Amy Lang is our go-to sex ed expert.

She's a mom of a son and she's not afraid to talk frankly about sex, pornography, relationships and consent.

Our January 2021 conversation with Amy -- all about how keep boys safe online -- was so enlightening and informative that we've decided to run it again. Some gems:

“All the research shows that parents are the most important influence when it comes to sexual decision-making. If we don’t get in the door early, our impact is less. It’s really important to establish yourself as their go-to person.”

and

“I think it’s way more important to be sexually savvy and to understand healthy relationships than to score a 9000 on the PSAT.”
