Parenting

I’m marking the 15th anniversary of my blog, a few months late. What began as exhibitionistic and therapeutic has become a memoir of my inner life through my fifties.

Parenting is complicated. Here’s one conversation I had with my son, about cops.

I have more questions than answers about objectification, but I think the questions themselves are worth sitting with.

I hate the word “consent,” even as I wholeheartedly endorse the concept behind it.

Not one conversation but a lifetime of them — what I really mean when I say “the talk.”

When smart people talk about porn, they often say dumb things. I hope to avoid that particular pitfall.

I asked for thoughts on “the talk,” and got a bunch — including a couple I found more frustrating than helpful.

I’m going to write about kids and porn, and I want your help.

What I wish someone had told me about sex and desire, and what I’m trying to figure out how to tell my kid.

I’m drafting my thoughts on “the talk,” but first, I want yours.
