How to Use Music to Help Jumpstart the Sex Talk with Your Kids

Talking to your children about sex would be a lot easier if there wasn’t such a societal-driven stigma to the conversation and topic. Not to mention the universal embarrassment kids seem to have when any serious talk comes up – from grades to friends to – you bet ya’ – the birds and the bees. 

How does a parent even bring up this topic without sending their child storming out of the room in embarrassment? Many parents simply don’t know how to initiate the conversation because it never seems like the right time or their own fears and anxiety of embarrassment keep them from even trying.  

However, the best opportunity to talk to your kids about sex might be when your child least expects it. Like, in the car on a nice, relaxing drive home. 

Setting the Stage With Music 

Today, musicians are becoming more and more empowered to showcase and own their sexuality. Whether it’s through their lyrics, their performances on stage or in videos, or even during press interviews – sexuality is so hot right now. 

Don’t believe me? You just have to toss a stone and see what Sabrina Carpenter, Chapelle Roan, Olivia Rodrigo, Shawn Mendes and – yep – even good ol’ Taylor Swift are up to to see these days in the ways of talking about their experiences. 

How to Use Music to Talk About Sex

Let’s say you’re in the car with your kid, and one of their favorite songs is playing. If the song alludes to something sexual, you could lower the volume for just a second and ask them, “Do you know what this means?” or “Do you know what they’re talking about?”

It’s a great way to open the doorway to understanding your child’s current knowledge of sex and relationships and it provides you a valuable opportunity  

to explain sexual intercourse or other sexual acts to your child. 

While your child might not like the idea of talking about sex with their parent, they probably don’t want to be the last one in school who doesn’t know what a certain slang term means or what is really going on at the Pink Pony Club.
