Children and adolescents should receive age-appropriate and evidence-based education about sex and sexuality from pediatricians, schools, professionals and parents, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
In the U.S., according to the AAP, about one in three adolescents does not receive any information on sexuality from pediatricians.
And when the subject does come up between doctors and kids, the average conversation lasts less than 40 seconds, the group says in a new report.
"Which means two-thirds of the time it's not discussed at all, and when it is discussed it's such a brief time," said Dr. Cora Breuner

The AAP's report - its first on the topic since 2001 - was published in Pediatrics. It defines sexuality education as "teaching about human sexuality, including intimate relationships, human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexually transmitted infections, sexual activity, sexual orientation, gender identity, abstinence, contraception and reproductive rights and responsibilities."

Sex education for some parents as well.
i wonder what possesses an adult to be so vehemently passionate about talking to minor children about sex.
It suggests that there are more people out there who want to have sex with children than we think.
The AAP is all Left all the time. There is another group, the American Pediatric Association, who says this is child abuse. They formed their group about 10 years ago in response to the way the AAP became political and started toeing the Dem line.
Great movie, very funny!
Once our pediatrician starting asking one of our kids about guns (without us present), that was the last time I ever took my kids in for a checkup...fortunately they didn’t get sick much after that.
So they're talking to teenage boys?
How about simple biology? No one learns that anymore.
