Nikol Hasler is a one-of-a-kind gal who has three children of her own. She helps to run the online website midwestteensexshow.com. She tries to portray teen sex in a humorous fashion with small clips of cable porn to show that it is OK to have a sexual preference and to look at porn. Her website is all about teen sex and what seems to be no laughing matter for a lot of parents.

Nikol Hasler tries to add humor into talking about sex. Hassler identifies sex as being natural amongst teens and adults and wants everyone to understand that sex is a part of life and that there is nothing better than safe sex.

All though I disagree with Hasler's tactics on talking to teens about sex, I do agree with a lot of what she had to say about teens needing to hear information from better influences rather than hearing it from the television or from people who aren't very good role models.

As a parent, I have tried to be as open as possible with my children. My oldest son is now a teenager and I understand that a teenager's hormones can get the best of them at times but I would also like for the "sex talk" to come from his father and I instead of from a complete stranger or the Internet.

It is hard to tell when the best time is to talk to a child about sex especially since the average age for children to have sex has decreased from what it was when my father was a child. Figuring out when to have "the talk" really depends on your child's maturity and signs that show that your child is becoming curious about sex.

Sex education is schools can offer some incite to the productive organs and other things but they can also make your child uncomfortable and they may not ask the questions that they want to ask.

If and when you decide to talk to your child about sex, try taking my approach that I used on our son and start the conversation off by saying that you understand that he or she is reaching the age where they might become curious about sex and see what they have to say about it. Answer questions openly and honestly and your child will be more eager to discuss this issue with you. You might look at this at the "American Pie talk" but it has been proven to work.

I disagree with their tactics, too. I agree with you. I would rather my children have accurate information in a moral context than to base their knowledge on what they hear or see on TV.

As my grandchildren reach their teen years, I worry about the negative influences of our popular culture on the sanctity of sex. Our kids learn about the physical aspects without regard to emotion or commitment.

@Artme, Hasler claims to be teaching young children sex education but to me, she is going about it all wrong. The videos show way to much detail and in one of them, she makes a statement about guy on guy action but then precedes to kind of make fun of them. There are defiantly a bunch of sick people out there and I would watch who educated my child on something like this.

@Karen, teen pregnancy has become very comon even though it has declined from what it was a few years ago. I was a teen mother and never want my children to have to go through a lot of the things that I had went through. Thanks for your comment.

Yes I do agree with you Rosa. Very good article. We need to have more focus on this issue. My son came home 2 weeks ago and told me that one of his fellow students (female) is pregnant. My son is in the 7th grade. I almost lost my breath when he told me this. Great job!
