Does anyone know of any online resources for sex ed with a christian worldview? I know at one time I found a website that had a downloadable booklet, but I can't find it now. I have 3 sons and 1 daughter.
How did you go about this?
Thanks and God Bless...

I suggest getting a hold of Tim and Beverly Lahaye's book Turning the Tide. Has great ideas for sharing about sex ed. from the standpoint of protection sexual purity, not merely protecting virginity.

Dovetailing on what WOF wrote, my husband and I believe in teaching children as they grow about the value of their bodies and how they are to keep them safe and private. We are not to display our bodies and we have to be careful about how we let people touch us or how we touch them. As we build on these concepts, we hope to develop a deep foundation that our children can operate from. Sex is not only about intercourse and young people need to understand that.
I am now teaching our 15yo dd about the significance of touch and how romantic touching is supposed to lead us to intercourse and that touching the private parts of one's body is a part of sex. Kissing and hugging is supposed to lead further. When it doesn't it causes emotional problems. It's turning on the body and then hard shutting it down in mid cycle. It's very unhealthy to be doing that, which is why deep kissing is a part of the sexual cycle and not intended for unmarried couples.
I gave her a book, but cannot remember what it was called, there are several available if you go to Christian Books (www.cbd.com). Some of them look really good. She enjoyed reading the book.
Last year at the fair, Human Life had a booth with information on sexual purity. At that time, TL (now 15yo dd) had a friend who had become sexually active. Her parents were at their wits end. The girls friends were all grossed out and upset, as the girl was talking about it inappropriately. Dd and another of their friends spoke frankly with her that they did not want to hear anything about it, period, not a word. Then TL saw the Human Life booth where they had information on STD's, etc. She gave some of this info to her friend and then did a study on the subject for history class as part of the Middle Ages study. She then wrote a paper on the top ten reasons for waiting until marriage. She made it personal to educate herself and understand the non-scriptural reasons, as well as the scriptural reasons for waiting for all sexual intimacy.
Make it personal. Do a unit study on STD's, unwanted pregnancy, some aspect of this topic that will help your daughter develop a deeper understanding within herself of why it is so important to wait.
Part of it is relational. This topic is so important. It covers such areas of how one gets to know people of the opposite sex, how one looks for a spouse and when one should start thinking about a relationship with the opposite sex. It's hard when they are young and beautiful and finding the opposite sex interesting and attractive. We have to be talking with our children and understanding what is going on in their lives and in their hearts. Some young people will develop relationships with the opposite sex earlier than others and they don't know the power that brings. TL is a beautiful young woman and that is not just Mother speaking. I was having a discussion with a friend the other day. She was saying that we need to teach our daughters about the power they have over men and how careful they need to be. TL had an experience where she was coming out of a store. As she was walking to the car, a young man was walking in and noticed her. He completely lost track of where he was going because he was so focused on my daughter. When he got almost to the door, he tripped on the curb and fell almost into the door. She did not notice any of this. She was completely obliviious to the young man and focused on getting into the car. She was dressed modestly, but she still distracted the guy so badly he fell. That is the power that young women need to be aware of and need to be very careful not to abuse. Of course we aren't going to dress our daughters in burkas, but they need to know about it and how to avoid causing their brothers to stumble. Of course sometimes they will stumble no matter what, as TL found out at the store.

Ds reads CW over my shoulder, sometimes. I told him what this thread is about- he said "From a girl perspective?" I told him "yes". He said "Retreating now" and left the room..
BTW, there are girls that dress badly (or barely dress) around here. He has told me more than once that he wouldn't go out with "those kinds of girls". They may be totally innocent but the clothing they wear tell him something different.

Thanks for posting that Judy! I remember seeing Passport to Purity when my kids were much younger & thinking we'll have to get that when they are older. But I'd totally forgotten about it! I remember hearing Dennis Rainey talking about taking your same sex child away for the weekend (dad with a boy & mom with a girl) & doing this together! I'm going to check it out!!

Dh has a totally different theory on sex ed and Ds doesn't agree with him at all. It has nothing to do with waiting until you are married, so as not to go into a lot of detail.
