The Trouble with Sex
Girls, Boys & Sex
Show Notes

Join Dr. Tammy and the acclaimed Ted Talk speaker/author of Girls & Sex and Boys & Sex, Peggy Orenstein, as they discuss how, as parents, educators and role models, we often fall short when teaching our kids about intimacy, sex, consent, reciprocal pleasure and the power discrepancies that are still perpetuated in our culture. What do teenagers today think about sex? How do we teach them open communication when we ourselves are not very good at it? And why is silence the biggest negative teacher of all?
