I’m so glad I’m not growing up in this age of smartphones, social media, and bullshit generators. Life was hell enough in the 90s without all that noise.

Puberty begins as early as 10 in girls and 11 in boys, so 14 may be a little late, at least for some kids.
Yeah, I just meant 14 is not too young rather than 14 is the correct age.
I’m sure it will be very difficult but my intention with my kids is just to be as open and honest about these sorts of issues as reasonably possible, at any age. I don’t really see why sex and nudity and privacy and respect have to be awkward subjects.
There was recently a “book burning” type rally in my city where some residents were concerned that there was a book at the library that had sex-related topics available to children. I just don’t get it.
A bunch of the U.S. conservatism around sex is related to Abrahamic religion where sex is presented as sinful. Religious indoctrination begins at a very young age for some kids.
