I have spoken openly and plainly about sex to my daughter since she was six and started asking questions - there is no reason to lie to a child except to 'protect' them which in fact only 'smothers' them.

I've raised my child to be able to be a strong, confident, INDEPENDANT person and I've always treated her like an adult - something she often thanks me for today and in return, I have her complete respect and honesty as well.

The BDSM aspect only came about because she asked me - she is an artist (attends a private fine arts school) and studies independantly on Japanese Anime which we all know is heavily laden with BDSM - the fact that she inquired intelligently about it makes me proud I've always been open with her.

Also, educating her about sex means she doesn't view it as some big 'taboo' to rebel against - she will make informed, educated choices when the time comes and that I'll not regret for one second

P.S. she only just turned 14 on Saturday so when we first had the discussion she would have still only been 12ish
