📝 EPISODE DESCRIPTION

There’s no “right” time for the sex talk. Just ask Dr. Becky - who ended up explaining condoms to her 5-year-old on a crowded New York City subway. Of course, it’s normal for these conversions to feel awkward - especially if you didn’t have them growing up. In today’s episode, learn how to turn tricky talks into meaningful moments of connection with scripts and strategies for sharing accurate, inclusive, and age-appropriate information about bodies, porn, sex, and more.
