Before we dive in: This episode includes detailed discussions of sex, porn and a brief mention of sexual assault. Please take care while listening.
You’re listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we’re tackling a topic that honestly makes me uncomfortable to even think about discussing with my kids. I’m joined by Dr. Cara Natterson and Vanessa Kroll Bennett to talk about how and when to talk to your kids about porn.
Dr. Natterson is a pediatrician and New York Times bestselling author of The Care and Keeping of You series, and Vanessa is a bestselling author and puberty educator. Together, they co-authored This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained and host the This Is So Awkward podcast.
They are trusted experts on puberty, sex, and navigating those awkward conversations. They’ve developed a groundbreaking health and sex ed curriculum for schools and products like Less Awkward, plus a membership for parents to get their questions answered.
What I love about Cara and Vanessa is their mix of science and humor, making tough topics like sex and puberty relatable and approachable. Raising six teens between them, they know this space inside and out, and their honest, practical approach is exactly what we need.
Alright folks, Let’s dive in.
