Videos (for parents):

Health Choices First has a short, 2 minute video titled, Parenting Tips: When to Talk About Sex.

Saber Hacer has a 8 minute video, How to Talk to Adolescents about Sex, targeting Latino youth, however it’s really relevant to all parents and teens! They also have a 2 minute video on How to Talk to Children about Sex.

Let’s Talk About Sex is an hour-long documentary about adolescent sexuality available for $19.95 from Amazon or other sellers.  They have some resources that can accompany the film.

Books (for parents):

but how’d I get in there in the first place? talking to your young child about sex. by Deborah Roffman. (2002)

A great resource for parents of children under the age of 6 (or teachers of that age range).  She provides practical tools for answering questions and puts the concept of learning about sexuality in the context of childhood development.

Books (for sex nerds):

Yes Means Yes. getting explicit about heterosex. by Kath Albury. (2002)

One of the first books that I encountered as a young grad student on the topic of sexual desire and pleasure framed in a positive light.  And being from Australia is cool.
