Summary

How do you talk to your kids about sex? How do you talk to them about porn? Talking to boys and girls and kids of all genders and orientations requires thought, care, and cultural understanding. Join me in conversation with Peggy Orenstein, best-selling author of Boys and Sex, Girls and Sex, and more. We recommend listening to this one in private without your children in earshot.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:06.8	Welcome to Raising Good Humans. I'm Dr. Alisa Pressman and today my guest is Peggy Orinstein,
0:13.5	who's the author of The New York Times bestselling books, girls and sex, boys and sex,
0:20.8	Cinderella 8 My Daughter, and more. I wanted to have a conversation, so I've had a few episodes
0:28.7	having the sex talk. I've had a few episodes on puberty, but what I wanted to do with Peggy
0:35.9	was talk about the really in the weeds hard stuff that's just like, oh god, this makes me uncomfortable.
0:44.4	So not just sex and not just kind of setting the stage for conversations and the idea of having
0:54.6	respect, responsible and pleasurable experiences. I also wanted to talk to her about what is happening,
1:02.8	what's actually happening with teens and sex. So even if you have young kids, this conversation is
1:08.5	very relevant, but then we go into what's going on, what are the trends, what do we need to know
1:14.7	about what's going on and porn and what's going on there and how to have these conversations,
1:21.8	but also how to figure out what's going on for ourselves so that we can better navigate all of this.
1:27.3	If you enjoy this episode, please don't forget to subscribe, rate and write a review. I would suggest
1:35.6	not listening to this episode with your kids. I would suggest this one not to be something they
1:42.2	over here in the back seat of the car. This is a conversation that really dives into our own
1:48.8	experience. So have a listen and then pull from that some ideas about navigating different
1:56.2	discussions and different ways to set the tone in your household depending on your kids' ages.
2:02.4	Of course, you can always DM me on Instagram at raising good humans podcast and we'll keep these
2:07.9	conversations going. So I think it goes without saying that we're at an age where it's really hard
2:14.1	to know what is happening in the world of girls and boys and sex because we just came to be in
2:24.5	this world at a very different time. So I would love for you to help those of us raising boys and
2:32.5	girls and any children, however they identify, which is also part of the conversation.
