INCLUSIVE CONVERSATION - the best way to discuss teen sex and LGBT issues
To start an inclusive conversation, focus on ATTRACTION: "I know some teenagers who are attracted to girls. I know some teenagers who are attracted to boys, and I know some who are attracted to both. Have you started to think about these things?" or "Usually girls your age start to become interested in boys or other girls or both, have you started to become interested in others?
Also, ASK ABOUT FRIENDS: "Have any of your friends started dating? Any boyfriends or girlfriends or both?" or "Do you know if your friends started to have sex yet?" Physicians used this approach to then turn to the teenager's dating and sexual behavior by always suggesting gender-neutral terms such as "anybody," "someone" or "partners."
