  3. I'm 14 & iv'e never really had the sex talk with my parents, but thinking about it i suppose it isn't really needed. Sex has always been something that's openly discussed in our house. I do believe its true that kids are less likely to go out and make all the daft mistakes if there open about sex with there parents.
