Jessica Biel and husband Justin Timberlake take an honest and open approach when it comes to sex education with her 2-year-old son Silas, the actress said Tuesday during the 2018 MAKERS Conference.

"I have a 2½-year-old (and) we're starting (sexual education) now," she said. "We're using technical terms … we shower together, and (we say), 'This is what I've got. This is what you've got.' We just talk about it. I know it's really young, but I really believe that if you start this early, there's no shame."

“I don’t want to tell him, ‘Keep your private parts,’ and this and that,” Biel said. “It’s a beautiful thing. You have it and mine is different and it’s cool, man. We have to respect ourselves and respect each other. So I believe it starts really young.”
