Talking about sex isn't just about the physical act, it includes talking about relationships, making wise decisions and being safe. I ran a girls group @ my last job and they admitted they didn't want 2 talk 2 their parents about the mechanics of sex b/c that's what they had friends for. However, they did like knowing that they could come to their parents when they needed 2 w/o feeling like they would get in trouble.
Even when they act like they don't want to "listen", continue to speak to them your kids, giving them every opportunity to have input in the conversation.
I also encourage parents to be willing to talk about behaviors that they don't agree with.
It is so easy to just ignore "taboo" topics, but if we are open to speak about them and why we don't agree, our children will be more likely to take our opinions into serious consideration.
yes-It is a natural stage of development for children to pull away from their parents and think they know it all. Experiencing this can be really hard for parents and sometimes they stop talking to their children about tough topics. I don't think a lot of parents get a warning that they will feel rejected by their children at some point and they are unprepared for how to parent their children through this stage.

My parents brought up sex once and thats it. I learned everything on my own and that was unfortunate for me.
