Humans are innately sexual beings, so why do we have such a hard
time talking about sex?
We must shift our attitudes surrounding sexuality and sexual
safety toward empowerment to make decisions and take action to
ensure sexual safety of individuals, families and communities.
Author Anjella Skerritt, a registered nurse, midwife, and family
nurse practitioner who has worked extensively in sexual and
reproductive health, offers this guide to help start the
discussion.
Parents are reluctant to talk honestly and openly about sex with
their children; sexually active adults are reluctant to communicate
honestly about their sexual history; and teens and adolescents pay
the price imposed by this pervasive culture of shame, anxiety, and
secrecy. It's time to peel away the embarrassment and start a new
conversation.
By learning to talk honestly and openly about sex, you gain
power over your life as a sexual being, and you give power to your
children's future sexual safety and happiness. Sex and sexuality
are intensely private matters, but there shouldn't be secrets
between lovers, and there shouldn't be shame when a parent
discusses sex with his or her children.
Information is power; in "Free to Be Sexually Safe," you'll find
the tools to start conversations about anatomy, safety, myths and
taboos, urban legends, religion, and more. Sex is a natural,
healthy part of life. By accepting the challenge to change the way
you think and talk about sex, by taking full responsibility for
your decisions and actions, and by extending respect to-and
expecting respect from-your partners, you can change or save
lives.
