I'm a dad to 6 kids. I allow them to talk openly about sex and drugs, but I still have boundaries.
Briefly

"Sometimes, I'll be in the car with my daughters, who range in age from 15 to 22, and they'll start talking about boys and sex. Pretty soon, they're having a conversation that makes me want to cover my ears as a dad. I have to remind myself that I've worked hard to help them be so open and honest, and the payoff - the fact that they trust me - is well worth my occasional discomfort."
"With my own kids, I was determined to make space for those honest conversations. My wife Michelle and I have a blended family, and when we moved in together we told the six kids that we had a policy of 'everything on the table, all the time.' This isn't just about taboo topics like sex or drugs. It's also about mundane disagreements."
