My husband knew I'd be pretty excited when he came home from the priesthood session of general conference and told me that someone had said something positive about sex. I was thrilled!

Here's what Elder M. Russell Ballard had to say:

I am especially concerned that we communicate openly and clearly with our sons about sexual matters. Your sons are growing up in a world that openly embraces and flaunts early, casual, and thoughtless promiscuity. Your sons simply cannot avoid the blatant sexual imagery, messages, and enticements that are all around them. ... Be positive about how wonderful and beautiful physical intimacy can be when it happens within the bounds the Lord has set, including temple covenants and commitments of eternal marriage ("Fathers and Sons: A Remarkable Relationship," General Conference, Oct. 3, 2009; Ensign, November 2009).
