Let’s talk about… TALKING about sex. It’s not a bad word; sex is a basic, biological, primal, pleasurable experience and everyone should be able to talk about it so that we can create healthy boundaries around sex and enjoy it more. Educating yourself about sex, talking to your kids about sex, communicating your needs with your partner, and even porn -- nothing is taboo, we’re talking about it all.
