Let's Talk About Sex ... Education
Many parents don't talk to their kids about sex. That may be why sex educator Heather Corinna created Scarleteen.com. It's a judgment-free Web site where teens can get information on just about anything sex-related, including HIV, pregnancy and sexual health. And if teens can't find an answer to their question, they can write in to get personal advice from one of the site's "sexperts."  What's New at The Body, May 30, 2007 http://www.thebody.com/content/news/art41152.html?m202h
