The Pitfalls of Trite Advice

October 18, 2018 Dr. Karen Rayne

You have probably heard all kinds of trite relationship advice over life because it’s a staple of conversations about relationships. You may even give trite relationship advice sometimes, because sometimes it’s useful. But it’s important to see the advice for what it is and consider whether what you’re repeating makes […]

Relationship Architecture: Understanding Columns and Shadows

October 10, 2018October 10, 2018 Dr. Karen Rayne

The metaphor that we use over here at UN|HUSHED for healthy relationships are the four columns of Respect, Equality, Safety, and Trust. Thinking about these four elements as columns that hold up a relationship and make it strong, sturdy, and reliable makes for a pretty good graphic. It makes intuitive […]

Teenagers Are What We Have Going For Us

October 3, 2018October 3, 2018 Dr. Karen Rayne

Teenagers are creative, visionary, engaged. They are immersed in the passion of discovery of life. They have a driving need to understand life in a way that is real and visceral. They want to find the wrongs and right them. Teenagers are like a mirror, reflecting adults and our culture, […]

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 […]

Condom Week: Wherefore condoms?

June 2, 2014 Dr. Karen Rayne

I’ve decided that it’s Condom Week around here at Unhushed. Melissa White over at Lucky Bloke recently asked if I wanted to provide content for her new safer sex education website, and of course I was delighted! But when I went back to look through my blogging archives (both here […]

I will be offering a class for middle school boys this summer.

Sexual harassment, consent, and hugging grandma

May 6, 2013 Dr. Karen Rayne 2 Comments

Yesterday in my middle school class we talked about sexual harassment. The students had a general notion of these as bad things, but little in the way of details. The problem is generally that people misconstrue sexual harassment with sexual assault. They don’t realize that harassment can be verbal, can […]

Opportunities abound!

March 8, 2013 Dr. Karen Rayne

The worst way that parents fail in talking with their kids about sex is by not talking about it at all. So jump to it, get on it, and start that conversation! Opportunities surround us. The Oscars, a few weeks ago, offered many golden opportunities, it appeared to be the […]
