As the host of and one of the writers for Midwest Teen Sex Show, I can tell you with great assurance that our show is not even as graphic as most of the television shows your children can watch on basic cable. I can also note that we do speak fairly often about emotional consequences. We just choose not to shy away from sex as if it is repulsive and is not happening.
I do hope that should you not supply your children with any resources, you are at least able to stay open to communicating with them,and not in some backward "sex is the work of the devil" way. If you tell your children that sex is evil, once they figure out you are wrong you will have lost all credibility to them and the really important things you tell them to stay away from, like drug use will also come into question.
For the record, I adore the sites you listed, but I really think if it were limited to five, the spot you gave to us should go to SexEtc.Org. That site is so awesome because it is written by teens themselves and those kids are amazing. (Not that I'm not proud to have made the list!)
