I think it's so interesting that we are very, very old beings. We've existed for a long time, and we will exist for a very long time. Satan knows he has his chance because as we come through the veil into our mortal experience, we forget. We forget who we are, and we forget what we have done. And he says, "This is my chance." And here we are to learn. For the first time, we have a body and it has sexual powers and we are destined to be creators. And he says, "This is my chance. I'm going to get them to mess it up and to forget who they are." But if we pray and we ask through the Holy Ghost, "Help me connect with who I am, with my identity, and with your plan for me, what you want me to do," there is a power that comes into our lives, even though we can't remember, that helps us resist Satan during this time.

If I get a sexual feeling, I have to understand the need that drives it. And if what I think is the need is just pleasure, which is not necessarily the case, then I get pleasure-focused and the need never gets met, because the actual need is that need for human connection, the need for closeness. And when we respond to sexual urges in this way, adolescents and adults and anybody--they can manage their sexual feelings when they really understand its divine nature, its natural purpose and function. We need to have broad conversations about the value of sex in our lives, its purpose in our lives, the bigger picture of where it fits into why we're here on earth and what we're about here. But we also need to very explicitly warn our kids, "Pornography is out there. It's a bad thing. Let's talk about what pornography is. You're going to open the computer one day, and there's going to be something on there that you shouldn't see. Or you're going to turn on the TV and you're going to think, 'Whoa, what's this all about?' I hope you'll come and talk to me about that so that we can work on that together. But don't feel like you've done something wrong just because you're curious about sex or because you get exposed to something about sex. This is something that we want to help you with." We want them to not be afraid of sexual feelings, not be afraid, and to expect that their kids are going to have sexual experiences, and to do very specific things to help them integrate those feelings into their life, to understand them, how to manage them effectively. As parents, it is a primary responsibility that we have to teach our children about healthy sexuality. One of the mistakes I think parents make is simply teaching children to avoid all thoughts and feelings of sexuality until some future point in life when suddenly, magically, they will just know and understand everything about sexuality and then have a perfectly healthy approach to it. And as you can imagine, that doesn't work very well. And it's also about learning that you don't always in life get what you want exactly when you want. So teaching children anything in that area is helping model healthy sexuality. Touch in the home is really important--physical touch, hugs, kisses with our little children, holding them when they're in pain. Teaching children that touch is safe and vulnerable and connecting, that's extremely important. When there are two parents in the home, let the children see the parents hugging and kissing--and not over the top, of course, but allowing the children to see that it's normal for Mom and Dad to really be physically affectionate with each other. If we never show children that, then they don't learn that that's a normal part of relationships. We also want to teach children consent, because I think people get this idea that once they get married, that everything is on the table and you can do anything you want whenever you want, sexually. And that's simply not accurate. We want to teach our children in all of their relationships that, for example, touch is by consent. So if your younger brother doesn't want a hug, then you don't force that hug on him. You ask and if he says no, then you don't do it. That's a great thing to teach that will then translate later into adult sexual relationships. It's easy sometimes to feel like, as a parent or as a family member, [GROANS] "You know, I'm vulnerable myself. I don't know how to talk about these things, or I've had my own past issues, or I may come from a family that didn't have good sexual boundaries myself. Why am I the person to be able to do this?" But I think our very vulnerability is what's the most useful when we talk to younger kids about it, because you're able to say, "Look, I didn't grow up in the perfect situation, and here is how I've been able to navigate and manage. And I'll do anything I can to help you." It can be parents, and of course parents have a role, but grandparents also have a role. Aunts and uncles have a role. Siblings have a role. I spend a lot of time teaching for parents how to talk to their kids about sexuality, how to create a very safe environment so that when they do see images, it doesn't have the same attraction, it doesn't have the same allurement, because they've got a good foundation of what sexuality really should be. And so yes, we talk about stress; we talk about "How are you going to respond when you see something like that?" But most importantly, we talk about preparation prior. Sometimes in society we want to cure when really, we need to spend a lot of time preventing. And we prevent by education.
