Re: Poker education similar to Sex education?
[ QUOTE ]
Is it fair to analogize poker with sex? That is, since it is beneficial to speak with the kids frankly about sex, offering them literature and condoms/birth control if they choose to not abstain wouldn't my educating the kids about poker be considered as similarly beneficial?

Will you show your kids how to be good at sex?
I don't have kids so I have no idea what you should do. But I am pretty sure you should not compare it to sex. I know parents that smoked weed with their kids to try and educate them about it instead of letting them learn from strangers. I can't help but think this is a terrible idea.
I think kids will imitate their parents so if you are ok with them playing poker then I guess it is ok to teach them.
Edit: Be careful you are not just making excuses to enable yourself to get what you want without considering what is truly good for the kids in the long run.
