He Said, She Said: Gender Differences in Mother-Adolescent Conversations about Sexuality.

Lefkowitz, Eva S.; Boone, Tanya L.; Sigman, Marian; Au, Terry Kit-fong

Journal of Research on Adolescence, v12 n2 p217-42 2002

Examined gender differences in self-reported and observed conversations about sexual issues. Gender differences (more mother-daughter than mother-son) were found in the extent of sexual communication based on adolescents' reports, but no gender differences were found based on mothers' reports, or on observations of conversations.
