Explaining Corona Virus to Kids

March 27, 2020July 8, 2020 Nyk Rayne

Times are crazy, weird, hard, all of the above! Here at UN|HUSHED we write curriculum on hard topics the easy way, sex ed done right. The thing is, sex ed is more than just “sex”. It’s about relationships, communication, and so much more. That’s why we’re all about medically accurate […]

Back to School (i.e., Unhushed Comprehensive Sex Ed)!

August 7, 2018September 13, 2018 Dr. Karen Rayne

For ten years now I have sent out a variation of an email that I just sent out a few days ago. It’s a momentous occasion for me, and I’m so excited to share it with you: This is UN|HUSHED’s 10th year providing comprehensive sexuality education programs to the Austin […]

Talking Together: Get a Foot in the Door, Not a Door in the Face

January 28, 2017July 13, 2018 Ryan Dillon

As humans we communicate in many different ways and as technology changes our communication pathways will expand and become easier but complicated at the same time. What do I mean by that? With the rise of texting and social media it lessens the need for a key component to communication: […]

I Don’t Know!

January 2, 2017July 14, 2018 Jessica Smarr

In their 2014 book, Think Like a Freak, Stephen Levitt and Stephen Dubner claimed that the three hardest words in the English Language to say are “I don’t know.” This isn’t the wildest claim to make. If knowledge is power, then admitting you don’t know something can seem akin to […]

The holidays have arrived!

December 3, 2016July 15, 2018 Dr. Karen Rayne

The warm yummmies that come with the holiday season are so many, unless they aren’t. I love the holidays, for many reasons. The most prominent for me is the realization that the days are going to start getting longer again and the warm spring is something to look forward to. For […]

Let’s Talk About Sex….With Teenagers!

October 12, 2016July 15, 2018 Ryan Dillon

Let’s Talk About Sex! Now, when most of us read those four words together our minds automatically start singing the Salt-N-Pepa song from the early 90’s. Hey, if that helps you think about sex then I say sing it loud and sing it proud! What I’m talking about is Breaking […]

Caring Before Sharing

September 22, 2016September 13, 2018 Jessica Smarr

In the spring of 2009, I was a junior in high school and cable news anchors were warning parents about the dangers of sexting. For me, this was just another tech threat that my parents didn’t need to worry about, though they probably still would.  The internet and I grew […]

Sisyphean parenting

August 3, 2015September 13, 2018 Dr. Karen Rayne

The iconic Zits comic strip, by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman, recently depicted the act of parenting a teenager as similar to the apparent curse bestowed on Sisyphus, rolling the same boulder up a hill, over and over again only to have it roll back down again. This delights me, […]

Breaking the Scare Factor

July 23, 2015September 13, 2018 Dr. Karen Rayne 2 Comments

The blog posts written about adolescent sexual activity are overwhelming designed to scare, scare, scare parents. I can’t imagine any other reason why someone would write something as littered with misleading information and terror inducing generalizations as Growing Up Fast: What’s Causing Girls To Have Rough Sex At Just 12-Year-Old?.
