Using celebs for sex education

THE Government is advising parents to refer to celebrities’ lives when talking to their children about sex.

A new guide will suggest mums and dads use stories about stars in the newspapers, like Slumdog Millionaire actress Freida Pinto, to educate youngsters on love.

The leaflet says this is a way of introducing the topic which is best approached during informal moments.

The latest advice says sex is best discussed while watching TV rather than sitting teenagers down for a “big talk”.

It has been reported former model Freida, 24, is dating her co-star from the hit movie Dev Patel, 18. The guide lists the different types of contraception available and says parents should go with their child to visit the doctor.

The guide says that talking openly about sex makes teenagers feel under less pressure to have sex, and are therefore more willing to wait.
