might you be giving your kids sexual hangups without realizing it?

0:15.8

I'm Sheila Ray Gregor from Fair Marriage.com, where we like to talk about healthy evidence-based

0:19.9

biblical device for your sex life and your marriage.

0:22.0

And I am joined today by one of my kids.

0:24.1

Rebecca Lyndonbach.

0:25.1

That's me.

And this is a really fun week on bear marriage.

We do this every year where we have a big sale and we talk up our course, the whole story for parents, talk to their kids about sex and puberty. And, you know,

0:38.6

I'm constantly getting messages on social media saying, Sheila, I'm really looking to talk to my kid about sex. And I found this curriculum from Focus on the Family. Do you think it's any good? And I'm like, we have one. We have one. Just get ours. But a lot of you guys didn't know. And so, you know, please, if you only follow on the podcast, you may miss some of this. So make sure you're on our email list on our social media channels. We have those links below. But we do want to talk about how we might do stuff to give our kids sexual hangups. So we were literally trying to figure out what to talk about this podcast, what to title it. And we were like, should we do like how to not give your kids sexual hangups? And I was like, we can't guarantee that. We can't. Let's just talk about the ways that parents might accidentally be doing it instead. Yes. So Beck and I are going to talk about this for a couple minutes.

makes you happier. So that's coming up. But first, how might you give your kids sexual hangups,

1:35.8

1:47.2

of the room, as always, is that we are a mother-daughter duo who talks about sex and

1:52.1

researches sex and writes about sex for a living.

1:54.5

Yes.

1:54.7

Like that is weird.

1:56.5

That is not normal.

1:58.2

Yeah.

1:58.3

And people when they hear that have one of two reactions. It's either like,

2:02.1

oh my gosh, that's so fun. Ha ha. Or, oh my gosh, I could never. And it's like, I very

2:08.0

rarely get an in between. It's either like, like, yeah, obviously, that's fun. I talk to my

2:12.6

mom about sex all the time. Or it's, I think I would spontaneously combust. And the funny thing is, I'm the one in the

2:19.1

middle. Yeah. Which is so funny because we talk about sex in general constantly. Yes. We,
