I really don't know how to bring it up to my daughter and I'm a bit nervous because she's just turned 18 and is going to college soon. So I don't want her to make any mistakes I did when I was her age. But I'm having a difficult time bringing up the topic or even figuring out what to talk about and how to make sure she understands
You tell her, "You are an adult now and there are some adult things I would like to discuss with you." As soon as she gets the idea you are talking about sex, she will pprobably say that it isn't necessary, and then you say, "Well, just listen to what I have to say for a few minutes and if you still don't want to hear it, I'll stop."
She probably doesn't need an explanation of the mechanics of sex. What she needs is some guidance about not going crazy wild when she has the freedom to do whatever she wants.
Nervous you should have been nervous when she was a baby when she was one right now you have to be on top of it you tell her how it is there's nothing to be nervous about what kind of relationship do you have with her is it a straight up honest loving caring relationship if that's what it is that's what it should be anyway you just be straight up you tell her everything about it and then you also tell her everything about college what's going to happen What could happen I mean you have to be straight up no manipulating those lying no cheating just straight up
See depending on how you raised her you don't need to be nervous or scared and she should be able to come to you and ask you anything I mean anything and you guys should both believe and trust in each other
For me I knew about it all most of not all 18 years olds do! Like really d and have done stuff!
My daughter was just like me no virginity at age 14 and we got talking and shared the amazing stuff before getting to the please don't do what I did part!
First off have fun open those lines of we are women and sexual being and it is okay... We love it!
Then be a mom and share what you regret and hope she won't go through!
Cause really with the internet they have already seen porn or dick picks from losers!
Don't have kids but I did get the talk. My mom talked to me about that stuff. Then you also have the sex ed we all got in school. She already knows about her body and stuff. I would focus on safe sex practices since that is a really important thing. Like birth control that's out there and always insist on dude using a condom no matter what. I'm sure she knows more than you think but safe sex would be number one on my list.

If she's 18, she already knows everything from internet, books, friends, teachers, etc. The only thing you might need to tell her about is how birth control and condoms fail way more often than the packaging says, and how it's wise to wait until she finds a perfect match to have sex because of the pregnancy and std risks, and that stds spread way easier than most people think.
If you don't want it to be awkward, don't make it awkward.
being trans my mom had the talk with me after I transitioned as a teenager.
she also walked in on me and my boyfriend having sex when we were in high school
If she is 18 you are behind schedule about talking about it, but do it sooner instead of later also talk about masturbation cause many parents leave that part out of the talk.
She’s already 18 tho that’s so old she probably already knows everything 😱 the “talk” should be 14 - 15
That's true I might have procrastinated but I have kept her sheltered
@missboogus you nailed it.
if she's over 15 makesure she knows about sex..
but u should advice her to keep virgin and save herself till marrige
I do not know myself. Its gona be awkward but I guess its more important to educate her then worrying about akwardess
She has definitely watched porn before. Start with always use protection during sex. Then continue with what you want to say.
At 18 she should already know stuff, the talk should be more closer to early teens. But you talk to her and see if she has any questions.
I seriously doubt you can tell anything she doesn't already know
I don't have kids so no I haven't taught them
I think it would be stressful to give a sex talk
I think she is already know everything about sex..
you might be too late, she know more than you in 18 nowadays.
