The mother-of-two told how she and her 16-year-old son created the First Sex Kit to help teens lose their virginity.
French entrepreneur Chloe McIntosh, who lives in London, has come up with a sex education app during lockdown by launching Kama, which has recommendations for all ages on a range of different topics, including foreplay and anal sex.
The “starter kit” element came in organically when her eldest son Felix, 16, chatted about sex with his 19-year-old cousin Jules.
As soon as her son’s friends found out she was launching a guide on the app, they started asking her to include various topics, including where to start and what to do if things go wrong.
Chloe, who is also the co-founder of Made.com, told HuffPost: “We never learn how to connect, create closeness, listen, touch.
London-based French entrepreneur Chloe Mackintosh has shared how she and her 16-year-old son created the First Sex Kit to help teens lose their virginity (pictured with her sons Felix, 16, and Elliot, 14). )
“So the content we wanted to post is more than a few tips on putting on a condom, but more about the experience and being as relaxed and comfortable as possible.”
Khloe explained that sex was never a topic in her youth and she wanted to encourage her sons to have healthy relationships in the future.
She started working on the app during the Covid-19 pandemic when both of her sons, Felix and Elliot, 14, were at home.
She admitted that the topic of sex is inevitable in their home, where “books about sex are everywhere”, as well as “toys and gadgets”.
The “starter kit” element came in organically when her eldest son Felix, 16, chatted about sex with his cousin (pictured, video of Felix talking to a sex coach).
The mother-of-two explained, “After an initial period of resistance, Felix and Elliott began to get used to the subject and conversations about the subject became more and more normal.”
As organic conversations began, Chloe felt like she was getting more and more content for her app, recording various discussions for later reference.
The in-app set is designed to demystify sex for young people, with descriptions in language that echoes the way teenagers speak.
There are 20 different videos in the series where Felix sits down with a sex trainer to ask all the questions he has about intimacy.
The mother-of-two (pictured) came up with the idea for a sex education app during lockdown by launching Kama, which has recommendations for all ages on a range of different topics, including foreplay and anal sex.
In a trailer posted online to promote the app, Felix can be heard asking the trainer, “Could you help her undress? Or will you just take yours off and let her do it?
In another video, Felix asked, “If she says she’s in a little pain and you feel a little resistance in your body, what should you do?”
At the same time, the teenager also asked: “Where are the hiding places that they don’t tell us about?”
Khloe said she hopes it fills a gap in the sex education widely taught in schools, with topics like dry fucking and “how to use your penis inside.”
After an initial period of “resistance,” it began to seem to Chloe that her sons Felix and Elliot would talk about sex “more and more normally.”
The video tutorial on the app includes clips of the trainer talking to Felix about consent as well as foreplay.
There are also guides on foreplay, overcoming sexual anxiety, and engaging in anal play.
The entrepreneur admitted that she hopes the app will allow young people to openly discuss sex and pleasure with their parents, siblings and peers.
Online, the app is described as “offering conscious sex practices for all bodies, regardless of age, sexual orientation, or gender.”
The website continues: “The Kama Method is for one and all… Our unique approach brings together the body, mind, and heart to help us reconnect with ourselves and others.
“Kama is more than just a method. It is a social movement that aims to transform the conversation about sex and intimacy by building a community of sex researchers. ‘
