Jessica Biel is already having “the talk” with her 2-year-old son Silas, and weirdly enough, we get it
In today’s political climate, sex education seems more important than ever. So when we heard that one of our fave celeb couples — Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake – already had a head start on educating their two-and-a-half-year-old son Silas, we were pretty impressed. As we found out recently, Jessica Biel believes that sex education should start young, and she’s putting that belief into practice.
Jessica Biel made an appearance at the 2018 MAKERS Conference on February 6th, and sex and relationships were some of the topics of the day. The panel asked her how parents should pick up sex education where school leaves off. And Biel revealed that she and Timberlake had already begun having “the talk” at home with Silas.
“Well, just in terms of we’re using technical terms and we’re talking about when we shower together and this is what I’ve got, this is what you’ve got and you know we just talk about it. I know he’s really young, but I really believe that you start it this early that there’s no shame. I don’t want to tell him keep your private parts and this and that,” she said at the conference. “It’s a beautiful thing. You have it and mine’s different and it’s cool man and we have to respect ourselves and respect each other, so I believe it starts really young.”
Jessica Biel just wants to be able to talk candidly with her son about sex, and we think that’s really great.
"I think I still go back to this idea that it doesn't have to be so serious. If you want to laugh and say vagina and laugh or say penis or whatever, well do it! Laugh and get it out, get the giggles out and then ask the real question that you know you have. I think that's always what happened to me when I was young. It's like you just, you could barely get past the giggles to ask the real question, which was a really probably important question that as a young person you needed to know."
Biel makes a lot of good points. Here’s to better sex education for kids everywhere!
