The Sex Talk Strategy

more than «the talk» — a strategy

We put far too much faith in the famous «talk»: a single, awkward event, almost always too late. What a mother or a father needs isn't a talk — it's a strategy.

Today's sexual behavior and exposure are not what they were ten, twenty or thirty years ago — and they shift with every stage: what your daughter sees at 9 is not what your son negotiates at 14. That's why it can't be improvised, and why instinct, personality or your own experience aren't enough either: our own upbringing happened in another world. And one more thing, uncomfortable and freeing at once: whatever your family's stance — open, conservative, religious — your children's context exists all the same, and knowing it isn't giving up your values: it's giving them a strategy for living in the real world. This tool crosses the two things — your daughter's or son's real context and your family's values, whatever they are — and produces a tailored strategy: what to address, when, in what words, which songs to break the ice with and which resources to lean on. It downloads as PDF, Word, HTML or Markdown; and if you like, it saves and shares with a unique link. No names: the tool neither asks for nor processes personal data — the only names anywhere in the process are the ones the catalog's songs sing. And for the «what if they won't talk?», «what if I'm the awkward one?» and the other nine common fears: the fear questions, with their techniques.
