These programs create expectations of parents that are completely unrealistic and not to mention unfair to children. It's unfair to children because they can't openly ask questions of their parents because they're used to thinking that sex is wrong and shouldn't be curious about it. I find it valuable because it makes me realize that my parents never had sexual conversations with me or answered any of my questions, they just said 'you shouldn't do that', 'you're too young to worry about this'”. They thought that after work was done and they became parents of the year, they assumed that I had been taught the importance of abstinence, so I didn't need to know anything else about sex. That section of the book made me realize how important it is for parents to be open about talking about sex where there are children, and as painful as it is for parents to think about it, they should never assume that their children are not sexually active. Parents should “talk” to their children regardless
