Summary

This episode is especially not suitable for children, as we discuss a wide range of filth - everything from sexting and porn to front bottoms and Top Gun. Our guest is the wonderful Peggy Orenstein, author of new book Girls & Sex. She tells us what kids are really up to these days, and why we should all copy lesbians and the Dutch. Then it's time for PRACTICAL CHAT - Peggy reveals when we should start talking to our children about sex, how to start that conversation, and what we should call their bits. Ellie is thrilled to learn she is a "demisexual", and to discover she is one degree of separation closer to Kelly McGillis. Peggy's ace book is out now. You can follow her on Twitter - @peggyorenstein. We're on Twitter (@scummymummies), Instagram, and Facebook. Please send your confessions to [email protected] and visit us at ScummyMummies.com. If you like the podcast, do tell your friends! Thank you for listening!
