Dr. Ruth and others share their stories_  by [Olivia B. Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Sep 4, 2015 3:33 PM UTC  by [Olivia B. Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Sep 4, 2015 3:33 PM UTC In a video produced by Cosmopolitan.com, adult men sit on a couch and ask young girls for advice on what to text adult women. Advice ranges from potential buzzkills like “I love you” to “tell her she’s pretty!” or compliment the girl’s hair. By watching little kids give basic advice, viewers are presumably supposed to learn that everyone is overthinking text messages and that people should just say what they feel whenever they want. Kids just tell it like it is, and maybe more men and women who are dating should embrace their inner child. ## Transcript Where I grew up in Germany, I believed that it's the stork who brings babies to this world. Mother, is it wrong to feel [ MUSIC ] Warm and affectionate when you, when you're with a boy you really like? No dear, it is not wrong. My mom had no problem talking about it. She just said, wait 'til you get married. Maybe, like, when I was in first grade. Around fifth grade. I was about seventh grade. I do remember my mother and grandmother wanted to tell me about the facts of life. I was playing hide and go seek with my friends. Someone got rid of all their, their whole stash of pornos. Like, [ LAUGH ] [ UNKNOWN ]. I pick it up and I'm just like, this is the greatest thing I ever seen. I didn't know that I would talk about sex for my entire professional life. And now I'm 86, and I'm still talking about relationships and sex . >> I remember accidentally coming across what sex was really like on the Playboy channel when we finally got cable TV [ LAUGH ] [ MUSIC ] Sexuality education has to start at a very early age. Your belly button, it's too small. Mary, the baby doesn't come out of your navel. Let me tell you how it is. The first time I had a talk talk was in seventh grade health class. My father was so old- fashioned that. It was just I got sort of Andy back before. He would be like go talk to your brother, and he'd go, go talk to Mom. Asians don't really get that talk. It's just the, the conversations aren't there. You know, like the story of the birds and the bees I don't know that story. I don't know, I still don't know what that is. [ LAUGH ] They told me you could get pregnant by eating watermelon seeds and drinking water and eating dirt. Which I did [ LAUGH ] throwing up, I was throwing up mud when my mom got home. When the sperm and the egg get together they make a tiny person. So tiny that not even the mother knows it's there for the first few weeks. When I was a child I just thought, oh it's bad. It's bad unless you get married. And now that I'm adult I understand there's nothing wrong with that. Good sexuality education. That starts when a child is growing up is going to be beneficial for that child for the rest of his or her life. Coming from a Pentecostal Christian family, I was definitely. Not only challenging to be trying to find myself, around my sexuality and my gender identity. But I just remember always feeling this conflict of being very curious about it but then feeling very very dirty and just wrong at the same time. mom, you know, taught us a lot about self esteem and self love and it comes here first inside. Not to run off and find it in someone else. I think that when you, when you make something so taboo to somebody, you make them even more curious about it. I've realized that this really, ultimately, is about companionship and love and togetherness. I think if they say, okay, it's okay for us to talk about sex, I think they'll think, oh, more people are gonna have it. It's okay to be a sexual being. I don't think we talk enough about trust and sex. We talk a lot about love and sex and of course we want to say oh I love you, I love you and that's all that matters. But no, we also have to trust one another. And if you don't trust somebody then don't make yourself that vulnerable, which we do. In sex we're very vulnerable to one another. And so it's gotta be with someone you trust. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4023033/cosmopolitan-men-text-women-girls-advice-tinder/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4023033/cosmopolitan-men-text-women-girls-advice-tinder/"},"headline":"Watch Little Girls Give Grown Men Advice About Texting Women","datePublished":"2015-09-04T15:33:24.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:10.136Z","description":"\"Am I being too desperate?\"","url":"https://time.com/4023033/cosmopolitan-men-text-women-girls-advice-tinder/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Family & Relationships"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
