Episode 9: What is the Clitoris?

Does the idea of discussing sexual anatomy have you shaking in your boots? It shouldn’t! Bodies are perfectly natural and so is sexual anatomy.

It’s ok to discuss anatomy without assigning judgment and shame to it.

Being Honest About the Clitoris

The clitoris tends to be super taboo for many people. Some people are ashamed to admit that it even exists while others feel uncomfortable by all that we don’t actually know about the vulva pleasure center.

If ever presented with this question, it’s always a good idea to be honest. You don’t have to give in-depth answers but you don’t have to hide the truth from your children either. Keep the answer simple and consistent with their level of interest in the subject.

As children, they don’t need to know detailed specifics about the clitoris. It’s not something many kids will even ask about unless they hear the word somewhere. However, being honest it’s an important part of building trust and knowledge that they will need when they grow into mature adults who have sexual experiences.

Building Good Foundations for Sexually Healthy Adults

If we want our children to grow up to have happy, healthy, and well-adapted relationships we have to help them understand sex and sexuality. How we talk about subjects that are typically taboo communicates a lot to our child. If they don’t have safe spaces to ask questions about such things, they will try to find the answers elsewhere and these answers may misguide them or lead them astray.
