Discussing the birds and bees won't change when teenagers decide to have sex, but it will make their sexual practices safer, a review of clinical trials has shown.
According to the study, published in JAMA Pediatrics on Tuesday, children who receive sex education (i.e. "the talk") from their parents do not delay their first sexual encounter, however they are more likely to use condoms and report being more able to talk with their parents about sexual health.
