What Every Dad NEEDS to Tell His Daughter About Sex
A Father’s Role: The Sacred Responsibility of the “Sex Talk”
In a world where kids are exposed to hyper-sexualized content at a disturbingly young age, how can a father protect his daughters while also equipping them with a strong, biblical foundation for understanding their bodies and sexuality? This question lies at the heart of a recent conversation on The Sex Talk Podcast with our guest Jason Glenn, a father who has successfully navigated these waters. His approach is simple yet profound: engage early, be intentional, and build a consistent narrative of modesty and privacy.
Jason’s method is built on more than just having the conversation. He teaches us that it’s about starting a lifelong dialogue from the earliest age possible. His daughters, raised with a firm grasp of biblical modesty, are now entering the world as confident, godly women. This is the story of how he did it. This is what every dad needs to tell his daughters about sex!
Begin Early: Laying the Foundation of Modesty
What would you say if you had only three minutes to teach a dad how to handle this topic? Jason Glenn would tell you to start early. For Jason, having “the talk” doesn’t mean waiting until your daughter is a teenager. Instead, it starts at age three or four, with simple conversations about modesty and privacy. Jason shares how he and his wife taught their girls that certain body parts are private, not because they’re bad, but because they’re special and should be treated with dignity.
This concept is much deeper than surface-level modesty. Jason emphasizes the importance of helping daughters understand why their bodies are valuable and how respecting them is part of a godly life. “Modesty isn’t just about covering up,” he says. “It’s about respecting what God has given you.”
Building Upon the Narrative: Consistency is Key
Jason believes the key to a successful sex talk is ongoing, consistent engagement. He didn’t just sit his daughters down for a single awkward conversation. Instead, he and his wife built upon their modesty narrative throughout their daughters’ lives. The conversations shifted from modesty at a young age to more explicit discussions of sexuality and relationships as they matured.
By consistently reinforcing this biblical view of sexuality, Jason ensured that his daughters weren’t blindsided by the world’s view. They weren’t left to navigate these issues alone. This ongoing dialogue allowed Jason and his wife to instill a sense of confidence and biblical ethics into their daughters, empowering them to make wise decisions.
The Culture’s Influence: A Challenge for Every Parent
We live in a culture that glorifies immodesty and hyper-sexuality, and our kids are right in the middle of it. Jason shares his concern about children in public schools, exposed to inappropriate content at increasingly younger ages. He argues that parents need to be intentional and take control of what their kids are exposed to.
“You can’t shield them from everything,” Jason admits. But what you can do is give your daughters the tools to navigate this world without losing their sense of self-worth. Jason’s daughters weren’t sheltered or naive, but they were equipped with a strong biblical foundation that gave them clarity and confidence.
It’s never too early to start this process, and it’s never too late to course-correct. Go listen to this powerful episode to learn what every dad needs to tell his daughters about sex!
