Meet Jay’s Mom!
Hey there..my name is Karen Brock, and I’m so glad that you are visiting The Sex Rev!
A little bit about me…
I am sometimes called the ‘Sex Lady’ because I teach an Sexual Abstinence Program in both elementry and secondary schools in the area.
I love young people and have such a heart to see them move toward an incredible future but
realize that the choices they are making now will dictate the futures that they live,
especially in regards to their sex lives.
As married parents of 3 kids, my husband and I knew that we had to be open with them about sex and issues surrounding it. Someone once said to us “Where there is silence and secrecy there is shame”. We wanted our kids to know that in our home it was okay to talk about sex.
We also felt it necessary to let them know that we believe that sex is GREAT in the context of marriage, but outside of that it could become a source of pain instead of pleasure.
Many parents do not understand how important their role is, in their kids lives, when it comes to
sex. We must do everything in our power to love, protect and connect in a healthy, vibrant, relevant manner with our kids in order for them to hear us when it comes to their choices, especially regarding sex.
Once kids turn 15 or 16, it is time to move the focus from the rules to the relationship with them. If the relationship is not great between young people and their parents, then their peers will become the bigger influence in their lives!
The fact that you are reading this indicates your desire to be there for your kids…good for you! Moving out of a comfort zone to deal with these issues can look scary at first, but trust me, it will be worth it in the end!
Talk to you next Friday!
Karen
