asked:
I am almost 18 years old and my dad (who is a single father) still hasn't had the sex talk with me. Is there any way I can initiate the conversation in a way that will make him comfortable enough to talk about it?

Here’s the thing - he may not be comfortable, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start the conversation. In fact, he’ll probably appreciate you coming to him and talking. A good way to start is by telling him you want to talk about something important, and set aside time to do it with no distractions. Ask him about his life when he was your age - dating, relationships, staying healthy and safe. And ask him questions you’re looking for answers to. Getting to know more about him, and looking for info together is a great way to keep conversations going.
