Last issue, a Pilipino Express reader named Karina had a big question. She wanted to know how parents can talk to children about sex and sexuality.

Dear Karina,

Many parents find it very difficult to “open their mouths” and talk to their children about sex and sexuality because they feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. Also, many don’t know how to start this conversation with their children. Most parents have no role model – their parents never talked to them about sex and sexuality when they were growing up!
