A brief transcript excerpt from a conversation (YouTube video) in which speakers discuss how sex was framed as shameful in their upbringing and the need to stop treating sexual topics as taboo. Vanessa Marin reacts to the speakers’ comments. The content focuses on dismantling shame around sex and promoting open discussion.

Losing the idea of it being shameful. Like, totally.
Oh, my God.
Yeah. Sex was like, you don't talk about that. We don't touch that. It's very religious. We're just do that. And it was like, we did not learn anything about it besides that it was bad and shameful and never do that. Yeah.
Licensed sex therapist here to tell you that you are doing your child a real disservice if the only thing you teach them about sex is that it's bad or shameful. Now, a lot of parents take this route because they want their kid to take sex seriously and to be really careful and thoughtful about deciding when to have sex. But the problem is when the only information that you have when making these important decisions is just that sex is bad and shameful. It just really does not set you up for success. Now, listen, I know sex is hard to talk about. That's why I have a job. That's why I wrote a book about it. So follow along to learn how to get more comfortable with it.
