About the Author
Over 10 years ago when she was struck-dumb by her son's questions about his body, sexuality educator Amy Lang, MA got her poop in a group and decided to help parents (and herself) learn how to talk to kids about the birds and the bees. Advice guru Dan Savage says Amy is "a parents' best-friend-with benefits" when it comes to the sex talks. She is still married to her first husband and they are getting the hang of parenting their teenage son. He recently told her who told her he would rather talk to strangers about sex than his parents. She lives in Seattle, WA and you can learn more about her and her work at BirdsAndBeesAndKids.com
