How has your experience of your sexual self been shaped by what you grew up understanding (or not) about sex? In this one, Ev’Yan speaks with Melissa Carnagey (she/they) about what it means + how to raise sex positive kids. Melissa speaks about why “age appropriate” sex ed might not be as useful as you think and what to do instead, why this work is so controversial in culture right now, and where to actually start when approaching sex and body talks with young ones (and it’s not with a particular book). At the end, Ev’Yan shares a sensual practice to help you connect to and reparent your younger self around sex positivity.
