I think it is really wise that you two are communicating so carefully about sex before having it, and that you are both focused on feeling comfortable so that you can enjoy your experience together. Your Healthcare Provider The best place to go for information related to birth control options is your healthcare provider as he or she make recommendations based not only on your preferences for birth control but also on any personal health issues. If you are a college student, your campus health clinic will likely have a womenrsquo;s health or gynecology clinic and you may be able to start there, if you donrsquo;t already have a healthcare provider. Planned Parenthoodrsquo;s web site can also be used to find a healthcare provider in your area. Planned Parenthood Ahead of time, you can learn basic information about contraceptive options on the Planned Parenthood web site. They have comprehensive information available related to various types of birth control such as the male condom, female condom, natural family planning, birth control pills, the birth control ring, the shot, and more. You can also learn some of this information elsewhere on our web site (especially in our sexual health resource pages), as well as detailed information about many sexuality issues relating to communication, making sex comfortable, negotiating condom use, dealing with differences in desire and more. Recommended Reading In addition, the book Our Bodies, Ourselves by the Boston Womenrsquo;s Health Book Collection provides a comprehensive overview of sexual health issues and is worth reading for both women and men. The Guide to Getting It On also provides some information on a range of sexuality topics for both sexes, and regardless of experience level.

This is a common dilemma that many parents face, and itrsquo;s tricky ndash; after all, many parents never received accurate sex education themselves when they were growing up, and that can make it feel confusing about how to provide reliable information to their children, who they want all the best things in the world for. We Know More Than We Used To Add to that the fact that things have changed since parents were growing up. Sure, the basics are still the same in terms of how girls and boys bodies are different, but we know more about bodies and sex than we used to, and parents may find themselves having to learn new information so that they can talk to their children. Children become curious about sexuality at different ages ndash; some ask questions about body parts and how babies are made when they are very young, maybe three or four, and other children may not become interested in these topics until they are somewhat older. So parents have a few things to balance, including their childrsquo;s interest and readiness to learn, as well what information parents think their children absolutely need. Age And Developmentally Appropriate Sex educators tend to stress teaching children and teenagers about topics that are both age and developmentally appropriate. When they are very young, sexuality education is more focused on teaching children accurate names for their body parts, and then when they are a little older, teaching them the difference between good touches and bad touches, and adults who they can trust to touch or talk to about their bodies. Parents sometimes talk to their children about how babies are made when children are around ages 4, 5 or 6, but families vary ndash; some children get this talk at younger or older ages than others. Sometimes parents wait to share this information until children ask, and other times parents feel that they want to let their children hear the information directly from them ndash; rather than perhaps hear an incorrect version on the playground. Choosing what to tell your children about sexuality and bodies ndash; and when ndash; is something that can cause anxiety and confusion among parents, as they attempt to bridge each of their own personal, cultural or family values with accurate and appropriate information. Sex Education Resources For Parents Fortunately, there are several resources available to parents including the book From Diapers to Dating: A Parentrsquo;s Guide to Raising Sexually Healthy Children from Infancy to Middle School, by Dr. Debra Haffner, and the Families are Talking newsletters, available through the web site of the Sexuality Information and Education Network of the United States.
