Mit deinen Teens über Sex zu reden, wird immer noch peinlich sein. Aber mit den richtigen Fragen ist es hoffentlich a little less peinlich ...

„A Little Less Peinlich“ ist ein Karten-Set mit Gesprächsanregern zum Thema Sexualaufklärung für Eltern von Teenagern. Es soll diese wichtigen Gespräche lockerer, unterstützend und sogar lustig machen.

Das Kartenspiel enthält 100 zum Nachdenken anregende Fragen – ohne Antworten – zu wichtigen Themen wie Körper, Beziehungen, Geschlechtsidentität, Safer Sex, Lust, Kommunikation und Einwilligung. Es hilft Eltern und Teenagern, peinliche Schweigepausen zu überwinden, Vertrauen aufzubauen, Wissen auszutauschen und gemeinsam kritisches Denken zu entwickeln. Ganz gleich, ob in deiner Familie offen über das Thema gesprochen wird oder es tabuisiert ist, diese Karten bieten einen sanften Einstieg in echte Gespräche.

Die Karten wurden von Sexualpädagog*innen von Other Nature, einem queer-feministischen und sexpositiven Team aus Berlin, entwickelt und von Polar Embassy veröffentlicht. Sie sind in deutscher Sprache als Box-Set und in deutscher, russischer, türkischer oder englischer Sprache als digitaler PDF-Download erhältlich. Das Spiel wird in Österreich Cradle to Cradle-zertifiziert gedruckt und unterstützt damit sexpositive Aufklärung und Nachhaltigkeit zugleich.

A Little Less Peinlich Aufklärungskarten für Eltern & Teenager FAQs

Questions, but no answers?

That's right - but don't worry! Helping show young adults how to look up reliable information is an important skill this question set is meant to help model.

For what ages?

You know when your young adult is ready to talk about sex and relationships. The deck was designed for families with teens 14+.

How to play A Little Less Awkward?

Our suggestions:

  • Set a timer and take turns asking and answering questions for the agreed period
  • Ask one another 1 card each every evening for a week
  • Each go through the deck and select 5 questions you’re most interested in. Let the other player know which cards you’ve chosen and agree on a good time to talk about them.
  • Set up a weekly date to ask 3 questions each
  • Play one-to-one, with more than one parent/caregiver, or with more than one young adult
  • Talk over the questions on a walk, or leave one another voice notes

Feel free to add some incentives or silliness to keep things fun! For example:

  • Whenever it’s your turn to answer, you get to eat a treat (chewing gives you thinking time!)
  • Have a veto = dance party option and dance together for 60 seconds anytime someone doesn't want to answer a question.
  • Hide cards for one another around the house and spend a few moments reflecting on the question each time you find one

Can you win?

This is not a game you can win or lose. "I don't know" and "I don't want to answer that" are valid answers. Communicating about boundaries is such an important skill!

How many cards?

50 cards with a question or activity on each side.

Do you offer educator discounts?

Yes! Teachers and curriculum developers, please reach out about discounts for classroom use.

When to start sex education?

As a parent or caretakers, you know when you child is ready to discuss complex topics like sex and relationships. 

Many of our questions require critical reflection and self-awareness, so we recommend using the deck from ages 14+.

Why is sex education important?

Sex education is health education. Our kids need to learn (when they're ready!) how to take care of themselves and others.

Won't kids just learn sex education in school?

Sexual education is compulsory in Germany, but conversations at home are still very important for the sex education of young adults in Germany.According to the Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung (BZgA),over half of young people polled stated that parents were the most important people when it comes to sex education.
