Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are all about taking a progressive approach to parenting and have been open about the ways in which they are raising their young daughters.
The Hollywood couple – who have been together for 14 years – share eight-year-old Lincoln and six-year-old Delta and the Armchair Expert podcast host admitted they have already had to discuss sex with their young daughters.
Opening up on a recent episode of his show with cohost Monica Padman and guest star Gwyneth Paltrow, the 46-year-old stated: ‘I’ll tell you one thing that my wife does that’s ingenious.
‘When she describes sex to our children, she says, “And then the woman takes the man’s penis and puts it in her vagina.”
He continued: ‘Right away it’s like, you’re in charge of this and you will decide to put this in your vagina. I was like, that’s a nice little adjustment we’re gonna make.’
The actor added that the approach was a ‘subtle’ way to let his daughters know, ‘you’re in the driver’s seat.’

The candid podcaster also explained that he doesn’t want his daughters to ‘have sex so that they can get approval from somebody’ when they reached a consenting age.
However, he stated that he wouldn’t be policing their sexual desires as he said: ‘But if my daughters are horny and want to have sex, that was my favorite activity!

‘It remains my favorite activity. I’d be lying if I said I was in any way anti that activity. I am anti getting esteemed from that activity but that’s it for me.’
There you have it, folks.
