My parents did not really have the sex talk with me. All I ever heard was "Don't have sex, you'll get pregnant." It was more of a scare tactic. My mom was a teen mom and she used herself as an example and guaranteed my sister and I that we would get pregnant too if we had sex. That was a horrible way to talk to your kids about sex.
If I ever decide to have children I would use a completely different method. My mom's way didn't teach me anything and now at almost 20 years old, I can't discuss simple things like a kiss or birth control with my mom. She'd lose her marbles. As a result of her method, I'm not as open with her as sex as I would like to be so I would take a different route. When the time comes to teach my children about sex I will teach them what is relevant at the time. As our generations change, I can't really say what I could tell them but it would definitely be information that will be important to their lives.
