How Do Parents Come Out To Their Kids If They're Gay, Poly or Kinky? HD

It can be challenging to talk to your children about being gay, poly or kinky. How can you discuss this? With Reid Mihalko from http://www.ReidAboutSex.com and Cathy Vartuli from http://www.TheIntimacyDojo.com. Cathy: How do parents come out to their kids if they’re poly, gay or kinky? This is Reid Mihalko from http://reidaboutsex.com/ Reid: Cathy Vartuli from http://theintimacydojo.com/ Cathy: And Reid has this great thing called the difficult conversation formula. Reid: At http://reidaboutsex.com/difficult-conversation-formula/ Cathy: And we’ll put the link below. That’s a great place to start but it can be challenging. Reid: For the kid or for the parent? Cathy: Both! Reid: Mom! Cathy: I don’t want to hear! Reid: So, don’t do it at kids birthday party. Cathy: Or in front of their friends or… Reid: Well, we hope that their friends are [inaudible 00:00:40]. So don’t come out then. Okay? That’s the first move [inaudible 00:00:47]. Cathy: Yeah. And you may want to give them some time to when you share, make sure they don’t have a big meeting right after or something. They may need some time to process it. Reid: [inaudible 00:00:57] going after the baseball game or something like that. Cathy: Right. Or like, giving a presentation for the boss. Reid: “Hey, Johnny. That bat? There’s a reason that it was in our bedroom” Cathy: Please don’t tell them you use their toys. Reid: “Mom!” Oh, my goodness. Cathy: Well, it’s so bad. Reid: What are your comments about that? Cathy: I’m sure. Reid: So, here’s it is. It’s…a lot of different people talk about their, I mean, there’s a lot of great information out there. There’s a lot of sex-positive parents that are out there creating and generating a lot of great contents. So, what I would consider is research some of those people who has some advice. Ask them. Don’t let this be the only video that you take into consideration. And let them know…Here’s the deal. They probably already know or if they don’t know, they just don’t care. And so, my take on it – as somebody who doesn’t have kids, is when they come and start asking you questions or will often be like, “Mom, dad. Are you guys kinky?” That’s the time not to lie. So, don’t be lying about that stuff. And I think it’s appropriate to teach kids that, “Oh, you know Johnny. That’s not any of your business.” Like, that’s mommy and daddy’s or mommy mommy’s or daddy daddy’s or mom…whoever. Cathy: This is very age appropriate like, you don’t tell your five year old the details. You’re thirty five year old may have questions that you would not answer to a five year old. Reid: Yeah. And when you come home and your five year old has found your flogger, that doesn’t mean it’s time to tell them. And again, these are my opinion as somebody as I’m not a parent. The situation of how do you teach your kids that people are allowed to have privacy, like good life skills. And how do you teach your kids not to lie but that you can also say, Billy or wh
