b'If you\\u2019re a parent or caregiver, should you talk to your child about masturbation? Yes. You absolutely should, even if it\\u2019s awkward, even if your own parents didn\\u2019t talk about it with you. (And let\\u2019s be real: they probably didn\\u2019t.) But I get it \\u2013 finding the words can be hard, especially for such a touchy subject. That\\u2019s why today\\u2019s episode is devoted entirely to giving you tools, scripts and resources to help you.\\nFirst, I give you the big why: Why should you talk to your children, and teens specifically, about masturbation? I\\u2019ll give you several science-backed reasons why it\\u2019s wise to do so. Next, we\\u2019ll do some masturbation myth-busting, to help alleviate any concerns, on their part or yours, that it\\u2019s harmful or unhealthy. Great news: it\\u2019s not! And finally, I\\u2019ll walk you through how to have\\xa0this conversation, with specific verbiage you can use to help put yourself and your child at ease. Don\\u2019t worry caregivers: I got you, and in this episode I\\u2019ll also answer your\\xa0questions about teens and sex. Should you talk to your teen about ethical porn? What should you do if a teen daughter starts asking about sex toys?
