FHE-Lesson-Sexual-IntimacyThe Church has published a new family home evening lesson to help parents teach their children about sexual intimacy.

Many parents avoid addressing the topic of sexual relations and sexuality with their children. Some parents incorrectly assume that talking about sex will encourage their children to act out sexually or that their children are too young to have questions. Many did not talk openly about these topics with their own parents and feel uncomfortable talking about them in their families. They may also feel ill-qualified to teach about something they are currently struggling with.

Whatever your hesitations or fears, it is vital that you discuss sexual intimacy with your children early, and on an ongoing basis. Children and teenagers are regularly bombarded with damaging ideas about sex, and you have the opportunity to help them create a positive, gospel-driven understanding of sexual intimacy.

See the family home evening lesson “Sexual Intimacy Is Sacred and Beautiful.”

Last November, the Church published a series of lessons about pornography to help parents equip children with skills to respond appropriately when they see pornography.
