Kim Kardashian teaches kids about sex


Researchers have learned that 98% of parents would like to educate their children about sex but are worried that they are learning from other places, such as pop cultural followings such as Kim Kardashian and the likes of "The Jersey Shore".


The Center for Advancing Health says that most parents believe their kids get the bulk of their information about sex from the media and popular culture (60 percent) or from friends (78 percent).

"Youth indicate that parents are a primary source of sex information for them and that parents most influence their decisions about sex," study co-author Debra Bernat of Florida State University says in a news release.

Researchers interviewed 1,605 parents of school-aged children in Minnesota. The data raises the question "of why youth cannot get the information that they seek -- and prefer -- from their own parents," Nancy Irwin, a Los Angeles clinical psychologist and cognitive behavioral specialist who focuses on childhood and adolescent sexuality, says in the release.

"This should be a wake-up call to parents. You and your kids want the exact same thing. What's missing are the proper tools," she adds


Parents rest asure, while your worried about HOW to get the conversation started it seems like they know alot more then you think. A healthy way of getting the conversation started is by sitting in on what they're viewing. It makes for a great transition.
