1. On this MTV reality show, Dr. Drew Pinsky helps teens and their parents work through struggles with sex and dating. Make two columns on a piece of paper. In one, list the show's healthy messages about sex, communication, respecting parents, etc. In the other, list messages that don't fit the biblical truth about sex.
   
2. Do you think this show inspires sexual purity for the participants? How about for the viewer? Why or why not? Can this show change lives and do good?
   
3. How would a show with the same goal—but a Christian doctor/therapist—differ?
   
4. Read 1 Corinthians 6:13-20 and Philippians 4:8. How does Sex … with Mom and Dad stack up to these verses?
   
5. What conversations do you need to have with your parents about sex and purity? How can you initiate those?
