Educating your children about sex is one thing reading texts are another.

I would do one and wouldn't do the other.

At 17 the sex education talk should be an open dialogue an ongoing thing. Male or female.

I have two sons who are now 20 and 19 we talk openly about sex and the same as your boys mine are not too happy about it but will talk lol.

I have a younger daughter and have no idea how that will go as she is far too young to talk about sex to.
