父母可能会等到他们确信自己的孩子处于恋爱关系时再和他们的孩子谈论性问题。为了检验这一点，对1069名青少年父母进行了电话调查。测试评估了父母对青少年恋爱关系的看法，以及父母与孩子在几个性话题上的交流。多变量回归模型确定了那些报告自己的孩子有过恋爱关系的父母与那些没有恋爱关系的父母谈论每个话题的几率。大多数父母报告说，他们至少会谈论一些与性有关的话题。相信自己的孩子有过恋爱经历的父母更有可能讨论过这里调查的大多数话题（or = 1.64-2.56）。对于某些话题，青少年的父母之间的关联更为明显。研究结果表明，父母可能会错过影响孩子行为的重要机会，在他们相信孩子陷入恋爱关系之前，应该先就性问题展开对话。
Parents may wait to talk to their teens about sexuality until they believe their child is in a romantic relationship. To examine this, telephone surveys were conducted with 1069 parents of adolescents. Measures assessed parents' perception of teens' romantic involvement and parent-child communication about several sexuality topics. Multivariable regression models determined the odds of talking about each topic among parents who reported their teen had been in a romantic relationship compared to those who did not. Most parents reported talking at least a moderate amount about some sex-related topic. Parents who believed their teen had been romantically involved were more likely to have discussed most of the topics examined here (ORs = 1.64-2.56). For some topics, associations were more pronounced among parents of younger teens. Findings suggest that parents may miss important opportunities to influence behavior, and should initiate conversations about sexuality before they believe their child to be romantically involved.
