In PBSE Episode 280, Mark & Steve address the complex challenge faced by betrayed partners—especially those healing from porn or sex addiction in their relationships—who want to guide their teenage children toward healthy sexuality. It begins by acknowledging the emotional burden and conflict many betrayed partners feel, especially when trying to teach their children something they themselves are still struggling to reclaim. Drawing from a listener's heartfelt question, the hosts emphasize that children are already receiving sexual messaging from the world around them, making it crucial that parents step up to provide a healthy, grounded counter-narrative rooted in respect, consent, and emotional connection.The article challenges the outdated concept of “the talk” by promoting a new paradigm: sexuality should be an ongoing, evolving, and age-appropriate conversation that unfolds over years, not moments. Parents are encouraged to reflect on their own stories, recognize internal shame or awkwardness, and ensure that their emotional energy during these talks doesn't unintentionally pass discomfort or judgment onto their children. The authors stress that kids are emotional sponges, and how parents talk about sex—more than just what they say—deeply influences how their children feel about their own bodies, desires, and relationships. This is why intentionality and preparation matter more than perfection.Practical tools and resources are also discussed, such as those from Fight the New Drug, Defend Young Minds, and Covenant Eyes. The article affirms that even when a co-parent is absent or unsafe to engage in these conversations, there are still ways to ensure kids have positive, trustworthy influences. By speaking truthfully, embracing healthy sexual values, and modeling openness, betrayed partners can break generational cycles of secrecy, shame, and dysfunction. Each conversation—no matter how imperfect—is a step toward a legacy of empowerment, honesty, and loving connection.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: As a Betrayed Partner, How do I Talk to my Teenage Kids About Healthy Sexuality?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at: Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at: Reclaim Counseling Services
When one of our kids came home from school and announced that he learned on the school playground where babies come from, I asked him what he had learned and from who. Not surprisingly, what he had learned didn't even come close to the truth, so it afforded us an opportunity to tell him the truth about God's good design for sexuality. Parents, here are three essential elements to good and Godly teaching on sex if we want to lead them in the right direction. First, we must teach God's creational design. We go to the Bible to look at Genesis one and two, the teachings of Jesus, and what the rest of the Bible teaches on sex. Second, we must teach God's design continually. It's not just one talk, but the talking. Culture is talking at them twenty-four seven, and typically leads them astray. We need to talk with regularity. And finally, we must take advantage of cultural prompts. When we see or hear a message on sex, talk about it with your kids, offering the biblical corrective.
Okay parents- TALKING TO KIDS ABOUT SEX can surely give some us the heeby jeebies! Let's take all the advice we can get on the matter- and the first being that these anatomy/consent/touch conversations should happen much sooner than most people think. In this episode I chat with Dr. Lisa Paz, who holds a Doctorate in Clinical Sexology and is a Board Certified Sex Therapist and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She is also a mom of 3 boys. She guides us so nicely on the how-to's in what can feel like such a tricky area for many. We also touch on intimacy after kids, but will have an entire other episode dedicated to this in the near future! Dr. Paz has an online course on talking to kids about sex. Lisa Abbie Paz, LMFT, PhD www.DrLisaPaz.com Let's dive in.
There are several important conversations we desperately need to talk about, but we somehow avoid talking about them.As parents, we have an obligation to talk about certain things to our kids because it's important that they hear some of these things from us rather than from their friends or from the internet.As hard as these conversations are, we must have them to prepare and equip our kids to handle life. If you encourage honest and open communication early on, you create a great foundation to talk about hard topics.In this episode, Eddie and I outline the 6 topics that most people avoid talking about and give you some tips on how to approach them.

Why is pleasure a buried treasure for too many of us? I envy those who have it sorted and are very in touch with this aspect of themselves - sensuality and sexuality. For those where this feels a less natural aspect to our being we fumble on, still in search of the holy grail. Not just for us, but also for how we relate to our children on the important topics of sex. How do we begin to prepare ourselves and know how we hope to parent our kids with respect to sexuality? Especially where we endeavour to change the narrative from one of shame to one of acceptance.

Family Confidential: Secrets of Successful Parenting with Annie Fox, M.Ed.
Amy Lang was a sexuality educator throughout her 20's and 30's, who "loved talking to people about sex." But when her four-year-old son made a comment about his penis, she froze. She was so surprised at how uncomfortable she was that she had a eureka moment. "I'm going to have to figure out how to help other parents, and myself, talk to their kids about sexuality." Annie talks with Amy about where that parental discomfort comes from and how we can get past it to empower our kids with the information they need to feel good about themselves and make good choices. About Amy Lang (@birdsandbees) Amy Lang, M.Ed., is a sexuality educator who teaches parents of all beliefs how to have easy, open, and effective conversations with our kids about sexuality, love, and relationships. She founded BirdsAndBeesAndKids.com in 2005. Through that site she's helped thousands of parents "kick-ass when it comes to the sex talks." She's also helped hundreds of professionals who work with children to keep the kids in their care safer from sexual abuse through keynotes and trainings about sexual behavior and development.
