Gwyneth Paltrow is just like any parent when it comes to talking to her teens about sex. She is happy to do it, but knows they would rather gnaw their own foot off than listen to their parent talk about intercourse.
That being said, there are a few home truths
that Paltrow does try to share with her two children Apple, 17, and Moses, 15, whom she shares with ex-husband Chris Martin.
"I will always just encourage my children to really listen to themselves, listen to their instincts, listen to if something you know feels right, and to act from that place."
When it comes to the technical stuff, however, the 49-year-old actress is happy to leave that up to her children's school teachers. She explained: "Teenagers are never going to want to talk to their parents about sex, ever, so I sort of follow their lead and luckily, in middle school they had a very thorough sex education, so the school handled the kind of birds and the bees parts, and then I am there for any questions, but the questions are pretty minimal."
