This funny oral sex video may just be a humorous public service announcement about condom use, but we think it says something more about being a good role model. Parents sometimes forget that our world’s younger generation is learning faster than any generation before, and they are well aware that sex is the reason for their being. Knowing that, parents should take a different approach to dealing with adolescent sexual activity. Yes, the risks of teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are very real. Although, these facts do not mean making all sexuality “off limits” is an effective solution when communicating with young adults.
Sex is a very personal subject with individuals of every age group, and can be difficult to approach in open conversation. This human response is magnified for a young adult, because their maturity levels simply can not keep up with their increases in hormones. This biological fact creates every horrifying possibility parents believe to be the reasons for abstinence. Thus, we ask parents to try a more understanding approach to the subject. Having open communication with your young adult can be a great defense against the dangers of sexual activity. If you want them to be honest with you, you must be understanding. Would you not expect the same from any fellow adult?
