Sex is one of the most common, most controversial in today's world. People in today's world either think sex is no big deal and is just some causal fun, or sex is to be waited until marriage and rarely discussed. I do believe sexual intimacy is a sacred, private topic, but at the same time so many LDS church members are unable to talk about it in a mature, adult manner because they find it awkward. Or on the other hand most people have no boundaries and share way to much personal details they shouldn't.
But what is the correct balance?
I think sex is something we need to teach younger members of the church is not something ti be embarrassed or ashamed about, but also is a personal,and sacred aspect of our life. I think it is important to teach preteens and teenagers the aspects of sex, but not in a raunchy or disrespectful way. But I think it is important to actually talk to our children about the subject and our views about it no matter how awkward it is, before they hear everything about sex from their friends, so they know how to handle certain situations regarding the subject. So pretty much all I'm saying is we need to be informative, but also treat the subject with respect.
