Read Me: A Parental Primer for “The Talk”
I have a great appreciation for her direct and humorous approach, which humanizes the experience and reminds us not to take ourselves so seriously. Her Five Building Blocks to a Healthy Sexuality take the shame, scariness, and secrecy out of talking about sex. Her approach also takes the stigmas and misconceptions youth and adults alike may have about sex and replace it with healthy views that they can take with them into as part of their sexual evolution without shame and with self-empowerment for building healthy sexual relationships.
