Tales from the Stirrups

The Myth of "The Talk"

September 3, 2026·8 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Parents often ask, “When should I have ‘The Talk’ with my child?” Dr. Steven Adashek suggests we’ve been asking the wrong question. In this opening episode, he explains why children don’t experience one big talk about sex—they experience hundreds of little conversations that teach them about bodies, relationships, respect, privacy, and trust. Part 1 of our 5 part series: How To Talk to Your Children About Sex Have feedback or an idea for an episode? Email us! talesfromthestirrups1@gmail.com   * Remember, a podcast is not medical advice. It is simply education.  I hope that this podcast will inform and encourage your conversations with your providers about your health and care. *
